Title: Vintage Pics
Post by: boneaddict on April 04, 2007, 12:39:04 PM
This is one of my all time favorite subjects.  I just love vintage pics.  Does anyone have any that they would be willing to post.  Here is one of mine.  My Dad, Grandad and Uncle.  My Dad's(middle) deer that my uncle is sort of posing with.  If you have any pics please post them, I'd love to see them.  I've seen a few wlsewhere that I might beg borrow and steal to get on here.

Elk hunt in 1938 near Ferron Utah. The meat from the elk was auctioned off and sold for money to bring the first electricity to Ferron.

We had a bunch of B & W prints made up for a hunting camp we used to rent. Some SOB stole them all. They were from the 20s,30s, and 40s in THE Upper Peninsula of Michigan (aka Yooper Land) of family members and friends.

Funny thing about those pics is I remember asking grandpa why we had curtains and pull down blinds in a garage. He told me that during the Depression poaching was still illegal so they blacked out the garage at camp for butchering.

Here are two more shots.  Idabooner needs to come on here and clear this up for me a bit.  This was my grandfathers and Great Uncle Chucks, the famous Kikendall brothers, prospecting cabin.  It was perched on the mountain over looking Slate Creek I believe, in between two slide chutes.  It was aptly named the eagles nest.  I was fortunate enough to get to see the cabin before a slide took it down a few years back.  What was unique about it was that it had a spring inside the cabin, and always had fresh water.  When I was there the tin cup they used was still there. I brought it home and is now one of my most treasured heirlooms.  Here is where I really need Idabooners help.  I think that is my Uncle Chuck pictured in front of the cabin, but not sure.  It might be my Grandpa.  The other picture is of my grandfather, and possibly my Dad and his younger brother.  I'm not really sure.
ENJOY!

Those are priceless...do you know about what year they were taken?
Title: Re: Vintage Pics
Post by: Idabooner on April 22, 2007, 10:44:51 AM
Boneaddict, you have a good memory, and proof of some mountain man blood cruising your veins. The top picture had to be taken before the mid 30's, because they were dog teaming freight to the big mines from the mid 30's. That's your Grandfather (my Dad) standing on the corner over a sort of open air basement shop where they processed the ore grindings from their homemade raster. The raster was  cement poured into the bed rock forming a bowl about 3 feet across, 1 foot deep, they put the high grade ore into it with a little water running into the bowl from the creek, they would drag, roll a big rock around grinding the ore, the gold would stay in the bowl while the ground up rock would wash over the sides. Then they would take the rich mud grindings from the bottom of the raster to their shop where they used cyanide to separate the gold, and mercury to absorb all the fine gold dust, then using a raw potato, they would cut a plug out and hollow the spud, put the gold rich mercury into it, plug it and bake the potato for the right amount of time, this caused the mercury to separate evaporating  into the top side of the potato and the gold would be in the bottom side of the spud. Don't try this at home. They done this on a windy day so they could avoid the very dangerous fumes.
Notice the trail, it's about 2 air miles long, a long ways in that country, there was at least 2 nearly straight down slide guts they crossed, they jammed logs into the bed rock then filled the top with small rocks to make a trail across, very scary for me. About 100 yards from the cabin was a small creek that had enough cyanide leach from the diggings above to be dangerous to drink, the first pack horse in drank there and died, from there they would take one pack animal at a time to the cabin because there was only room to turn one animal around, the creek was the only place wide enough to pass two mules. The big spring coming up inside the cabin not only provided good water but also helped heat the cabin in cold weather, that's why they had the big puddle inside, cold water is warmer than - 30*. I remember a gas lantern with big bear tooth marks in it, a bear had got in and tore things up in the cabin, they thought by the puncture marks and other sign that it was a fair sized grizzly. A couple other interesting things, the big canyon in the middle is Slate Creek, there is a road in the bottom, and from the road looking up to the cabin it's so far away you could just barely see the cabin with your naked eye. The top of the hill on the far left is close to Katie Pass, one of the passes Dad and uncle Chuck took the dog teams over hauling freight to the Azurite mine. (Another story)

