Subsistence farming in a family that included six boys and two girls. Here is a photo of Herbert, rounding out their diet with what I would guess were Smallmouth Bass.

Great photos! Always nice to glimpse the past through the viewfinder of a family camera.

I've had just one day like that with rabbits in my lifetime. During a very high rabbit year here in Alaska a friend and I went out to harvest trapping bait and shot 52 hares in 2 hrs with Winchester pump .22's and were still surrounded by them in every direction. Only reason we quit was running outa bullets! His very aged black lab had the time of his life retrieving every single hare - that part of it alone made the day worthwhile in spades. He was in heaven! How many dogs get to make 52 retrieves in a day?!

Kathy raises the right questions, though. Shortly after she produced the photo she wondered: Whatever happened to those guns?

52 retrieves for a dove dog would be fairly commonplace, especially early in the season and if you are the only guy in the party with a dog.
