What do you consider to be the "good ole days"?

For me it was growing up on the farm back in the 90's and living to duck/goose/dove hunt. I remember during duck season, our blind was about a 5 minute 4-wheeler ride from our house so we would go every morning before school, shoot for about an hour and then make it before class started. Then after school, my brothers and I would either creep geese in one of our fields, or try and make an evening dove roost hunt.
The weekends were even better, because we could stay in the blind all morning and just have fun. Hell, I remember shooting the hell out of snipe and dove right from our blind. Even though we still hunt the same fields, it just wasn't the same as how it used to be. Duck numbers were WAY higher back then, and dove hunting was better because it was before round-up ready soybeans.
Anyways, can't ready for teal season!

When I was in junior high and had zero responsibilities besides catching and killing. Limits and species had no place in my vocabulary.
Also, hanging out with my grandpa when he was in better shape while he taught me about farming cotton soybeans corn and wheat.

I wasnt alive for them but I am going with the late 60s-70s. Big block V8s, awesome music and so many ducks they blocked out the sun.

We must be about the same age then. The nineties were the good ole days for me. Gas was cheap and we spent every free day in the woods and on the water.

Ah yeah, that made the 2hr trip to Big Lake very affordable.

4-9th grade '90's-00's. Middle school summers were like the sandlot for us. In junior high I began seriously hunting and fishing. Run ins with the law were harmless.
We killed/caught everything we could. We lived on 4 wheelers 24/7. I first picked up a bow. We used to swim the mandeville harbor in the summer to catch white trout at the end of the wall on the state park side. We took my buddies 14 ft with an old tiller to the 4 mile hump and trolled the causeway for specks, used to go every morning of the summer and tore them up. Musta caught bass out of every neighborhood in mandeville/covington. Spent winters in Delacroix venice and madisonville slaughtering ducks and petal mississippi tryna kill Bambi.
And this was also the time when girls were more of a pleasant mystery instead of a PITA.
I always try to put myself in those times, it's weird what can do it, a smell, time if year, a sight and I get a rush like I'm there again sneaking out my buddies house at 12 years old to go roll houses and stuff. Damn I had a good childhood

The 90s. Hunting and fishing was all I was concerned with. Of course the beer came into the picture around the mid 90s so that made everything even better.

I don't yearn for my childhood years. It's a toss-up. Either:
1) When stationed at the naval station on Algiers Point in early 80's, or Kodiak in the late 80's
or
2) Now.

Lots of good ole days for me.
Driving my opa's truck at age 10 for 20 down country roads while he sat shotgun and smoked.
Shooting geese with high school buddies.
Learning the secrets to catching flounder around Christmas Bay.
Watching my first born learn to speak.
Taking my kids on their first camping trip.
Getting a blowjob on the way to school.
Eating peaches right off the tree from my grandparents orchard.
Watching my little brother catch a catfish on a raisin.
Catching a snapping turtle in my grandpa's pond.
Hitting my first birdie with my dad.
And just the other day...watching my son get over a bout of seasickness once the salmon bite turned on.
great thread to make us step back and think.
