Hunting
First pic is a buck I shot at age 14 in 1966. We were hunting in the Adirondacks camping in the state lean-to on Calkins Creek. While we were there Johnny Thorpe stopped by fur prospecting, as in the winters he trapped from this same lean-to. First time I met him, but he knew my Dad and Grandfather.
Second pic is a mulie buck I shot in 1961 at age 9. To this day it is the biggest mulie shot by anyone in the Space family, 193 score Boone and Crocket. Model 94 in 30-30, I was flingin' lead as fast as I could lever it as he ran downhill thru the quakies.

Pictures from a stone sheep hunt in British Columbia. We shot both (mine and my father's) rams on my birthday August 1 in 1970. He had a Springfield '06 and I had a model 70 in 270 Weatherby.
