Digging through some old photos the other day I came across this one of my paternal grandmother holding her 250 Savage and my mother with Dad's 25-35 Winchester. This would have been their total deer harvest in 1938. Granddad's Model 14 .30 Remington is leaning against the post behind my grandmother. I am guessing the ladies insisted in going to the house to change clothes before they allowed the picture to be taken. Still...don't see many deer hunters wearing dresses today. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/ZVa2ubv.jpg)

I'd have that framed on the mantle piece, Joe.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

Great picture! Nice to share the family history.
My Dad and I hunted the Black Hills a few times back in the '60s.