The second picture. That's your Grandfather and Uncle Floyd (my youngest brother), the small boy is a neighbor Harvey Cottner, who died from the affects of agent orange a few years after the Vietnam war. By the looks of the boys I'd guess the picture taken about 1957, by me.  Notice they are standing in the yard directly in front of the door. That's about the balance point that keeps the "eagles nest" from tipping off the mountain, the shop is under the left. If you remember the ground is steeper than it looks in the pictures. The spring drained out the other side. The only board floor was the part hanging out, the rest was dirt. Imagine building this, with the biggest tools being a cross cut saw and an ax, then getting supplies there, first building a trail, what an ordeal, all for the hopes of getting grub for another year. AH for the good old days.

THANK YOU! for filling in the details.  I remember the hike in there thinking  :o
It doesn't get much steeper than that. I can remember that poisionous creek as well.  It seems to me the moss or algae in it was a different color. I also seem to remember some huge iron pipes that were used for another operation in there and you telling me how they brought those in by mule.  It would basically kill the mule the load was so heavy.  Incredible country and Incredible men that "tamed" it.

Head up the Methow from Winthrop to Mazama, then to lost River, then towards  dead horse point, harts pass and slate peak.  Which I think is one of the highest spots in the state you can drive.  There is a lookout up there with an INCREDIBLE view of surrounding country and Pasayten.  The pacific Crest trailhead might be there, but it is an access into some unbelievable country.  Then you dive off the hill into the creek below.  If you ever want to take a sight seeing tour, there you go.  There are places like Last Chance, and Chancellor and other fun stuff.  The area is full of prospecting history.  Great place to catch a bear in play, an occasional goat or Dandy buck or see some incredible rock and flower arrangements. Gods handiwork at its finest.

Thanks BL, I think the trail would be very hard to find now, it was about 25 years ago that I was in there with Boneaddict, I doubt if we could have followed it then if I didn't know where it was. And I know there's at  least two chutes that were life threatening to cross then and the logs jammed in there would be completely deteriorated and gone now, probably you could climb up around them but it would be a long tough climb. It wasn't much more than a game trail in it's day.

I can't believe I am just seeing this post.  I love these old photos

Here's one that will get you dreaming!  I sent this pic to MM a long time ago.  These bucks were killed in WA by a Cashmere family.  The biggest has never been scored and the hunters son who has it won't let it be.  The picture used to hang in a bar in Cashmere for years and they let me make some copies.  I have seen the mount on this buck and it's incredible.  There is also a pic of this buck in an old book titled The Mule Deer.  I have it at home.

(https://hunting-washington.com/cpg/albums/userpics/10258/markloweolddays.jpg)

I have a bigger copy of this some where.  I'll have to dig it out and scan it.

The deer have gotten smaller in my life time, you very seldom see a big bodied muley anymore. I've noticed this for a long time, I'm sure your Grandpa would tell you the same. I don't know the reason, maybe not enough big ones survive year after year to keep the big body gene going. What do you guys think? :dunno:

Those are some amazing bucks Lowedog!!  That family obviously knew where the big ones where hiding.
Title: Re: Vintage Pics
Post by: Lowedog on August 27, 2008, 09:54:16 PM
Yeah it truly is an amazing buck.  The book I have "The Mule Deer" by Jim Bond was probably published around 1960.  It is a really cool book.  Some one who saw that pic on MM recognized it from the book and told me about it.  In the book it has a pretty young woman posing with it and it says it was a big 282 lber.  Nothing about the antlers.  There are a lot of cool old pics in the book and some interesting reading.  Talks about how the mule deer were almost wiped out on the Arizona strip and how hunters rehabilitated the land and brought them back.

There are some cool old pics at the DFW office in Wenatchee.  One of a buck that was 39" wide I believe.  A local taxidermist had that rack at one time.

