Nice bucks but I gotta ask, what's with the duct tape?
it was a little on the warm side so we tape the ears and nostrils...keeps blowflies and hornets from crawling in the openings and getting into the carcase and laying eggs...old trick a packer taught me..

Very Nice deer!! I was just over there hiking around yesterday. Deer pop isn't what it used to be.
Amen to that,its gettin tougher and tougher to see what we see,let alone being able to put one down...it seems year after year ya got to put in alot more time and energy to see quality animals..Having said that,i dont mind doing that in fact i beleive the harder ya got to hunt,the more rewarding it is if your fortunate enough to squeeze the triger on one..Loss of habitat and a predator problem that in my mind is way out of control has taken a huge toll on the herd..IMHO

In his hunting career he killed 74 bucks,all washington mulies and never had one mounted,killed plenty that were alot bigger than this one and gave most of his horns away to the kids in the neighborhood,my dad says he had several that were in the 30 to 35 inch range. :yike:
Post by: bigmacc on November 05, 2013, 09:33:57 PM
Amazing pics, thread of the year IMO. Have you hunted the same camp all these years? If so that us amazingly cool.
yep,same camp,all washington deer..We tried to Figure out how many deer the camp has killed going back to the 1920,s when the great grandparents started it,we came up with somewhere between 600and 650bucks..all muleys except for 1 whitetail my cousin got about 6 yrs ago :chuckle: he messed up the string :chuckle:

I've read every word of this thread... Awesome! The pictures, stories and heritage are remarkable. As a guy that does not have that kind of heritage, I'm sure that I don't have to tell you how special those memories are. Thanks for sharing a sliver of your family's history!
Heres another little story my dad still likes to tell to this day about my great gr.grandparents....I think it was in the late 60,s or early 70,s....It was a warm day out and grandma and grandpa were done with there morning hunt and went back to camp for lunch.At about 1oclock he asked her if she wanted to go for a hike and she said ok,he told her to bring her gun just in case.They walked about 3 miles into an area they wernt to familiar with and started to hear motor noises,they stopped and looked around and saw 2 teenagers riding honda 90,s in a big circle,round and round.The boys camp was about a hundred yards away.As they were watching these kids riding their motorbikes granpa noticed the tips of horns poking up thru the brush in the middle of the circle,he told grandma "I,ll be darned but i think theres a buck bedded in there!" he motioned for one of the kids to come over(turns out they were 14 and 15 yrs old) the one rode over to my grandparents and the other kept riding around the circle(about a hundred and 50 ft in circumfrence) grandpa asked him if he wanted to shoot that buck and the kid who was in disbelief said he or his cousin didnt have hunting lic,s and all the adults were out hunting til dark.They motioned the other kid over,they turned off the engines and my granpa shot a huge 4 by 5 at about 50 yrds,now heres the corker,after he shot, a 2nd one stood up and my granpa handed the gun to my granma and she shot that one! Another 4 by 5,could have been the twin to the one my granpa had just shot! They asked the boys how long they had been riding and they said about an hour.Those bucks must have figured they were hid in that brush with all the comotion going and werent gonna give themselves away. Ya just never know :chuckle:

That is great that you have generations of hunting and pictures all from the same camp.
I myself only missed 1 year being at the camp,i wrestled all thru highschool and made it to the state tourney in the mid 70,s i had to miss that year with all the 'rasslin" stuff going on. After highschool i persued boxing which i had been involved with since the age of 13 and had made it to a tourney that (if i had won the fight) would have put me into the Golden gloves tourney. The match was during hunting and i wasnt gonna miss another season,ended up with a beauty of a 5 by 6 that year and probably avoided what could have been my 3rd busted nose! :chuckle: Never stepped into the ring again,looking back and seeing some of the guys i used to box with (that i havent seen in years) that went pro and made a few thousand per fight in club fights and were basically used as stepping stones for so called 'up and commers',these guys are pretty beat up nowadays. Ran into one a couple years ago that i hadnt seen in 30 years,-not good! He stayed at it way to long hoping to get that one shot,4 divorces later,numerous blows to the head,and trouble with the bottle,he is now homeless part time and part time lives with family,very sad...Glad i chose to go huntin that year and walk away from it....

Someday I need to sit down at my dad's house and scour through his photo albums and do what you've done here. The family killed lots of buck deer in the Cowiche-Ahtanum in the 50s-60s and these remind me of them.
My fave by far of yours is the bruin from Kodiak.
That bear was killed by your grandfather? You're Morris Talifson's grandkid?
I had read Morris was a lifelong bachelor?
Either way you've got some history my friend. I know enough about Morris and his guiding and business partner Bill Pinnell to know that you are one lucky grandkid.
Morris was highly regarded by many who knew him and it was understood that Bill was the businessman part of P&T and Morris was the bear hunting machine. Those two along with Charley Madsen are regarded as probably the most influential of the early guides on Kodiak. Madsen was operating since the 30's and didn't care for P&T beings that they were new arrivals but hey, Kodiak is big enough.

From what I remember this bear was killed at the west end of Akalura Lake near their base of operations at the old cannery at Olga Bay. It was Morris's first bear and was killed at the request of some villagers of Akalura because Morris owned a .375 H&H? I think I read in Harry Dodge's excellent book Kodiak Island and it's Bears that the hide is now in some museum somewhere?
There is a photo of it in Marvin Clarks book Last of the Great Brown Bear Men also. I was always amazed at the size of that bear and it's probably the motivation for my own interests in grizzly hunting.
