This is probably the best of the classic galleries. Really like to see the pics of the hounds.
I agree herbie, and I love picture # 27.
These are wonderful photos and a great tribute to the men and women that hunted then. I can't help but look at these photos and feel we have lost alot
of what these folks enjoyed. the commercial aspect of hunting has taken something from away from my enjoyment. those folks didn't need 12 differant Bass Pro Camo patterns to hunt, They just grabbed there wool shirt and pants and hit the woods. Don't get me wrong we have it better in many ways we have more game (in most cases) to chase, but most big game hunting is out of my reach because of out of state fees and getting drawn is very unlikely in most western state. I can hunt in my state with no probelm. It's just amazing the number of products we thing we need to pick up your gun and walk into the woods, and its all because of the hunting TV shows whose livelyhood
depends on you and I buying 42 differant scents and an ATV because we can't walk 200 yards. I suppose its all good for the economy!!
Cheers....
These pictures are awsome. They really show something that we have lost in some ways. These show the moments that are only caught when a man carries a gun the same way we carry pocketknives. These men were son extremely comfortable with their sport and their equipment. Also their is so much mor eevidnce of trapping and hunting furbearers in these pics. I wish F&S and OL would show more of this and keep us up to date on this as well as hunting.
some pretty amazin pics. i miss the times when there wasn't many jhackasses
There is something really special about these old photos. Just the opportunity to be there to take many of these photos.
Love to see the clothes and the equipment.
The pic with the hunter face to face with a puma just grabbed me. Hearts had to be thumping all around.
this is a cool picture, one of the best ones i've seen yet
Editors,
Is picture # 1 , entitled "lugging in the trophies", a photo of the late Clyde Ormand?
I wish my Grandfather was still alive, he'd love to look at some to these old shots. That guy really gave me an appreciation for the water and the woods.
I make it a point to keep my Canon (oh yeah and the camera too) in the truck all the time because I don't want to deny shots like these from the next generation.
Great picture. I have some like that on my profile. You should take a look.....
All good pics. (especially #13, #19, and #27.) Great gallery and thanks again for sharing.
Man, these pics are epic! Its like a passing of a whole hunting generation, and they were very good at doing what they did (obviously).
I love the classic style of the hunter in these photos. Completely functional. You have to pay hundreds to get what the had from filson or someone like it.
I think its interesting to note these guys took some amazing animals with no modern high-tech gear. It says something if they can get animals without even camo. Perhaps we should reconsider the importance of the hunter as compared to the importance of his gear.
