Great Old Photo
« on: May 02, 2016, 07:53:37 AM »
Received this old photo in one of those "great old pics" emails this morning.  Has anybody seen this one before?  Any idea who it is?  Thought it was a nice pic from a different era.

A cat on another forum I posted this on said the rifle is a Remington Hepburn.  I googled it and I think he may be correct. 

You can get buy a repro for a reasonable price  ;)  http://csharpsarms.com/catalog-detail.php?product_id=40

 With out looking through the whole book Boone and Crockett puts out a Mule Deer Retrospective edition, that has a lot of old pics. I know I saw some old pics with the lady hunters in them.
We give your trophy that final compliment!

Phantom16-I think you nailed it!!!  In one of those pictures the rifle has the wavy lever release on the right side, like in the vintage photo above in the post.

 Caption should have been:




Standing over one of her many trophy mule deer, subsistence-and-sport huntress “Gusty” Wallihan appears every inch the frontier matron with her dressy bonnet, prairie-pattern cartridge belt, floral-embroidered gauntlets, hunting knife, and Remington-Hepburn rifle.  1895
