Instead if starting a new thread I thought Id bump this one and share a few more.

Maybe Jani Will join in, Id love to see some of your photos from the old Balkins.

What in the world is creepy about photos that depict part of the way life was, early in the last century?

I hope others with the ability to scan old photos will do so and post them. I find much to study in them.

Seem to be a lot of Savage lever guns featured in those pics Gary!

Studying these photos reveals two things for certain, the first being that smiling was not vogue for picture taking in those days and some very nice deer, particularly mulies were taken back then.

I think he might have been camping in that hollow log; hence the bitter expression...Geo

yeh lot of 99s and how about the Remington model 8. I see one every once in a while and wonder if they cycle reliably?

Grizzled...

There was a man who lived in the Savannah River swamp, near here, in the 1930s named Titus Capus who lived in the butt end of a huge cypress log. I remember seeing the log many times as a child. He hunted, fished and trapped and brought his bags out to my grandaddy's store to sell for him.

I often wondered how he could bear the mosquitoes and yellow flies in that open log.

Great pictures all.
