Great photos you come from good stock!

Neat pictures. I find it interesting how back in the time when those pictures were taken that guys were able to get wherever they needed in what was basically the family sedan. Now-a-days, it seems as if we can't go hunting unless we're in a 4x4 or on horseback.

Those gents dress better for fishing than I dress for church or the opera

I was gonna ask you Blaine when exactly was the last time you headed out to the opera or church BUT I CHANGED MY MIND

I'm ashamed to say I'm a Christmas/Easter/Wedding kind of church goer. I like to listen to the Opera and Symphony, and about any kind of jazz or big band. The Pacific NorthWet has a very relaxed dress code.

I enjoyed those photos. The two rifles in the first photo look like Savages.

[JerryB]

It does look like both are holding Savage rifles. That is really a big buck. Do ya'll know that hunters really did kill deer and bear and did not have to wear $1000.00 worth of camo clothes and boots?
Thanks for the great pictures.

on the back of the pic.it is dated 1942 and says the deer was 300 lb's.
my uncles were big fans of the 250/3000 and 300 sav.

I would venture to say those rifles may very well have been the only ones
They ever owned. Today most of use have Fort Knox like safes full of
Rifles and shotguns for every possible hunting scenario we could possibly
get into.

My wife and I refer to our Honda Odyssey as our "all-terrain minivan". We do indeed take it where some folks wouldn't take their shiny trucks. Hasn't failed us yet. The 4X4s that are bought seem to be often more "want" than "need".

Mascouche, Quebec.they used horses most of the winter for hauling lumber to the saw mill and getting the maple sap for making Maple syrup.very few english speaking people up there.

the last time I was up at the farm was 1985 just before I shipped out again to germany.

AWESOME photos!!
That is either a HUGE deer, or those guys are midgets.
Savage 99's for sure.
