My family hunting and fishing pics from yesteryear...

[Kody94]

Any pictures of lakes nearby the moose hunting spots?

LOL. No-one could find most of these spots now anyway...they're either covered in a grid of oil & gas leases or logged. Most of the pics so far are from the famous Del Rio, back in its heyday. They'd winch in for a day or two, just to get less than 10 km from the ranch. There may not have been road closures, but there weren't any roads either! lol

In the 1976 pics (the ones that have a reddish tinge to them) there were 12 guys from the LML (my Pa included) in camp, and they took 11 moose. My Dad and his partners would drive up for a weekend and bring back two moose with no problem.

He's got some pics from the late '60s and early '70s where they made the trip up north in a car! Loaded the moose on the roof! I am hoping he can dig those ones up...they're not as well organized and I haven't seen them in a while.

Great thread......"classic" to be more accurate. Continues to stir memories for u and family/ friends I'm sure.
Wished my old man and extended family had taken more photos back in the early days of their cabin/ house at Cadomin. Priceless!

OK...sorry to take so long getting back to this. Got tied up over the weekend and never got any scanning done. I'll try to put some more up every couple days, as long as folks seem interested anyway.

Here are some pics from a 1980 moose hunt. We had just moved up to Chetwynd, so Dad wouldn't have to drive up there a few times each fall. lol

Getting off the beaten path, with the old faithful GMC.


Dad got his best moose ever on this trip...


Here's my Dad's best bud at the time, who was the guy responsible for most of these pics and the great albums.


There was no such thing as "the gutless method" or "boning out" for my Pa and his crew. They like round steaks and t-bones with the bone in, and did whatever it took to get the quarters out whole. Note the saw...they got more sophisticated as the years went by. lol

what a good old picture . thank you for sharing

These are truly a treasure Kody94. Thank you for sharing them. Great old pic's. Can't get enough of them. Wonder how they killed all those animals without camo.

Those last couple of shots with the plywood box in them reminds me of the ones my father inlaw (really good carpenter/woodworker) still makes. He has about 5 or 6 like those that he takes hunting with him to pack alot of the camp stuff in. When they are unpacked they make great bed side tables in the wall tent, coffe table etc. or as in your pictures a great stool to get up higher for certain chores.

Please keep them coming. This is a great thread.

Thanks.
