Good old days. The title got me thinking not only about the cost of things but how other things have changed. For instance rules and regulations. When I first started deer hunting in 1961 the regulations were on a single tri-folded 8 1/2 X 11 sheet of paper. Now it is a small booklet. So was there not near the regulations then and not that many needed to keep the law breakers in check??? Many more lawbreakers now??? I don't have the answer. Other than everything changes and in MHO gets more complicated.

Shit Zogman. You guys in nd have it SO 4ASY compared to Minnefornia.
We have to wear "a certain" amount of orange (square inches).
Always wondered if officers are trained in disrobb8ng folks in the field and measuring it?

ND has the 400 sw inch rule. At least they used to. Don’t think that’s changed

Fur buyer would give us a box of 22 shells for a jackrabbit, we were never out of shells

 

[LBrandt]

Took 2 gopher tails to buy a box of 22lr and then I used them for big game only like rabbits. Main stay for my 22 single shot was Rockets in the flat packs. Kind of wonder what the feet per second was with those because on a nice white cloudy day you could see them go like a bb gun. LB

I bought those Rockets in a Chiclet gum like package at Jim's Sport Shop in Devils Lake. Like you I can remember watching them against whit clouds. They looked like they were curving if you shot at something moving against a white snow background.

 

[LBrandt]

Did a little google search and the ads for the 22 Rockets said over 1600 ft per second. I find that hard to believe or maybe my eyes were a lot better back then. 17 grain bullet that were steel and wax composet so they would splater when they hit something hard. I know they would blow up a sparrow big time or a striped gopher. LB

You don't want to see my stash, some may call it hoarding. I say being prepared.

 

[LBrandt]

Your only hoarding if you plan on sticking it to the needy. LB

Went through my inventory yesterday.
Getting a bit small.
Now that coyote $$ are in the shiter, I'm actually thinking of selling my .17 cal guns and components.
Just kinda lost the "drive" for them I had.?
