Funny thread,but you guys are depressing me
Guess I will beat the heat this morning and go for a ride on my 80 speed mountain bike with full on suspension.Sure beats my banana peel and tube socks.

Johnson wool pants are NOT a sign of old age.

You have one of them new fangled telescopic sights on your .35 remington.

 

[antlerradar]

you stepped up to a 30-06, instead of a 30-30 leaver action

This thread is cracking me up. Seems to me you can be 'old school' with out being 'old' per se. But maybe that 's just 47-year-old me.

You went to the nearest convenient store of your lease to buy a box of tampons when you ran out of scent wicks. You had enough in one cheap box to last all year! String added for limb tying!

This is of course after a stern warning from the wife to never steal any more from the house!

When you had to get up turn turn the channel on tv. And all you had was an antenna that would only get 4 channels.

 

[dcopas78]

You left your air rifle on the school bus so that you would have it when you went home for a stay over at your friends house on Friday nights..

 

[Sawtooth]

You got your hunting/camping needs taken care of at the Army/Navy surplus store.

 

[Pagosa]

Going deer hunting meant loading up the hounds and driving the roads to strike a hot track. I'm only 40 but this was the method used, I wish it was still legal for deer hunting.

If you watched the moose and squirrel on saturday morning tv when you were too young to hunt.
