There are other photos that seem staged. Like the one of the two fellows with the whitetail hung. Guy on the left has a lever gun in hand and a shotgun belt around the waist.
If you want to see historical hunting photos of BC, visit the website of the Provincial Archives, photos. Search the "Hunting" section. I haven't been there for quite a while and they are constantly changing the website so you will most likely have to search diligently to find what you seek.
Just a FYI
There's a NT Whitetail listed in the BC Record book that was shot back in 1905 , few more from 1920+30's they be here longer than what you think .
Seen a few pictures from the Rock Creek - Kettle River region of Whitetails shot back in the 20's + 30's .

People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero - 55 BC
