His writing was published during his lifetime and it would seem likely that he would have been called out as a fraud by neighbors and guests he hunted with. He was also invited to hunt clubs and killed deer there in front of and with people who would later read those stories.
Cause someone said it does not make it true. |

For me Rutledge’s carved up Parker ranks right up there with Jack O’Connors Winchester Model 70 Biesen custom 270’s .

Tom, I believe Mr Rutledge shot many bucks but did not kill a really trophy till he was middle age . In An American Hunter published in 1937 he has a story “ Hunting with Half a Gun “ his firing pen breaks and he kills a buck with the second barrel and the second day he kills another buck with his one barrel gun . He is about to kill his 101st buck with his old fusee when the firing pin broke but he got it with the second barrel . “Yet I had no reason to complain, for that pin had never failed me in thirty years of pretty constant shooting.”

He kind of resembles Charlie Herzog although Charlie is much more handsome.

He's wearing the tallest available LL Bean Maine Hunting Shoe, so called.

The old 18-inch model? The maximum height today appears to be 16-inch.
