He says, "we used to hook a cable between two trucks, drive throught the fields, shooting from the back of the trucks. Get a limit , take em home and go for more." Then he says," you just dont see birds like that any more" Gee, I wonder why? The other thing my searching for old hunting photos has made me wonder. When did we as men stop wearing great hats? AKA garyg, depending on how confused and which computer Im on.

Most photographers of the 1870-90's era had costumes and sets ready for the purpose. I have a c 1877 photo of my kinsman wearing a buckskin suit! Some of the posed shots also suggest that - the sitter above with the dog is not even holding his gun (he looks scared of it!), but has a hand on the dog. K.

He suggested that men always wore hats and had to hold their heads high to see down the barrels. Thanks seems to be upheld in the pics of Americans. Interesting.

Opacak Those are some wonderful old pictures, but every time I look at some of the old sporting art I can't help but notice the poor muzzle control..... many of those shotgunners of old had pictures taken with the muzzles pointing at their heads while others like the guy on the second last picture front row on the grass with the old double shoved in his buddy's stomach. I wonder how many of those guns were actually loaded! CJ Don't worry about it. It was all a long time ago. npm
