From 1976.

[Fred Flintstone]

 Found this old Picture taken when,I was about age 16. Out in the Pheasant  Fields with Hunting partner Naomi.

  Great memories  from 1974 to around 2010 when,I used to bag 30+ Pheasants a Season. Awesome Pheasant Dogs- now Long gone.

 And Naomi was a good shot too!

Great stuff! Where is your hunting partner presently and does she still hunt or involved with the outdoors?

So you are still using the same camera from 1976?

Totaled my KZ900 in '76 (plate read 76OFF), moved out of the house, met my wife, changed jobs, shot a 10pt'r, had shingles, sold my GTO.  Wish I could go back to '75 knowing what I know now.

If he was it probably would still work!! Not like today's temperamental electronics.

FredF- 

Thanks for taking us along on your trip down memory lane. 

Encouraged me to check out a few drawers in my  spare room.  Dug some photos out of my desk drawer of places and fellow hunters that only exist in my memory now.   Pulled out a few plaques and ribbons and they brought back good memories of trials at venues that are also no longer  viable, as well as a few that still are in use.  

1976 was a pretty good year for me.  Was 6 years out of college, had a pretty good job, a couple good bird dogs and enough vacation time to do some serious damage  at the state wildlife management areas.  

Thanks again.

Cool photo! Love the old memories and stuff. 

My wife did a little hunting with me before we got married.
