It is 30+- years old so I would say there are a lot of pictures. By today's standards maybe not. It has all black and white pics which I have always thought were great with all their detail.

Like Don said it is less instructional, but it is a great archive. A lot of these type of stories I have heard from my FIL, but since I'm not a recorder I have a hard time making since out of some of it. The last time we went to his hunting shack there were 6-55 gallon drums of corn in the bedroom, and he tried to tell me it was for the chickens and wild turkeys. I am enthralled by this kind of stuff.
