I could only guess that he was at least 3, but everyone said he was over 200 lbs. But we said that about a lot of deer until I bought some scales. smile

There were probably 50 people on that drive and we killed 2. The guy who killed a deer got the head, the hide, and the left hind quarter. Everyone else could get a small piece of meat. The picture was made after we got home with the head and hide.


My dad would talk about dog hunting in the 50s thru the mid sixties where they wouldn’t even jump a deer some days. And the meat would be divided out similar to this when they did kill one. By the time I started hunting (still with dogs) in the mid 70’s so many were being killed , everyone got all they wanted. By the time i stopped dog hunting for the most part in the late 80’s, you couldn’t hardly give the meat away even if it was already dressed and cut up.



Good description of the way it happened. It became too easy; was a lot more fun when it was difficult to kill one.


All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
