My experience is about the same as Dennis’s. I remember those old 35 mm cams. You’d have to take the film in to get it developed, wait a day or pay extra for the fast developing. Pretty primitive by today’s standards.
Primitive is an understatement. My parents gave my brother and I 35mm game cameras for Christmas in the early 90’s, and we were literally going to 1 hr photo almost daily to get 5 pictures developed just to see what was there. At the time, it seemed very worthwhile...My experience is about the same as Dennis’s. I remember those old 35 mm cams.

Feeders, food plots, cameras, deer stands, pfft!
We would just climb a tree near a trail or a field the deer visited and sit on a limb waiting for a chance at a shot.
The fancy guys would nail some 2x4s to the tree trunk for a climbing ladder.
That's the way I started deer hunting. Then they came out with screw in steps to get to that limb. Then they came out with plastic seats to strap to the limb you just climbed up to with the screw in steps.Feeders, food plots, cameras, deer stands, pfft!

Then garage sale extension ladders seemed much more easy to climb than screw in steps.
The evolution of deer hunting has been an interesting journey. Now I sit in an elevated box blind in a padded office chair with a propane heater keeping me warm. Paid my dues over the last 40 years.
More into the hunt than the kill now.
Aw, now you’re just rubbin it in,Okie!That giant 200+" buck that was killed a couple of evenings ago that everyone can't quit talking about had zero trouble sticking his nose up to a feeder lol.
