That's a Great Picture. When was the last time you got together with your buddies and you all leaned your guns together like that for a picture. Different times!

Huntsprig, that's a great pic, but who was using the '94 to shoot pheasant?

A couple of years ago, and feeling the need to do it again soon.

That was somewhere outside of Rock Springs Wyoming, he lived there from about 1910 till 1929.
Those are Sage Grouse so maybe the 94 shooter was trying to shoot them on the ground?
I see a rabbit next to the spare tire so maybe he was rabbit hunting.

Another one of his hunts.

J/K about the rifle and birds. I had to enlarge the pics to see what they were, maybe Prairie Chickens by the size? A little bigger than sage grouse, and have horizontal bars across the chest, but I couldn't make it out in the pics.
Those pics could be my grandfather and his brothers in 1920's SE Idaho. Said he killed more with an Indian throwing stick because a box of ammo was two days pay! Things haven't changed much!
Cool you have those pics!