Awesome. That last one really depicts what hunting has been all about for generations - one generation introducing the next to a great tradition of hunting and outdoors. It's cool to see that the experiences I had with my dad in the woods have been same experiences kids have been experiencing fo years and years. It really shows how timeless those kinds of moments are.

Found these Bone, just a fan of vintage hunting. I will post a bunch of old whitetail hunts. Its funny how they all used to strap the deer down on the front fenders. Also interesting to see how the women in camp dressed back then.

Hey Bone...I was just looking through this post and noticed this pic you posted...that's my dad on the left along with my uncles and grandfather.  They shot those deer on the peninsula near Belfair in the early 50's.

Huntnphool, Thank you for all the work you put into the thread. I loved it. These pics from Michigan I beleive are from before the Mackinaw bridge was built. I grew up in the U.P. and remember storys about how during deer season the ferries were packed with cars heading to the upper penninsula. Grandpa said it would sometimes take all day waiting to get on a ferrey.  The pics didn't come up? Anybody know how to put them on?

How do you put old pictures on here phool.  I have some but don;t know what to do to post them.

Post by: huntnphool on April 13, 2009, 10:49:34 AM
Are they digital or photographs? If digital post them as any other pic, if photographs you will either have to scan them into digital format or take a picture of each pic with your digital camera, as a lot of these have been. Scanning would be the best.

They are old photographs what do you mean by scanning.

Like jackalope pointed out you can view these same photos and more at:

http://www.viewsofthepast.com/topics/images.htm#

Pretty simple to copy and paste them onto the forums.

If you have old photos you need have, or find a friend with a digital scanner. Ditigally scan and copy the image. From there you will be able to edit, resize and post the image online. If you don't want to buy a scanner and don't want to bother your friends most photo shops at say a Fred Meyer can scan the photos for you and put them onto a cd disk or save them on a flash drive. As long as they're saved in a digital format you can post them online.

I grabbed these from another site.  I think they are awesome though and they are from Washington and Idaho for the most part I believe.

Head up the Methow from Winthrop to Mazama, then to lost River, then towards  dead horse point, harts pass and slate peak.  Which I think is one of the highest spots in the state you can drive.  There is a lookout up there with an INCREDIBLE view of surrounding country and Pasayten.  The pacific Crest trailhead might be there, but it is an access into some unbelievable country.  Then you dive off the hill into the creek below.  If you ever want to take a sight seeing tour, there you go.  There are places like Last Chance, and Chancellor and other fun stuff.  The area is full of prospecting history.  Great place to catch a bear in play, an occasional goat or Dandy buck or see some incredible rock and flower arrangements. Gods handiwork at its finest.

Yes the Pacific Crest trail is there, loaned our truck to my brother inlaw this fall. So when he and his daughter (Trail names, Balls and Sunshine) finished hiking The PCT all the way from Mexico to Canada in one year (youngest girl to do it at 11 years old) could drive out to our house instead of hitchhiking. He was gld he did, it was snowing when they got back to the truck, and no other people in site.

What I think is great is seeing these big muleys taken in big country with open sights..no binos or high dollar optics and rangefinder and huge magnums! Just think of what they coulda done with all of that equipment back then

Add to the fact that pretty much all these critters are hanging full body pack outs, no quartering and boning the meat in bags on a pole. Nothing but grissle and guts in these old timers :tup: :tup:

Hey KC, what year was that?  My dad used to hunt there as well.  The ole lady that owned the property used to shoot deer off her porch there.  Lots of rabbits used to be there also.  I'll see if my dad still has pics from there.

It's obvious! The switch from wearing work clothes while hunting  years ago to wearing camo has resulted in reducing the size of the game taken. Deer, elk and salmon that were harvested back in the day were all bigger when NOT wearing the camo clothing that is used today. Burn your expensive camo clothing and go back to wearing blue jeans and a red plaid jacket if you want to score big.
