Title: Old guys when they were young
Post by: Ron LaClair on March 30, 2015, 10:09:00 PM: Recently found this picture dated 1968 of my wife Nancy and I on my Honda Trail 90. I ended up owning two of those great little bikes. I even strapped a deer of two on the back but unfortunately I never took a picture.

Any of you other "older" guys got young pictures?

Title: Re: Old guys when they were young
Post by: Ron LaClair on March 30, 2015, 10:34:00 PM: Right around that time I hunted for 8 days in a row without seeing a deer. On the 9th day I almost didn't go because it was really windy. I went anyway and killed a doe that evening with my Bear recurve. I tied it on the back of the Honda and road 4 miles home.

This picture is around 1961

Post by: NC BowBender on March 31, 2015, 02:34:00 AM: What I was trying to comment on was the Kwikee Kwiver. Just like mine, I don't think they had even thought of a hood for them.
Surprised we're not all injured or worse from flailing around the woods with open quivers.
I started hunting in NC in 1970, every weekend the season was open.
I didn't see a live deer on the hoof for 2 1/2 years.
When I did see one, I about fell out of my Baker treestand shaking so bad.
Somehow, the doe ran into my arrow and died.

Post by: reddogge on March 31, 2015, 04:28:00 PM: I don't have a single picture of myself with my first longbow in 1955 or my second bow, a solid fiberglass bow in the late 50s/early 60s.

Here is one from 1969 with my first deer kill/bow kill. Sorry I have to keep posting it since I can't go back in time to take some more.

Post by: Sixby on April 03, 2015, 02:24:00 PM: Love these kind of threads. I got the old part down pretty good but no pics of me , or very few at any time of my life. I do have one where we killed a bunch of coyotes and bobcats in eastern Oregon somewhere but no idea where. I just have been kind of camera shy or never bothered to haul one around. Too bad too because I have seen and been part of some really awesome stuff over time.

But I really enjoy your pics.

God bless, Steve
Title: Re: Old guys when they were young
Post by: reddogge on April 03, 2015, 03:54:00 PM: As I mentioned my greatest regret is not having any pictures taken when I was 11 in the mid fifties and received my new longbow, quiver, and arrows. Not one.

Then I didn't have any taken of my second bow, a solid fiberglass recurve when I was 14 or 15.

Then when I started to bowhunt in 1967 I didn't take any pictures. I took very few from 1969 through the 90s because I hunted a military facility inside the security area and you'd loose your privileges if caught with a camera inside the security area.

So a lot of my pictures are repeats and don't catch my archery and bowhunting formative years.

Title: Re: Old guys when they were young
Post by: Bladepeek on April 04, 2015, 11:25:00 AM: pred80, most of us do things in the reverse order - we get old and then want pictures. The trick is knowing enough when you are young to take the pics and then get old. The other way around just doesn't seem to work.

It also helps if you have something besides a Roy Rogers pin-hole box camera when you are young :)
Title: Re: Old guys when they were young
Post by: Wudstix on April 04, 2015, 02:02:00 PM: Yeah taking pictures was never considered then. Plus no one had a camera.

Reddogge... same thing in my photos. I started off life as a lefty. In the third grade I had a teacher who forcibly, and I truly mean forcibly, made all the leftys switch over to right handed.

Post by: reddogge on April 04, 2015, 11:10:00 PM: Randy, is your master eye still left? I think Jeff's is right but I never really asked him. I suppose I should but he's an excellent shot so I don't bother him.

Surprised we're not all injured or worse from flailing around the woods with open quivers.

my father is 77 and still uses the kwickee with no hood, he's stubborn and has a loud voice and I like to listen to him lay into people who tell him its dangerous, it usually begins with, how old are you? then after 5 minutes they wished they never brought it up.

Post by: Eric Krewson on April 22, 2015, 08:25:00 AM: Kwikie Kwiver, I still have the scar 40 years later. I ran my hand down my bow limb to the handle with out thinking while I was talking to a friend who pulled up in his jeep. The first Bear Razorhead I encountered cut me to the bone and headed me to the Dr in a hurry.

The light line is the scar.
Title: Re: Old guys when they were young
Post by: woodchucker on April 22, 2015, 09:47:00 AM: I did the same Dang Thing, Eric!!!!! :biglaugh:

I had an old Kwiky-Kwiver, backward on my old 50# Bear Alaskan, so I could "step-through" string it.....

I strung it up... Then slid my hand down the upper limb, right into a 4 blade Zwickey Eskimo!!!!! Nice & deep, right into the heel of my hand... No Doctor though, Dr.Mom scrubbed it out, poured peroxide in it, swabbed it down with mecurachrome, and taped it up!!! You can barely see the scar anymore...

(I did have a "Purple Hand" for a month or so) :rolleyes:
