My Dad has been gone fifty years now and I still miss him especially this time of year, deer and duck season. Don't have too many pictures of him and none I can think of regarding hunting, wish I did. I remember going with him when he went deer hunting and there was no one to watch me, I was three or maybe four at that time, the late forty's. He left me in the car, a Hudson, and told me to stay in the car he would not be gone long. He wasn't out of sight when a buck jumped up and he shot it. I can remember him dragging it back to the car and putting it in the trunk. What I would give for a picture of that.
Our younger son, a career Marine, came home for deer season this year to spend time with us in the woods. He said it had been 19 years since he was home to hunt with us, where has the time gone.
The wife and I have tried to take lots of hunting pictures to pass on to our kids and their kids.
