Can anyone relate?

To these old photos? Takes me back to bygone days when times were a lot simpler.

And wimmen were much stronger!!!

They say the farther you go back in history the men were more manly and so were the women.

Nice pics!

Saw Fred Bear, Jack O Conner?

Babe Ruth, Jim Thorpe, Teddy Roosevelt and more...

How could you not fall in love with a woman who can carry a buck like that over her shoulder?

Used to hang a meat pole in front of the hotel in Roxbury and hang the deer that the patrons shot. Nice pictures of a time gone by.

Never knew the Babe was a hunter. Great photos.

Seen some pics of him hunting rails here in local marsh.

That bear is pretty small. LOL.

The old whiskery fellow, at 39 seconds, sitting on the stump with the Blunderbuss is none other than John "Spikehorn" Meyer, a famous businessman that operated "Spikehorn's Bear Den" on the corner of M-61 and US 27 near Harrison, Michigan in my youth. He died in 1959. I have a vague memory of a bewhiskered old man sitting on a stool just inside that tourist trap building when I was a kid.

Seen 2 different pic's of Noah John Rondeau ,the " Hermit of Cold River". 1= tepee polewood at his site. 2 the other was of He with a bear over his shoulder with long bow in hand. Tut

Lots of lever guns were used back then!

Them were the days, now everything is regulated to death.

Thanks!

I can relate because my dad, uncles and gramma were part of this area. All used lever guns, had high boots over pants and all clothing was red/black or green/black plaid wool. And they walked virtually everywhere.

A lot of folks just enjoying nature. Don't see a lot of high dollar camo, equipment, posing with the critter like it is some kind of artistic photo shoot, etc.

I make sure I get good quality pictures with the animals I take, not so much for anyone else other than me. Same reason I keep a journal of my hunts. I figure one day this ole memory will fade and one of my boys or grandchildren will come to me and say Dad or Papa, do you remember this hunt? I hope with pictures and them reading to me that it’ll jog that memory back and I can relive that day once again.

Cause her Dad is in one photo carrying a bear on one shoulder

Pretty cool.

Anybody ever see one of Al Capone and the inner circle of the "outfit" hunting ducks? A former boss of mine claimed to have seen this picture, just curious if it actually existed?

What's the rifle the fella is holding at 2:52 in the video?

No.... She is just that big.

They were doing exactly what you say, posing for a photo shoot took even more effort, and they were wearing and using the latest stuff.

You win.
