Thread: When men were men

I shot deer for a good part of my income for a couple of years during the 70's. I left shepherding to do it and casual mustering & shearing, and the first deer I shot I got more than a week's shepherding wages. I then went onto deer capture and then deer farming.
Ive never thought that there was anything manly or unusual about it, and seldom reflect on it. Truth is I'm a lot better hunter now and when I look back I was really a bit of a naive kid (in my late 20's). Good times though. Quite a selfish life for a married man with a couple of kids (like I had).

Ive got almost all of the old books. No use to me, but reluctant to let them go. Nostalgia I guess.
