That's the era I'm stuck in. I wish I could get a nostalgia hunt together. I'm talking old guns, waxed canvas gear, wool, leather gear bags, Jones hat's or others..you name it. It would be so fun. Maybe a camp out weekend to go along with it. It would have to be early in the season so my crippled butt could take the colder weather. The problem is, I'm not to sure a person could find enough folks that would have the stuff to do it. Not many of us traditionalist left.
By the way, I'm a seasoned Ruff Grouse hunter. I have been known to poof a few Roosters that barely took flight. Tough to get that out of a person. Raised to shoot fast or the bird is gone into the thicket. I blasted a nice Rooster down south of Redwood falls Mn one time with a load of 13/8 #5 Remington. The bird actually accelerated in speed as the load hit it and drove it across a big drainage ditch. My female Chesapeake "Keno" was down through the ditch, up the other side in no time and picked up the bird. only to spit it out. She wouldn't bring it to me. I made my way through the ditch and to the bird and her. I picked it up and it had a hole though it the size of a coffee can. Just two legs, the back and the head. Once she got a taste of those innereds...she wasn't fetching that up. It was like, you shot the hell out of it..YOU COME GET IT LOL
