Your Earliest Hunting Pics

NVPete · Feb 7, 2020

I was looking through my archived photos and found the earliest one I could find of my Dad and uncle with their deer in 1949 in Cedar City, Utah. (I'm 73, so I was about 3 yrs. old, and can faintly remember that family car!) And for some hunters, I think it was common to lash deer on to the fenders when "bringing home the bacon!"

Let's see some others!

I'll have to dig around...got a pic of both my great grandfathers and their bucks prior to WWI...

Hey Pete?

I See a couple Issues with the Pic!

I Don't see any 14.5 X 50 X 50 Scopes with Turrets on the Guns!

I Don't see any High Dollar Niller/Loin Cloth Camo!

The Doe Looks to be 3 Times Bigger in Body Size than any Does You see now Days!

And if You Stacked that Much Weight on the Modern Day Car You'd Have Some Serious Damage!

All of my hunting pics are old pics. Guys these digital days are spoiled; we used to have to be committed to get a field photo. I like this thread, I will look around when I get some time.

I don't have any old Daguerreotype prints like Eel probably does, but here's one of my earliest.

LOL Elky! Sure ain't what it used to be "back in the day!"

I'll even share another! A little further on- my family - Dad, wife, three kids moved to Yerington, Nevada where Anaconda was opening a new copper mine (1952). In this one, the truck is a 1937 Chevy (I definitely remember riding in the back of it to get to deer camp- Dad still had it in 1958- I can remember piling out of the back of it to kill my first buck when I was 12 years old!)

Is it possible for you to just keep scrolling without adding your negativity to a post to try and look funny or be noticed? Or is it just something you have to do every chance you get?

we get it. You don’t like the way hunting currently is in Utah, from the management to the equipment and tactics being used. Most of us don’t like it. But it doesn’t need to be mentioned on every damn post you can find.

elkassassin · Feb 9, 2020

If You Can't Take a Joke Maybe You Can Take a F'N Hike!

Me & Pete Are Friends!

It’s not just Pete you do it with. You do it with EVERYONE, on any topic. Honestly it’s you that sounds like that needs to take that hike. You are a broken record. We get it. You hate a lot of what goes on in Utah. Most guys do. But they don’t spew it every chance they get over dumb topics. “Cool pic, thanks for sharing” was all that needed to be said.

elkassassin · Feb 9, 2020

Kinda Funny Pete isn't BAWLING like a Little Girl!

Un-Like You!

If You're gonna Hunt & be in the Woods!

You're gonna have to COWBOY-UP Cupcake!

Eel That Whitetail is a toad! What do think he would score?
Bess it looks like there was pisscutters back in the olden days too.

elkassassin · Feb 9, 2020

This is Nevada Pete. I could tell right away when I joined this forum I would like elky. Nothing wrong with sayin' what's on you mind. I'm the kind of guy that it takes a lot to insult or offend. To be offended is a CHOICE, just like a lot of things in life. The way I see it, if you are OFFENDED by comments made here, it is your CHOICE. You can also choose not to respond at all, or not even be part of/participate in the forum.

elkassassin · Feb 10, 2020

Howdy Pete!

My first Reply was a Comparison from the Old Days to Now Days!

Nothin More!

And Nothin Less!

And I Know You know that!

No Offense to You at all in any way!

But Some Can't see it I Guess?

I Thought All Hunters were Tougher than the BS Dirt_Road_Warrior is Boasting!

When I Said I see a couple Things WRONG with the Pic,I Wasn't taking offense to Pete in any way!

Them Days were way Better back then than the BS that goes on with Hunting of today!

Never said I was offended. I’m not offended in any way. Im tired of reading the same bitching on everything you post. You’re like a nagging house wife that’s never happy. We get it! You’re mad. Move on. That’s all

elkassassin · Feb 10, 2020

So?

You're Happy with the Way the Deer Herd is Managed & The Current Condition it's in?

Be Happy I Guess & Hunt Your PISSCUTTER!

Oh The Opportunity!

Didn’t say that. You’ve said enough for every Utah member on here, and then some!

lighten up dude. Try being positive in all your posts for the next 2 weeks. I’m certain you can’t do it

This reminds me of that time in high school when the new kid in town was trying to make a name for himself and didn't realize how he was actually coming off to everyone around him. I love Elk's humor and would hate if he stopped coming around. It was a good thread until the new guy got his undies in a bundle. Elk and his humor are here to stay, so you best get used to it because we'd rather read his comments than listen to you complain about his comments.
