Cool pics. They sure did dress a bit nicer than I do for a hunt. :dunno:
:yeah:
I noticed that too. I wonder if they actually were hunting in a tie?
maybe it was Sunday and they went out before church. :chuckle:
these old pictures are great,awesome thread.

That's a ton of money back then... and the wolf had plenty of wild game but chose livestock...
hmmmm think we should learn from the past?

Seems like all or most all of the antique photos you see the animals are hanging on the cars.

anybody know....was there some significance to putting the dead stuff on the cars?

I asked my dad that one time when I saw some photos like these. Two reasons... All they had was the one family car and no trucks back then.. Few had a truck anyway. So it was easiest to keep the critters/blood out of the interior by strapping them to the hood/fenders. Besides, they had to have somewhere to sit. Up until the 50's, cars were not all that roomy. My dad was born in 31 and didn't get his first truck until 62. Unless you lived on a hobbie farm, or at least rural, people didn't have trucks. 'Trunks' of cars were left for mama's luggage.
The other reason: One that's frowned upon today. Hunters would show off their bounty when they drove back home/through town.

Looking at these makes me wonder. Is it my heritage to be able to shoot wolves and multiple deer? I may have to contact the ACLU to see if I can get my Caucasian rights restored. :chuckle: But first I have to finish up my reparations lawsuit for my Irish ancestors being slaves. :sry: :stirthepot:
Man, I am in an ornery mood today. Great photos guys keep 'em coming.
