How do you supose they hung them that high off the ground?

 

[mntman]

WOW! then did you see the size of the body on the buck, right side, middle row, 5th buck from the left?
He dwarfs all the others.

I would love to see the faces on the anti's when they seen this pic, that would make my year!

Biggest "live buck" I have ever seen was on the north side of Klamath Falls, Oregon in early morning on highway 93. He was walking across the roadway to the west side of ditch where the water was flowing. To this day I still don't know how many points he had, but was wide and cheaters out on both sides.
The wife said to shoot that one and lets go back home, it was snowing lightly already. I said "no can do" that is not a Moose and we are not in Canada yet. Nov. 2, 1972 and on the way to northern Canada for a Moose hunt.

There are some TOADS in that pile! I love the body differences on some of those deer! I'd love to see a few of them head on!

Great pic!

I counted 73!

Bottom right, second from the middle post/ladder - that thing looks to have a huge rack!

 

[BrowningRage]

Do you know more about this photo Ground&Pound??? Or are you just making that story up??? Were they hung out in protest of hunting? Is that why they were aloud to spoil?

looks like people are gathering for an auction.

I doubt it has anything to do with protest, and more likely being proud of their hunting heritage. 1940 presidential campaign was a landslide victory for FDR.

LAST EDITED ON Jan-02-09 AT 07:53PM (MST)[p]I actually know alot about this photo. As my family is from their. What I do know is that their are better pictures through out Klamath This is just one of several I have seen pics taken out in Bonanza of bucks that came off of Swan Lake and Langell Valley that would make your eyes spin.

That pic is taken from near downtown to the North Side near where KU Highschool sits today. The Photographer is facing to the south as he took the pic because that is Kago Hill behind him and the ridge above Moore Park, The bucks are hanging right at the Butcher plant. I would have a hard time believing that all those deer spoiled. Clint did you grow up in Klamath and were you there in 1940, Bar none their are some pigs in those photo's Please look at the Boone&Crockett book and look at the years following this one and the bucks that were harvested out of Klamath County and I can tell you with in 10 miles where everyone of those bucks were killed back in the 40's

That big bodied buck is nice but the big non-typ on the left side is an absolute stud.

Oregon allows the Wolves and Mountain Lions to eat
that many on a Daily basis, so let's not judge these
men to harshly.

Sad,

All of those deer were brought out whole, without quartering. Those were the days when men were men, before atv's, they just threw the deer over their shoulder and packed em out 10 miles in the snow.Uphill both ways.

Manny, How can you say there is no more deer in Eastern Oregon?
Yes, mule deer have been declining for years. ODFW tries to manage the wildlife, but with wolves, bears and cougars running around Eastern Oregon with out any efficient control, its not a big wonder why our deer herds are not like they were way back when. Also....there is WAY too much hunting pressure and more efficient ways to hunt deer today, compared to back then. We all need to stick together and fight the anti's. Manny, you saw the only 2 deer hunters pics that I guided this past fall....not bad for not being anymore deer here in Eastern Oregon, huh? jk....anyhow have a good one,
