Lets see those old hunting and fishing pics from years gone by
I was looking for a picture tonight and ran across a few
This is my grandfather and an uncle
My dad and my grandfather on a lake somewhere in TN
My dad in Ohio round the early 70's I think
Dad in TN round 70'S
This is me in my early catfish days
Miss these days here of going to deer camp with dad and putting up deerstands

Grandfather he shot this deer on wrong side of hwy in TN. Weren't allowed to hunt on that side way back then. He bragged too much and the game warden got him and deer
TN or Ohio
This was a rabbit hunt dad I did without dogs in 80's

How old? I might have a few from way back, but that old Brownie camera wasn`t used much.
70's and back Nic, I just got in the mood last night. Dad ain't been able to hunt with me in 6+yrs and never hunted with gramps. He died and outdoorsmans death. He was found at the base of an old oak tree with squirrels on his side and shotgun in his lap. He passed doing what he loved.

Quiet dignity. I would hope that I go in that same manner.

My grandpa on far left and two unidentified friends of his from the late 50's early 60's..getting it done on some mountain deer.I think this was near ranger camp above above Dahlonega.
Grandpa in the middle with his brother on his left side and one of his best friends to his right.These catfish came out of the etowah river in cherokee county way back when.
Fantastic stuff here. My grandfather must have caught enough fish to feed the state o GA. Unfortunately I dont have a single one to share. So, thanks to the rest of you for showing yours. Helps bring back memories.

Alabama/Auburn game night seven pointer. Know how you say "Yes Babe I'll be to your uncles house right on time because I probably won't see anything anyway."
I got distracted but butchered it at his house and everyone at the party went home with venison.
And if you are wondering, most of my deer pic's the deer is missing alot of hide. That is from dragging down or up mountains, or it dragging me down the mountain.
I really love old pics like are in this thread. Nice pics everybody. Here is one from way back. All are my great Aunts and Uncles in Maryland. Wouldnt think by looking at this pic, but there is a professional singer and professional boxer in there somewhere.
Top pic is the buck that was fourth in line on a Thanksgiving morning. I had already taken the monarch out and he had been pushed from another area and was using the inferior bucks as points.
Second pic is my Bro. He flinches bad with an 06' and hit this deer one evening and we couldn't find a trail to track. I scrapped my plans for the next morning and went in to his area to hunt and make sure the buck wasn't still moving around or maybe find him. We get 50 yards from the truck and I put the lay down on this deer. Sure enough. Same buck he shot. It was his deer though because it was mortally wounded and I finished off. No problem. That's why I was there to begin with.
Then a dude in the club comes up when we are dragging it out, because he heard the shot and he was a road hunter, and says "THat's my Boone & Crokette I've been hunting all year long!" You need to give that deer to me........nother story. I'm tryin' to post pic's.
Third pic is the nine pointer I shot half way up the mountain and couldn't even pull it down the mountain because my back was in such bad shape. Him and me met eye to eye about 15' apart.

Man on far right Model 99 Savage, probably 250-3000 Sweeeeeet.

This would have been about 1982. My grandfather and my dad had been catching Gator Trout just outside of New Smyrna beach.
I remember it like it was yesterday. I was in the pool at the condo and they pulled up and said, "Come here and hold this fish! He's as long as you are."
Heres a short video I did a while back. The man goes from 5 to 74 in it...

Not real sure if this qualifies, but it is over 20 years old. This was a buck I took back in 92' down in Taylor county. My daughter (now31) is now a mother herself with my 8 year old granddaughter, and my son is 30...man how time flies!

Best thread ever. Awesome pics guys, reminds me of being in the Bass Pro Shop. They'd probably sell more if they took all the cool old pics down, I walk around and look at them more than shop.
