Old family hunting photos
« on: May 30, 2015, 05:52:35 PM »
I found these photos going through old family pictures and figured I would share them. Most of these are from the Southwest Washington and Wyoming in the 1920's and 1930's. I really enjoy the one of my great grandmother and the pronghorn.

Very cool, no scopes. The first rifle looks to be a .30-40 Krag carbine.  :twocents:
I've gotta get to my family photos lot of old hunting from the 20 & 30s as well.

The man holding the .30-40 Krag is my Great Grandpa Archie and the rifle is still in my dads collection, along with the Colt Woodsman.

The boy in the photo of the pronghorn is one of my Great Uncles.

Back in the day my late uncle was a real camera buff and took tons of pictures and video so I have a bunch of old hunting pic's he took. A couple years ago my cousin found a bunch of my uncles old movie reels and converted them to digital and handed out disks to everyone. What a treasure trove of memories, most all from the 40's, 50's and 60's, several hours worth. The old hunting videos are awesome, If I was better at video editing etc. I would sort the hunting ones out and post them.
