My family hunting and fishing pics from yesteryear...

[Kody94]

This thread is for Hunter1947, and anyone else that enjoys looking at (random) old hunting pics. I have been able to borrow some of the old man's photo albums and started scanning them. I thought I'd share some of them here for anyone interested.

Wayne...my Pa was also born in 1947, so the vintage of the shots will probably be very familiar to you!

Here's a few to get started, and I'll post more over the next couple weeks as I get them all scanned.

This is a 1978 pic...same K5 Blazer as the green one below, but it was painted sometime between '76 and '78.


1976 Moose


Same trip, with a moose in the back of my Dad's Jeep...


When they arrived home (Langley)...note the racks on the front of the truck and Jeep!


A pic from 1977...the rifle is a brand new Rem 700 BDL in 8mm Rem Mag. Freshly purchased from Corlanes Sporting Goods in Dawson Creek. The truck is practically brand new too...a 1977 GMC Sierra Classic...my Dad kept that truck until 2007 and it looked like new for most of its life!

A 1979 moose, and my Pa with his '77 GMC. His 8mm Rem Mag is now sporting a fancy Redfield Widefield 3-9x scope. The canopy on the truck was home-made...and heavier than hell.


My Pa with his elk, taken on the Muskwa in 1979.


Another 1979 moose, from the Chilcotin. My Pa packing out a quarter...


A 2-pt muley from the Chilcotin in 1979. It was the first big game hunting trip I ever went on...

Here's a pic of my brother and I in the family Argo...circa '81 or '82. We were fishing in Moberly Lake...

Kody 94, Awesome pics man, I like how your dad put the chains on the front wheels of the CJ. Done right.. I also had that same 77 chev truck in that same colour. Mine was a short box, go figure..Oh ya, any luck fishing Moberly Lake?..

Here are some more pics from 1977...

My Dad's hunting partner put together most of the photo albums after their hunts, and liked to start off with a picture of the regs from that year...the mud on this one is foreshadowing...


Here's my Dad's new truck and his Jeep in tow, ready to hit the highway to the Peace Country. This is in Langley, where we lived until 1980.


They (three of them) drove all day, and all night. Got stuck and slept in the canopy until morning...here's them getting the Jeep unhooked and unstuck in the AM...


This is after getting out....my Dad calls this picture, "Breakfast for 3"...love those old stubbies.

Still further to go before setting up camp...
