I have this picture on my wall.  Here was an old family friend that used to come visit my Grandfather and family(Idabooner).  I'm hoping Idabooner will log on here with one or two stories about him.  I can think of two (a shooting contest with a magpie) and how he used to use one bullet a year to harvest his deer.  They are classic and to be shared.  Anyhow this picture is also important to me because I once carried out a bear out of a canyon in Naches with the backpack method.  Its a little bloody and a little stinky, but one heck of a way to get a small bear out.  No three hundred pounders here.
An old indian family friend with his 200th bear.  I wish I hd his gun!

 This is a great topic, was your friend's last name Hornshuh by any chance? I hunt every couple years with my uncle who is now 74, two years ago we went to Montana and he hiked a 7,000' peak about three days in a row, many miles of vertical in zero temps and in the snow, he complained his knee was bothering him after several days and I said *censored* Loyd, my whole body aches, your doing great up there!! I hope I'm in that kind of shape at that age.

I swear they broke the molds from making real men.  We are all panty wastes compared to that generation as far as I am concerned.  Maybe not all of them were super human, but most that I have associated with sure are.  Sears Roebuck toilet paper was a luxury, and they wore wool undies.

Those are great stories and pics, reminds me of when I was a young hunter, an outhouse at the barn and one at the house w/sears and roebuck catalog.    I was with one of my uncles one time when he packed out a mulie buck similar to the old Indian did with the bear, for sure they don't make them like that anymore.
