Some more old time pics

kicker · Mar 29, 2007

I found another pile of old time pics of my great grandpa and his gang from the 50's in Idaho. Here are a couple. Enjoy!!!

They hunted with .30-.30's back then.

Here is one his buddy got. I think their secret was the pipe smoking.

Awesome pictures! I wish I could get my horse to pack them out like that!

Yep if you mean the funny captians hat, that is on my great gramps. I don't know where or why he has that thing on but it's in every picture. Those guy's were tough back then. The trail sytem they used to get to this area is 10 miles of shale rock and cliffs.

Those pics are awesome, I especially like the ones wiht the 30-30s. I have a thing for lever guns.

Colville · Mar 29, 2007

Looks to me like gramps has a 300 or 250-3000 savage. I've got both of those guns from my great uncle in take down versions. Neat old guns.

Thank you for sharing those photos. I like the hat the one gentleman is wearing. I think it was a combination of the hat and pipe.

Captain's Hat and Leotards.....Just kidding but them pants sure are tight around his legs...LOL
Great old b/w photo's are the best.

Yes i know those pants are hilarious and he has the same gettup on in every pic for years. Mr. Tights aka grandpa later became a senator and busted his arse for protecting wild areas and hunting opportunities.

Those are some very cool old photos. Looks like the country they were hunting was pretty rugged and steep.

BuckSnort · Mar 29, 2007

Good friends,good horses and good country.Doesnt get much better than that.

Glad your great grandad and his buddys took the time to capture these photo's,they sure are fun to look at. Wish I could travel back in time and go hunting with them.

WAcoueshunter · Mar 29, 2007

Agreed, that one on the left is a savage model 99. Most of those that I know of were in .300 savage or .308. A model 99 300 savage was my first rifle. I don't hunt with it anymore, but it still shoots groups that touch at 100 yards.

Kicker, thanks for the awesome old time pics. Two of my favorite posts in recent memory. Those pics belong framed in a hunting cabin somewhere!

RACKMASTER · Mar 29, 2007

some don't know how well those old Winchesters and Savages shot!
how did they do on Elk?
I assume they hunted Elk also!

Great pics. I love them old time photos.
Are those Schnee boots?!

kicker · Mar 30, 2007

They cleaned up on elk as well. I'll put some of those photos together as well and post em up. They look like civil war boots to me

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing. I can't remember the last time I saw anyone hunting with open sights. That sure was a different time back then.

EdleBrock · Apr 3, 2007

Hey kicker, great pictures just the same... If you have more, I really like to see them. Next time I make it to my parents I'll have to go through the "picture box"...
