I did my annual fall garage cleaning/reorganizing today. Buried in one of the Tupperware containers I found a picture of my first Turkey that I got in PA in the early 80's. I thought I lost this photo when I moved in 2005. I am on the right, my college friend Bill with his Coors hat on left. It brings back fond memories as if it was yesterday. Hopefully you all have your first photo, it brings it all back.....be well.

Most of my problems posting photos are because my files are to big. I downloaded a free file compression app to reduce the file size than download to this sight.

Tom, that's a picture of memories. That old school camo was and is still pretty good stuff... We were lucky to have camo back in those early years ...

Such a great thing to dig up and find. I'm pretty sure no one took any pictures of me during my earlier hunting years, not that I can remember. I do remember my wife, when we were young taking a few pictures, not sure if they were ever developed, we might not of had the money back then, lol!

All of my early hunting photos burned up in a fire at my dad's house when I was in the Marines over 20 yrs ago but here are my 2 favorite pictures of my daughters both getting their first. I will trade these over mine any day.

Well way back when I killed my first gobbler,  pictures were a little too heavy to pack around...here's the pic and complete story.

Seriously though, my parents took them on slides and I have no idea where they went too. My first print was in 1980 after I got married
my wife and I splurged on a fancy camera for our wedding and honey moon pictures:

here's my 1980 first picture I actually had as a print. By this time I had hunted almost 10 years and still didn't own camoflage....yeah I killed
jakes, if it came to the call it died.

Awesome Tom, that was a great find, rocking in the 80s?
