    'Historical' BC Hunting Photos

    Title says it all. Post any old photos of any animal that was taken in BC. The earlier the better! I have seen some absolute monsters taken here in the 80s and earlier and would love to see what some of you or your relatives have taken in this province. Lets see what you got!

    I really wish (and I have looked all over the net for this one) I could find that old photo (like late 1800's early 1900's) of
    that Grizzly that was taken, where the bear is sitting up against a tree, on it's ass, and there is a logger/hunter standing
    in front of it, right between the legs, and the guy dosent even reach the top of his head to the bears chest!.
    (sure, he may have only been 5 ft tall), but impressive Pic!
    Think it was a bear taken within 100 miles of Vancouver (pemberton?).
    The photo uses to sit on the wall of some outdoor shop here in Vancouver, but cant remember the shops name.
    (think you had to walk downstairs, like one of the old "pie cut buildings" you see in Gastown)
    Just remember it as a young kid, and always wanted a photo of that.

    Good thread, but may have already had one in the past?

    Not to hi-jack, but there's a good thread on this topic at Canadiangunnutz.

    I believe it's called "Nostalgic Hunting Pictures"
