Default 47 years ago

Going through some old pictures last night I found this of my brother and I . George was 13 and I was 11. We ran a trap line for preditors after school. A neighbor took our picture. Can only immagine the looks you would get now carrying your guns and coyote through town.
8 years later the lady that took the picture worked at the local community's college helped me to get some funds to go through the Aviation program and get my Airframe and Powerplant license.

That's funny. 1968 seems like only a few years ago, doesn't it? I was only four years old but already terribly worried over the shooting sports, having fired a .22 rifle for the first time only a year before. Kentucky, you know...

1948 seems like such a long time ago!

I'd been hunting by myself for eight years by 1968

Great picture Phil!!

I'll have to dig out some of my old pictures to see how old I really am

Hey Phil - Sorry to hi-jack your thread....

This is 1968. Kathy and me with what was left of the buck, after butchering, that I took on opening day of the '68 Vermont deer season. A little 6-pointer weighing about 125 lbs.

Dean thanks for your posting. I love vintage hunting photographs. I hope others will post some pictures, of their early hunts. When I found this picture last night it brought back lots of memories of my hunts together with my brother.
Many nights we layed in our room and talked for hours about hunting and such. Reading through the Herters catalogue, Fur/Fish/Game, Outdoor Life and others. Sharing what we learned and dreams. Great Memories.
Hunting has been the common bond since we were kids that still assures we get together 5 or 6 times each year.

Charlie yep it's a single 20 gauge made by Sears, if I recall it had a big hammer and a round push button on the side to open. Looking at the boots we were wearing reminds me how good I have it today with my KENETREX. back then I could wear anytime from a size 6 to a 16 . Just put on two pairs socks and another one roll up in the toe. LOL.

This one is over 50 years old. This guy still hunts pheasants, and other birds. He is a better shot these days
