Back in the Good Old Days
« on: January 06, 2013, 08:28:04 AM »
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. 

Bring a GPS!  It's awkward to have to eat your buddies!

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

Very nice buck right up there with the one I shot

The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

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! :)
