Newbie here...well at least to Old Gobbler.
Been chasing gobblers for fully 40 years this spring.
Seen incredible changes. When I started, I remember only 1, maybe 2 commercially produced mouth calls. Friction calls were only little more available; pretty much a Lynch box or Tom Turpin scratch call. Got to know and visit frequently with Neil Cost. That's story for another day.
Don't remember 3" shells in 12 ga until a few years into the pursuit. Camo was WWII/Korea surplus or Vietnam "tiger stripe". There were no "store bought" camo guns...
I'm sure some other throwbacks from the 70's remember some of the same.
Looking forward to sharing experiences, but more--importantly--learning from y'all. Thanks!
