A great Christmas present - 01/13/19
My Granddad shot a buck in 1947 and the rack hung in the family deer camp in Northern Wisconsin for decades. I always admired it and when the camp was sold my Dad's oldest brother took possession. Over the years I had seen it at his farm house hanging in the mud room. He passed away a year and a half ago, but I have not thought about that rack since.
My wife picked up Aunt Elle from her place and brought her to our place for Christmas dinner and she gave me the buck rack with a ribbon on it. She reminded me that I was the last living person to hunt out of the old deer camp. Got it hanging in my shop now.
1946 deer camp gang first time they were together since World War II. My Granddad is second from left holding a Savage 99.
