I was sent these in a group of old photos, thought they'd be of interest to hunters.
"They were found by a Metis near Baptiste Lake in 1910 and were reared by bottle and
broken to drive by Mr. Day at Athabasca Landing during the winter of 1910. Mr. Day and the moose team hauled mail and supplies.

First, the size of that log. I dare anyone to find a log that you could climb into and sleep in. Second, the gun propped up on the log... Lever action 12ga or 45-70? Pretty beefy for a standard 30-30.
If you like this kind of stuff you owe it to yourself to get Legendary Deerslayers & Legendary Deer Camps by Robert Wegner. Great books loaded with classic stories and pictures from the old days.
I ran across this tree a few years ago in Greene county. There is another one just as big or bigger not far from this one that I found last year.
These trees have limbs that are as big as full sized trees coming off of them! Is this a Chestnut Oak?
Just as reference I'm 5'11'' and 225 lbs.

Used to date a girl that had a picture of her grandfather and his brother when they very young men. They are posing with a large bull elk they had harvested, one man had a Remington 81 and the other had a broom handle Mauser. I believe the picture was taken in NM I always thought it was cool, she had it in a frame above her fire place.
I guess it's the camera angle that makes the turkey hunter seem so small but, I keep looking at that pic and thinking that you don't see an eight year old with that much facial hair very often.
