Deer Camp 1899

Looks like they are over the 3 buck limit.

Awesome photo

I don't know how they got it done without PowerMaxx ammo..........

That you on the left Loco?

O

I bet they where using there Ozonics

That was a good day.

QDMA policies only loosely adhered to....

Spike in the front middle and a couple of does. Probably another hunter in the group gave someone hell for shooting baby deer and not being a real hunter.


Hard to read it, but does that say "Kimble County Tex" at the bottom?

Cool pic but they gots lot of work to do

1899 camp fire smoke greater than Ozonics........

Love them old deer camp photos

Guy on the right shoots a .243.

Where do I sign up to go to one of these deer camps? Just kidding but, I bet those dudes had a ton of fun and the big antlered bucks were a bonus to them. Amazing they killed deer without all the modern conveniences we have.

Its a different place in time fer shol.

Killed 2 good ones! And 7 food ones

That feller on the left is BhamFred.

Very interesting. Them boys look tough. A different kind of living back then. The life expectancy of a man born in 1900 was 47.

No way them buck deers got that big, without being on a supplemental feeding program

I can make the case against feeding them, look at the ribs on this at the corn feeder. I don’t hunt feeders but I do take pics at them. This is my friend’s feeder.

Realtree or mossyoak camo?

Why is he holding a bottle over the fire? Also, the rifle leaning against the tent pole at first glance I thought was an 1894 but looks like the forearm may extend to end of barrel?

I was going to guess Bham Fred and Perch but saw the spike in the middle so I know one of them has to be quailman.

Look again. They killed at least 11.

that's the way deer hunting ought to be,reckon they said "this is our harvest", or "look what we KILLED" !!!!!!

Probably shot them with an outdated and underwhelming 30-30 caliber rifle.

Great book. Read it many years ago& still have it somewhere.....

Not a bottle..skillet.

I can see it being a skillet with something in it now that you say that. My poor eyesight. Now tell me what that is that looks like a hound lying beside the tent?
Looks like a hoedad below the saddle also?

Looks like they didn't care too much about horns or meat.

Thus we have game laws that brought the population back to huntable levels that we have now.

I lol’d at that too

I’m just guessing but I bet they saved the horns to sale, ate the meat and sold the hides. It’s a awesome picture for sure!

deer camp 1,000,000 BC??

Deer camp after no shave November

How did they keep the meat from spoiling back then if not cold weather?

Salt and smokehouses.

1899, was that before calds existed

That’s a damn fine 8 point on the front left, had to be Clorox stumped and korn fed.

You think any of them used a 6.5 creedmore

When I look at pics from that time period, my thoughts wander to the the snowflake climate we are in now. I then chuckle about that scene in Lonesome Dove when Guss slams the bartender’s face into the bar and says he ain’t taking no guff off a bartender. Buckhorn saloon it was, I think I’ll go there tomorrow for a drink.

I wonder what the preferred method of hunting was for them. Drives? Dogs? Horseback? Climb a tree?

All of the above. Along with jack lighting. From what I have read it was primarily man drives in the mornings and stalk/still hunting in the afternoon.

Very interesting. I figure they used whatever method gave them the highest chance of success, being that their families probably really depended on their success. It would cause a man to think differently if he were hunting to survive.
