Night hunting back then made things a good bit easier too. But it isn't like whitetail have ever been that hard to hunt.

I read where soldiers from Fort Richardson got a two day pass and headed out on a turkey hunt. They made camp on a creek miles from the post and drank all afternoon (not the greatest of ideas in Indian country). Once it got dark they blew the turkeys off their roosts. That was definitely a different time.

First lease, slept in jungle hamic, or an old trailor that was at campsite. Then wife found the camper. Pic of cabin, bunch of us got together & threw stuff we had sitten around. Had already seen the gotta pay ta play games of leasing. The fancier the building, price goes up & ones that did the work loose every thing ta the Big Bucks. 99% of time pitched tent at OSBWMA have woke up in single didget weather with snow on ground, archery deer-hog hunts, think twice pulled camper their. Ones shared lease with, were low-income. Like pic in OP. Family-friends- for en & chillen. Interesting thread & comments, ya mines not worth i gots cheep posts.

I don't keep dead animals that close to my tent. They are going to be stepping in gut piles when they get up at night to pee.

That picture is obviously photo shopped. For one they are not wearing camo, there are no ATV's, and their rifles are not scoped and have the caliber large enough that is accepted for killing whitetail humanely. They look as though they haven't had a bath in a while, so I doubt they washed their clothes in scent killer, or put on fresh clothes for the hunt. It doesn't appear that it is cold, so how were they going to ice down all that meat? Looks like they are waaaay over the limit as well, and not one tag on any of the deer, so somebody needed to call the GW. Maybe back in 1899, poachers, and hunters were painted with a very broad brush!

I will say this, hard to tell if our older relatives were hunters or poachers back in the day (50s/60s). They said didn't matter as long as they had an animal on the hood driving into town. Lol. Times have changed but still have put one on the hood every now and then.

Times have changed but still have put one on the hood every now and then. Had to laugh, as I've got a picture somewhere of my dad's old 48 Ford with a 6 point buck strapped across a bloody fender, which was his first buck, and he drove back and forth through the small town near where he took the buck back in the 50's. I was only about 6 or 7 but I remember it, and also the wolf he killed on that same ranch. Wasn't very many deer back then, and killing one was a big deal, not so much the horns.
