Ever notice how skinny most of the guys were back then?
Ditto on before Gore-tex, ripstop nylon tents, etc.
Hope that guy in the second photo isn't posing in a bear cave and had a bruin behind him!

In responce to LBK...Did you see the fellow with the sheep on his shoulders ( 5th down)? Look! He has put a sling and a scope on his rifle! I just can't imagine him "bubbaing" a collectable.

No, I didn't miss it. TOOL It would be looked down upon by most today, but look at the life it lived then.

In thosse days, guys spent most of their time outside their pickup trucks. The hunters around here these days would probably give it up if you told them they had to actually walk. Good pics! Love them. No plastic guns.
