[QUOTE="wv270wsm, post: 2986451, member: 96251"] Love these photos . I wish my dads grand father could have somehow had a way to get pics from their old hunting camps in the early 1900's . He'd tell stories of leaving Webster county Wv to walk over and hunt the deer on Cheat mountain. According to him that was the only place there was deer at the time . You'd cut a track in the snow and follow it till you either killed it or ran out of hunting season . He told of several decent bucks being killed back then . Him and my great grandmother raised 8 kids poorer than poor . Dads uncles all said they'd go squirrel hunting with just the 22 ,7-8 shells and that was the responsibility of the oldest to carry it , but the rest of them would throw rocks until the squirrel hit the ground crippled then get clubbed or got away . And that's how they hunted . Couldn't imagine doing that now . What a racket that would have been to witness [/QUOTE]
