Remember when

[Bluehawk]

I cant remember a day through 12 years of school that I did not have a pocket knife with me .
 I can remember  many times talkng the gun with me to school to go hunting  deer or small game after ward.
 I can remember  TV shows Like  Leave to Beaver and Dennis the Menace and others where dad went DUck hunting on satURdays and they showed the gun.
 AND HE WAS'NT  A CRAZED MANIAC!!!!
  I remember the "American Sportsman " with Curt Gowdy on Sunday afternoon television with NOTHING but HUnting and fishing !!!!!!!!

I used to remember things But have forgotten most.    
I do remember having to skip the end of school in order to hunt with friends and take advantage of the spring wallleye run.

I also remember during Hunting season it was expected most kids wouldnt come to school so teachers would just show movies and not assign homework.

I remember to listen to my elders and pass along to kids.  My bones remind me I'm not getting younger.  My mind forgets more every day logic tells me I'm getting old.

Dont ask my age because you will think I'm young. I'd agree but I am aware things arn't what they used to be.  Being aware is 1/2 the battle

I Remember When, If You where Out and About, and just had to Call somebody, it cost a Dime, and The Booth had doors and when you closed them, a Little Light came on!!    
    I constantly Pose the Question to People I dont even know: " HOW  did  WE , as the Human Race,  EVER  survive  BEFORE  Cell Phones??" Some of the Answers I get are Very Funny, especially from the Elder Folks!!

I remember when you could get the opening day of deer season off from school in PA by just providing a note from your parents saying you were hunting!  Back then it was always a Monday.

There are still some schols closed on Opening day ( of gun season ) In PA

I remember when wearing red & black checkered wool was hi-visability.  When hunting education classes weren't necessary because everyone knew how to hunt and ethics were the norm.  I remember being eight years old and being able to buy .22 ammo all day long.  I remember.....

I remember when other drivers did not cut you off.

When 70% of drivers, people in bathrooms and restrooms did not have a cell phone glued to their ear.

The most important one was it took several years to even get a chance at taking a deer. I was always told you have to pay your dues before success will smile on you.

I remember coming home from school and grabbing my shotgun and hitchhiking about 3 miles to my favorite hunting spot . Had an old Ithaca double and would break it open and carry it on my shoulder . No gun case laws then . And people would pick me up and ask how the hunting was and even tell me where they saw animals crossing the road . I left my Baker stand at the base of a tree in a spot I mistakenly thought was safe and it got stolen , the only time I didn't get too upset about loosing a stand . I remember when they built the new Intermediate school in our town , early 60"s and noone was allowed on the fields for gym or recess because they hadn't harvested the soy-beans that were planted to help pay for the school , like to see that again .    Fred
