Good stuff!
Great read. Brings back memories of my own. Thanks for sharing.
John Jobson was a good one .
Your memory has spawned one of my own. The line on the cover about "another great Havilah Babcock quail story" brings back my memory of finding one of his books in the college library. Spent a lot of time reading about fishing and hunting in that library and bought re-prints of all of Babcock's books. Thank you for bringing those photos and memories to us.
Wow! Good read. I spent many hours reading about fishing and hunting myself when I was young and I am still today reading and learning. I always looked forward to the new Sears and Roebuck catalog to see the new fishing products and hunting products(guns) back in the days when I was a young boy also. Thanks for sharing this article and the pictures.
days gone by
great story
Like a few of the others, thanks for bringing back some fond memories. Outdoor Life was a favorite magazine of mine, but I craved all things outdoors. When young, you haven't a clue how great life is. No real worries, just school, sports, and the love of the great outdoors.
Great article pawpaw! Enjoyed it tremendously!
Thank you PawPaw. I also enjoyed going to the library and looking for magazines and books about fishing to share with our students. When I became a building principal I started a hooked on fishing not drugs youth group called PYP...Positive Young People. Now in my 70's I am still endeavoring to teach people about Crappie fishing. Now in this electronic age I mostly use E-books, You Tube and Crappie dot com forums to teach P.E.A.C.E. (People Experiencing and Active Caring Environment) and fishing.
