Hunting was good in Licking County in years gone by. Some of the guys with the days hunt. Photo taken in front of Farquhar & Steinbaugh Hunting & Fishing Supplies, Newark, Ohio, in 1938.

Great photo! I wonder what fox pelts we're bringing no that year.

Here in Kentucky fox hunters never actually killed the fox. They just got up on top of a high mountain and listened to the dogs run.

My people killed um they was too poor to let um run feed hounds and not get something out of them, but your right a lot of them did not!

Most people that I knew didn't bother skinning them … there was a bounty $2.50 to $5.00 bounty for the 4 feet up to the 1960s. You always got half what they paid for the reds for the grays.

Garry-

That is a great picture.

Nice...how did you come by the photo?

I was personal friends of these guys and George that owned the store … George took out a photo album one day and this photo was in the back … he let me take it and made a copy of it.


Garry-

That’s neat!

That’s a cool old photo!

Very interesting...any of those fellas still around?

Says the picture was taken 80 years ago.

Nope all gone … most were somewhat older than my dad and he has been gone for 20 years.
