1899 photo of a hunting camp on the western edge of the Hill Country in Kimble County. It's the Turner Ranch at what is now South Llano State Park.

Some great herd management there...mature 8's or less and yearling forky plus a bunch of does/fawns also. Even one went into camp meat. That is a great old pic, thanks for posting.

These guys were whacking some variety. My old family pics ... it's only big bucks. The Hill country had bucks almost on par with their south Texas cousins up until the 60s-70s. My Dad and his friends took bucks like those two in the photo pretty regularly back in the 50s. Love the photo!
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

I sure would have liked an opportunity to sit at that campfire and listen to those boys hunting stories. Once upon a time it could be done without box blinds, scent control, UTV, feeders and variable power 50 mm scopes.

Kinda looks like they were just realizing that somebody needs to get started cleanin'.

Either that picture, or one very near it, is in the Menger Bar, Menger Hotel, San Antonio.... not that I've seen it, just from anecdotal information...
