awesome--I love old photos--do you know where they were takin'---impressive body size on those bucks and the racks aren't half bad either---chris
 
From the 1950's? I bet most of those guys were WWII vets. No wonder we won the war, with guys like that on our side!

Is the guy second from the left in the group picture missing his right arm? I might be looking at it wrong. Great pics, thanks for sharing.

Middle fork of the Salmon area. STEEP AND DEEP! It took em a couple days to pack in. I too wish i could have been with them.

You are so right eelgrass. The men of those pictures were the real deal. The men who fought in WWII were my hero's. They wrote the book on tough. Ron
 
I really loved this post. Thanks for sharing your families past with us. I definitely was born a little too late.

Thanks again.

LAST EDITED ON Mar-29-07 AT 10:02PM (MST)[p]Yep, me and my Dad were talking about that same thing. What kind of bucks could they have put down with a spotting scope and long range rifles???

Maybe the same bucks, they just had to be better "hunters"?!

Thanks for all the kind remarks on this post. I'm glad you guy's love them like i do.

Kicker, Thanks for posting these awesome photos. I just love seeing these old, nostalgic photos of our sporting heritage. You?re lucky, those are treasured family heirlooms for sure. My ancestors didn't hunt much, so I only have one photo. It is of my Granddad in the mid 60's with his only buck, a nice 4 point. He was born in 1898 and didn't start hunting until he was almost 70. My dad gave him an old Model 94 30-30 and took him hunting along with my uncle. That is a very treasured photo to me. I'll post it when I get a chance.
 
Without a doubt, rare pictures indeed! Those are the types of pictures I can/do literally just sit and stare at tell my eyes hurt. Thanks a ton for puttin' em' up. Got any more? :)

Wow Kicker,
It is folks like your Grandpa that made America what it is. There are a lot of folks still riding on the coattails of all the hard work and character that that generation had. Thanks for sharing the photos, they are great.
