Here's a photo and caption from an old fish and game news magazine from, I'm guessing, the 50's. Notice that this buck only received "honorable mention" in a photo contest.

Remember, it is honorable mention in a photo contest. Not size.

Awesome photo and awesome buck. I love old hunting photos.

I thought that was your grandpa Todd? and that was the small one.

Not sure where that article came from, but that is the Omohundro buck, taken by Jack Omahundro in 1970 outside of Salmon, Idaho. 5x5, 49 1/2". He actually gave the head away to a friend as he was partial to non-typical bucks. Many of those are still displayed ans Rainbows End B&B in Challis, Idaho!

Jack had quite a few between 45 and 50"! Amazing!

Geez, that deer would be easy to mistake for an elk!

Awesome. Here is another gem: a 1969 article indicating that 900 mountain goat permits would be issued in Washington.

Even funnier when people say, "he's too good of a buck, better to let him breed..." seriously?

400out · « **Reply #21 on:** January 07, 2013, 08:40:12 AM »

That spawns a question of where are they now! great buck! I would keel over before I got the shot off I'm sure of it

My dad and uncle hiked or down about 5 miles out of Riggins in the 80s and pulled a couple of B&C deer and a slew of monsters. They changed the hunt outside of the rut and alas they came back to Washington. I am trying to find the negatives to the pictures so I can post. Great country great deer.

I hope you can find the pics. I'd love to see that.

I don't know about that. I've seen a lot of old black and whites of guys posing behind those toads. Not a lot of fat guys....

Wow, what a great buck! I love those old hunting pictures

I recently had some old 8mm tape put onto DVD from my Dad taken about 1969. The last scene is my Dad (skinny guy) looking up at his B&C blacktail.
The camping equipment has changed, but the traditions stay the same.

Well most of those ol boys weren't fat because they WORKED for a living and didn't eat McDonald's on their lunch breaks.

couldn't be more true!

It was amazing the places that they could get a "car" though. They didn't think hiking was "fun" like we do.

Jeepasaurus, that was a wonderful video. I loved it. Buncha cool guys having a great time!
