Raven,

I agree, Iron Bull's portrait is fantastic, and in the Hall of Justus in DC. Unbelievable!

My form has gotten a little better. Lowered the anchor point some, and no longer wear Buster Brown shoes. Probably not many here that remember that foot gear!

Raven,..he's got more,..he just needs a little coaxing.

70 years qualifies you for the young side of old, so don't feel bad. Besides our buddy Greg says you did a great job cooking that venison loin a couple of nights ago (rare and without flour), so I guess you still can learn some new tricks.

Ray, I was cookin venison that way before you waz weaned.

Very neat painting Vance, you look like the real McCoy.

Here's a print from an original oil done by Marian Anderson in 1995 for the Naitional Wild Turkey Federation. The title of it is "Longhunter" It hangs on "The Wall Of Fame" in my mothers house.

Marian was contracted by the NWTF to do a Mountainman series. Each painting had to have a turkey in it. She did one a year for seven years. I met Marian at a Sports show and when she found out that I had a real birchbark canoe and all the other geegaws needed, that was all it took. :D

Thanks Ron!

That painting should do the trick.

I just love looking at and reading about Mt. Men and buckskinning. I'am just finshing up the "Frontiersmen" by Allan W. Eckert for the 100th time. :rolleyes:

Having a hard time keeping with the Archery Theme with many of my photos, I don't want to get this locked down it's way to cool. I'll keep looking.

Ron.... at 70 that means you got 20 more hunting seasons for ya even start thinking of slowing down, sides that's ONLY a NUMBER

Raven · « **Reply #526 on:** February 27, 2006, 05:16:00 PM »

Age is a state of mind. The only challenge is remembering what State you're in!!

Wow, this is a big thread. Guess I'll put my 2 cents in....

I'm not an "Old Duffer" but I feel like it sometimes! Here is a pic of me demonstrating Ohio buck big enough to ride!

And another I found in Dad's old photos. Kind of neat....who is the svelte, good looking guy with the bear? I believe that's Mr. Wensel in a former day. The guy leaning against the tree looks pretty Dwarfy to me...only change in Paul is that he has lots less hair nowadays.

Here's a picture from early 1980's on the Moose John River. Dad is on the right, Jim Emerson in the middle, and I think that's Dick Robertson looking through the glasses. Dad and Jim floated the river with Jay Massey, Doug Borland, and Dick Robertson. Dad said it was a great time.

Great pics Ryan!!

Here's one of Vance "Iron Bull" Brewer a long time ago... pre gray. :D

He took this nice western Wyoming buck by stalking.

Charlie Lamb · « **Reply #536 on:** February 28, 2006, 08:33:00 AM »

When you're elk hunting, it's a requisite to smack a grouse whenever you run across one. This one is a ruff... tough target by any standards.

Charlie Lamb · « **Reply #537 on:** February 28, 2006, 08:38:00 AM »

I may have put this one up already. I'll wade through the pages and check later.

Around 1978 I broke my freakin neck in an auto accident (temporarilly paralized me on my entire left side) This is the first hunt I made after the accident.
No bear, but good times with good friends in northern Minnesota.

I'm the one in the felt hat and soft brace/collar.

Raven · « **Reply #538 on:** February 28, 2006, 02:21:00 PM »

Ryan, nice pic's!

I bet Roger has some cool old photos. I know Jim did. I use to look at them every fall/winter. Matter of fact, I just went thru them all a few weeks ago.

Roger and Jim sure did alot of hunting togeather.

Charlie, you are lucky to be here. Glad you are
