Title: Days gone by !
Post by: ron w on May 13, 2024, 03:29:14 PM

My wife found this cleaning some stuff up. Me during early bow in the Adirondacks of NY. I think early 90’s, tough hunting in that part of the world. Still have the hat and the shirt.

Memories are priceless!  Wish I had some pics of early years, most was solo hunting prior to ease of picture taking.

I love photo's from the past!

For some reason, I started taking a camera in 1978 and took pictures of every big game animal I took, along with logging the information  in the back of a Mississippi State University planner that I had picked up on campus. Then I bought photo albums and placed the pictures with a note on the back of almost all of them about the place and year. I still do that to this day (same 1978 MSU planner)

I often wonder what drove me to do all of that; but I immensely enjoy going through the albums and logs to relive those hunts. I know that one day in the not to distant future....those memories will be my 'hunting'

Great picture and thanks for sharing it with us!    :thumbsup:


Growing up, my dad wasn't a picture taker and I wish he had been. I really cherish the few I have of hunts back then.


Pictures are worth way more than a thousand words.

Hello, Ron!! That place looks familiar? and I remember that shirt and hat... Long time ago brother!
Beautiful picture, I wish I had taken more years ago. Have you talked to Ken lately?
