Let's see what you looked like back in the day.

The fish got smaller, and I got bigger after this picture.

...and no, I wasn't holding it way out. See my elbows bent.

I understand that feelin'! Nice fish, better hair!

LOL...still have all the hair, but someone bleached it gray!

That picture will just not work.

Nice mess of walleye, and some great eating there.

Impressive Bruce! I'm guessing Pyramid? Hell of a fish.

A LOOONG time ago.

Here you go...

Not a hunting picture but an old trapping picture. I had some hair back then.

If you delete the ?1 at the end of your picture string it will work. The IMG code is looking for a string to end with .jpg

Fishing, Wabigoon Lake.

Granddaughter first buck

Nice.

Early 80's...

This is my Grandad and two of his best friends at camp in CO circa 1971. Grandad is the tall fellow on the left.

Boy Hanco that picture tugs on the heartstrings. As long as I live I wont forget my 3 yr old granddaughters first hunting trip. Me and mom had 4 or 5 blankets on her at 530 or so. Daylight at 630 or so. When the deer started moving before daylight Lily told us we needed to call a rescue truck because the deer.were stuck and needed help getting out of the woods.

My boys first pig.

These threads are great, keep it up.

One of our local hotels back in the day. People would stroke out over this nowadays.



My bride and her beagle Barney.

How are.you guys getting your pics displayed like that?

Too cool........

Sorry I know you said old but these are the oldest i have.

My buddies from Chamblee High School in Atlanta. Spring of 1968, we were senior football players. We were fishing at Unicoi State Park in north Georgia.
From the left, John Drake, Jeff Lemm, and Tim Albin. I took the picture.
They had just stocked the creek with rainbow trout and we racked up.
John had a football scholarship to Vanderbilt and he started for 2 years. He got an engineering degree and was a big exec with the railroad.
Tim had an appointment to the Air Force Academy. He graduated and flew F4s and went on to fly for Eastern.

Great pics!

My grandpa in the early 20s Wyoming.





A friend of my grandpas

Here I am in Quetico Park, Ontario, with a smallmouth in 1985. Some great fishing in the lakes of Canada.

That's my Granddad in the middle.

Don't have many outdoors pictures from childhood but a couple from 5yo to 16yo, we fished creeks and rivers mostly, hunted doves and quail.

Wife packing the new daughter fishing, then daughter with her first fish.

More recent, my Grandson.

Owen's first bird on the wing. He used my late dad's circa 1957 Superposed 20 ga. (Spoiled Grandson)

These threads are great.

Not as old as some, but man wish I was that young again.

Great idea for a thread

Sunnyside?

Biggest hog I've ever shot.



Not my biggest deer, but the lighting was good.

Yeah, that's me holding the rifle......late 1960's

Not so old, end result.

1979 wag wag, I are a mounting man! Wag!!!

OMG could you imagine all the PETA people Rachel Madcow would interview over this???

Also, love the photo of that beautiful girl you paid to pose as your wife!

They used to hand deer in front of Jakie Petmecky’s shop in the 400 block of Congress Ave in Austin too! LOL!

Great Thread luv2safari, ttt for more.

Thanks for posting the pics guys. I have really enjoyed these.

Badger, any idea as to what that hog weighed?

Cane pole or did they have reels back then, Wabi?

Great to have a lake named after you, Wabi. When did you discover it?

Sausage time.

Great pics, Hunt. I finally wore out my down jacket like that.

Steel rods, Shakespeare reels, 50 pound braided line, green. Little Joe spinners, minnows, dog eared sinkers, six fish limit.

Good fishing. Good eating. My grandmother must have cooked on a Perfection kerosene range. At times we ate fish for breakfast, and they sometimes made fish gravy.

My grandparents drove a 47 jeep woody wagon. Good times, better memories

Man, what great pics.

Great pic, scenar. What rifle, scope and Cal, please? Maybe distance of shot and where hit and how far did it run.

This is a great thread, gold star.

Great pics, KW.

Maybe creek fish? I wonder what state?

We need a picture of hundreds of dead wolves.

Pyramid lake about 1977. I caught it with a 1/4 oz black crappie jig and a Cast-A-Bubble from shore at Sutcliff. I was using my Alcedo Micron rod and a Langley Spinlite Deluxe and 4 lb test line. It took over an hour to land and went almost 18 pounds.

Utah, somewhere near St. George.

You Betcha!!!

Heck of a big spike there, RR.

Lost my old TreeBark GoreTex jacket to a dimocrap stealing ice chests from the bed of a truck..
