This took me back. In 1972 my friend Les and I went on what I believe was Arkansas' first "Primitive" firearms (muzzleloading) deer season. It was, IIRC, restricted to the Sylamore Wildlife Management Area near Mountain View. Les had a TC Hawken and I had a cheap FIE "Kentucky" rifle. We were 15 and Les' dad drove us up from Little Rock and left us at Gunner Pool campground. There were only five hunters there. Me, Les, two guys in a camper from Louisiana, and a true old-school buckskinner in a primitive camp. Didn't get a deer, just a skunk before it could let go on us. The old buckskinner showed two awestruck kids some cool tricks. This kind of experience is lost to kids raised on inlines.
