The pic with the Cougars ? It looks like a Remington Model 24/Browning Auto-22/FN Auto rimfire.
Salty dudes, indeed - if they took any of those cats with a .22.

FYI the guy in the "rowboat" is actually in an Adirondac Guide Boat.
I plan to build one someday.
Refugio....
Has to be a rifleman with 5 cartridge belts....
but he's carrying 2 pistols as well (1 cartridge belt)
This man is ready for WAR!

Wow !! Thanks for posting these great photos. I love this stuff.
And I agree with many of the others, Refugio looks like something else!
Wonder how many cartridge belts he had to take off to go to the bathroom?
Wouldn't want to have to tangle with him though. - DixieBoy

First, them dogs don't appear to be afeared of cats.
Second, that buck is HUGE.
Third, I think I met Refugio (or his brother) on my last hog hunt...

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.
History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

Very cool pics - thanks!!
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.
Thanks Pete !

Anyone hear a banjo playing?:lol:
And, I sure hope our Amigo, Refugio don't fall out of the boat!
Just kidding, great pics!

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.

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.GANJIRO wrote:Check these out:bsaride wrote:FYI the guy in the "rowboat" is actually in an Adirondac Guide Boat.

Uh-oh, here we go.
It's 1894. The bottom of the reciever is too flat and straight to be a 92.

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.Pete44ru wrote:Naw !
