Mom sent me a zip lock filled with old photos. Found these absolute gems among them.
Dad shot this old bruiser in 1967 in the San Gabriel mountains, less than an hour from our house in Los Angeles. Shot him through the eye with his trusty 22, a Marlin Glenfield Model 60. Note the 18 round magazine and magazine tube band place way out near the end of the barrel. First gun I ever shot!

We kids devoured that meat like it was chocolate pudding!
My grandfather worked at Los Alamos labs in New Mexico when dad was a child, so my dad was raised hunting those high desert hills. I think he was a bit out of his element in Los Angeles, so he spent a lot of time hunting the San Gabriel and San Bernardino mountains.
