When Men were Men

[appaloosa]

This might be the coolest photo I have of my dad. Hauling out an entire elk, whole on the back of his horse, covered in denim while pounding an Oly in one hand as he smiles for a picture.
I love seeing these old pictures, no trophies, no poses, no product placements, no click bait, just genuine and authentic. Let's see yours.

30-30 iron sights UL Ram 1959. I can only imagine the things a person could learn. Like how not to be a complete pussy. Do it for the adventure not the following.

Pappy Jonas?

Pappy Jonas?

Unfortunately I'm not cut from that cloth. I get hurt and sick to much.

My family has hunted with them though for many years in the backcountry. I'll have to try and find some old photos.

I'm thinking that horse is bad ass for certain.

I got a bull just before dark one night while hunting solo. Fortunately, my friend showed up at camp later that night. The next day, we decided to pack the meat out in one trip since it was all down hill. With that weight, the frame on the Dwight Schuh hunting pack I lent my friend bent into a U shape and we had to add some reinforcement to it.

There's another photo somewhere with 3 rams and they killed a 6pt bull on the way out..... probably 20 miles on horse back in there.

Dad with a big blacktail he killed with the only rifle he had for many years. His old model 94, 30-30 Winchester. Oregon in the 1950's.

And it’s a horse not a f@ckin llama!

I posted this photo on the “Deer - let’s see em” thread, but it fits here, too.

This is my Dad’s West Virginia buck from the early 50s. He is in the front center in the bottom photo. My grandfather was in both photos.

I love these old photos. Wish I had some of my own.

Is he petting a big ass capybara or something?? Nice buck!

The good old days! No camo, high magnification scopes, 1000 yard rifles with ELD super bullets just pure grit and determination of the greatest generation.

Man we could all learn a lot from them.

Back in the day, we would have laughed at the idea of boning out an elk.

He was a legend. Back then, the horses were Men too.

Just shoot me now.

Just shoot me now.

No shit. I can feel my vertebrae compressing just looking at that photo.

My father in the Yellow Mules near Big Sky just before he went into WWII…

My great uncles, great grandfather, uncles, grandmother and my dad on the far right. My dad looks about 10 which would make it 1937.
