Default Unknown Upland Hunter
Does anyone know who this man is? The picture was taken late 40's - early 50's

Purported to have hunted with Burt Spiller.

That's not the best picture for comparison . That was from one of his last two British Columbia Stone Sheep hunts either in 1971 or 1973 about 5 years before he met his maker .

Never saw a photo of JO’C with a mustache. I have no idea who the mystery upland hunter is, but I’m pretty sure it is not JO’C. Also, the upland hunter appears
To be considerably older in the photo than the photos of JO’C, which were taken in the 70’s. I’d bet the upland hunted had passed to the great grouse covert in the sky well before the photos of O’C were taken.
