I remember when I was younger my pawpaw had a 70’s model Chevrolet Truck with a big camper top on back of it and we would go down to Pensacola Beach Fl and stay on the 3 mile bridge and fish for 3 or 4 days have a lot of good memories and pics on that bridge.

Man I miss those days, hunting in Heard in the 80’s was awesome!
Sleeping in tents, my dad had a Dodge Power Wagon Truck 4x4 that thing was a beast. Y’all remember the 1st Remington 742 30-06 my dad, grandpa, and uncles bought new ones at the same time I think they were $100-150. They were the bomb back in the day

A rem 742 in .30-'06 was the downfall of many a deer. The extractor was it's weak point and for while hard to get.
