Thank you very much for sharing all of those with us. Great pics and I second PatB's idea about a "TradGang Photo Album, The Classics".

Fellas this is the best thread of all time, I am really enjoying these old pics.
Warren I am sure friends still give you a hard time about that deer, if you spend any time at all around my dad he will tell the story about my big hog. I shot a pig that I could almost put in the cargo pocket on my hunting pants, he looked bigger in the brush, my dad still has a good time giving me a hard time about it, I didn't get any pictures, thank goodness, or my dad would have framed it I bet. Thanks for the great pics, Chris.

Wow! Keep them coming guys! I haven't been doing this long enough to have any vintage pics like those, someday though... Got some cool old gun huhnting pics but not bow.
Warren, I realize the deer down south are not as big as those up north but was that a yearling? Guess practicing on small game really does help on deer.
Just kidding. I'm guessing you have lots more where that one came from, get them puppies scanned and posted. You too Charlie.
Where's Van on this one?

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark. Posts: 3245 | From: Kansas City MO | Registered: Apr 2003

"Braing us some more of them there fotygrafs"
LostHawg,
They look more like fifty, sixty and maybe in a case or two seventygrafs!!
Old Duffers,
If when we were younger we would have taken a little better care of our bodies instead of thinking we were indestructable, we would be a younger old duffer, today! If you know what I mean!
I'm sitting at the keyboard the fifth day after having arthroscopic surgery on my right knee. Right now I feel real old!!! My knee is doing the best it has since surgery, but it is still worse than before the surgery!!! The surgeon removed a bone chip from the joint that is about 3/8" L x 5/16" W x 1/4" H. I'm not sure where it broke off from, but may find out when I go back for my post-op visit tomorrow and see at least portions of the video of the operation.
I can verify that getting old is not for sissies!!

Next is total knee replacement, I've got two of them. Had to go through airport security this morning, I thought they'd never quit waving that wand over me.
Here's a picture from deer camp 1959, the first year my wife and I hunted together. We stayed in that 9x9 umbrella tent for two weeks and drank out of a clear stream nearby. You can't drink outa those streams anymore.
I had a blind by a wild apple tree and two coons came in to get apples. They ended up in our cook pot. Notice the bare broadheads in the National bow quiver. Those are old Goshawk broadheads.
My face is darkened with burnt cork. Any of you remember that?

These are awesome guys! I love looking at these. Ron, I was two when you shot that fox!!! My grandfather left behind scores of photos of his life and the city and state we grew up in, they are among my favorite photographs. It's just so neat to look at them, these remind me so much of those.
Thanks guys, keep 'em coming.
