Very cool. That first pic looks like mesquite trees, so maybe west Texas? Back then most of the deer were concentrated in the Hill Country and south Texas, so probably not too far west.
Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.

Thank you for sharing, those photos bring back some great memories of deer camp back in the day. I was raised in a large family and most of my kin loved deer camp, we had some great times, I don't remember us taking many deer, but the get together was always great, too bad the elders who held the family together are gone now and the family members have moved all over the country.

I remember those tents from Boy Scouts. A real pain to set up.

Great pictures. Wish my grandparents would have had the forethought to document their adventures. Hope you keep those good digital copies forever!

I have some pics of my grandparents and their covered wagon pulled by a team of mules in the early 1900’s. They were migrating from Tennessee to the Indian Nation that would become Oklahoma.
Without a sense of urgency, nothing ever happens.
