This photo was about 50 years ago. I would put a couple of deer in the garage and before Miss Mary and I could get them aged, cut up and in the freezer the neighbors and friends would have them eaten.

We didn't have a meat saw when I was young - we would cut them down the spine like that with an old cross-cut saw. Your arm knew you had done some work when the deer was finally split in two.

I would love to have an area for the members to post vintage photos, for the sake of history. Too many of the old pictures meant a lot to the people involved and are now stored away rarely to be viewed and enjoyed.
I for one enjoy these photos. They are a moment captured in history that can never be quit repeated. They are in a way a record of some of the hunts we now wish we knew more about when we acquire a vintage gun.
History of the family, friends, guns, dogs and memories that the good lord blessed our lives with and should be shared.

Phil and the rest ,this is fantastic ! I'll have to see what pics I can find ....though my beginning years were in the early 80's we were behind you guys in most every way ,field and stream was about the only magazine that you could get that was hunting related and my brother had a subscription to that , a big deal in itself ....friends would come over just to see those .

we went to the local corner store with a gun draped over my shoulder many times after school,to pick up a little lunch ,we basically hunted out the back door ,I shot grouse and had snares where my house stands today...my first introduction to stockwork was an article in an old f&s, I was instantly enthralled and been trying to learn it ever since .

All the kids I grew up with hunted and fished ,to be honest I think its just me left ,there's guys that will go if I call them but it will be the only time they'll go all season ...I don't understand ,the Newfoundland outdoors can be disheartening at times (just ask Brian Hornacek ) but I've never lost the interest or passion, these day's I could care less about killing something ,though I do get pissed about letting the dogs down when I got shit in my eyes ! to me it's just to get out and walk breath in the cool air ,I shoot big Moose not for the horns but fore the amount of meat ,the two go hand in hand ...And Dean if you think and sawing a deer down the spine is tough try a moose ,we still do it that way ....damned if I know why

It seems I could wax poetic about this forever ,but I'll leave it at this
.
Great thread guy's keep it coming !

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.
Dean, He called you 'VINTAGE"

Best way to split a moose is with a chainsaw. I've heard some folks say they replace the bar oil with Wesson oil but I think that's just a story. You just drain or leave the bar oil in and you can't even tell because it all happens so fast. Nowadays we all carry Dewalt cordless Sawzall's and a spare battery or two in our moose/caribou/deer hunting kits. They save you a lot of labor I can tell you.

Newfoundland was disheartening relative to my Ptarmigan dreams but made up for it in overall experience. Its a place where you go to "hunt" not "harvest". Game is earned through your efforts not paid for to be put out in the field for you to kick up or fed out of a feeder while you sit in a blind with heaters and iphones. Newfoundland defines your passion for hunting, if you don't have it don't hunt there, if you are like Chris Dawe and myself its beauty and ruggedness welcomes you!

Today's pictures will one day be a memory of the past. Yes that is a Parker 16 gauge leaning on the tree my friends!
