Big "Jacks",...shot one 13 lbs couple of years ago here not too far from home.
There is a gang of Hungarians that have a hunt club here that chase those things in snow shoes when the weather turns bitter. I was invited to go along a couple of times,...they shoot 4 or 5 every time they're out and they look just like that in the pictures, slings and all!.... only difference is they're wearing orange

Great photos.
I'm sure some were staged maybe even with market hunters kills.

Nice to see somebody besides me collects old hunting and shooting photos. I've been picking them up for years.

I think that lady has a crane, not a condor. I've got one of a rough looking old gal holding up a buzzard and a jack rabbit, one of my favorites.

I have many more but most have the savage 1899/99 as subject matter, a few of my fav..










But they are a little off topic here.

I think that's what the old gal with the buzzard is holding oddly enough. I'll have to look when I get home.

A Savage 99 in .22 Hi Power is a great buzzard gun. At over 100 yards and a stiffly constructed bullet, there is almost no damage to the tasty meat. Nothing worse than a buzzard with a lot of meat destroyed by a high velocity lightly constructed bullet. I can carry thirty or forty .22 Hi Power rounds in the front pocket of my jeans. Never can tell when you are going to run into a real buzzard convention.

This is my Granddad Walter Bishop on the right, in 1929 near Conroe,Texas with his first Deer. He was using a borrowed 16 ga Browning Auto

Amazing. No one is wearing RealTree camo.

I think the condor in question is a crane. Even 100 years ago everyone knew that lead levels in Condors made them unsafe to eat. Do you think that lead concerns are new? Do you really believe that Al Gore invented this internet and discovered Global Warming all by himself? Old news just rehashed again.
