FYI the guy in the "rowboat" is actually in an Adirondac Guide Boat.
I plan to build one someday.

It looks like the cat hunters' other rifle is an 1892 carbine in 25-20 or 32-20. It's a bit hard to see but it looks like a carbine forearm and a mag tube ring. If so, those guys are truly brave men. A 22 and a 32-20 would not be my idea of proper armament for a lion hunt, but it looks like these guys did just fine.
I see an 1895 with the moose hunters. And that IS a very nice mulie taken with the 1886.
That 4th picture, hmmmmm.....I think these boys may chase their sisters!
Anyone hear a banjo playing?:lol:
And, I sure hope our Amigo, Refugio don't fall out of the boat!
Just kidding, great pics!

In the picture with the three upright deer and the two guys,
at first I thought they were hanging but now I think they
stood them up on their feet after riger mortis had set in.
I cant see any ropes at all.
Look at the one guy who looks like he is hugging his deer
and holding it up.
Naw ! A deer that big would fold, rigor or not ! Besides, look closely at the animal's necks, just next to the head/rear of the jaw, where a pressure line can be seen, from them hanging from a rope/whatever.
The meat pole rope might have been the same color/tint as the backdrop, making it/them hard to discern.
None of them are holding a deer tight enough, long enough, to hold it upright for a photo, IMHO, either.
What is a "safe queen"? I don't own a single one, all of mine get used as they were originally intended.

These Guide boats are not the easiest boats to build as I'm sure you know, allot of bending and shaping involved, and many many hours.
I regularly check out that site to drool. I had it in my mind, until some responsibilities became obvious to me, that I would take one of the 15 foot kevlar units and go down the James River up the Chesapeake Bay and via the many waterways and not a few portages to Lake George and Lake Champlain OR come back home that way.

I blew that photo up real big, and there is no trace of any rope or wire, but after looking at their boots and pants legs, I believe them deer are frozen.
