dont remember what year this was, but i do remember this was the year of the Wisconsin boys last year ever coming out bc they were retired and getting to a point they didnt come anymore.. only one guy out of the group of 4 still comes and i still get a kick out of his old stories.


a photo of me shooting limit (3) pheasants in our rice patty (hot spot for pheasants) in less than 5 min shoot.

Those kansas pic's were BD!!!!! Before dogs!!!! Not too bad without the canines!!!!! But, I learned quickly!!!!! LOL:cheers:
 
That last photo is sweet. That is bird hunting the way it was meant to be. That got me wishing for snow.
 
Love the old photos, makes me wish I'd had the sense to take more pics than we did. The last few years have gotten lots of pics, trying to make sure and get more than just the 'limit on the tailgate' shots. The candid action shots, breaktimes, and panoramics are what I need to concentrate on.

Exactly, mine are on old film. I see you must be able to re do them some how in digital. Any one know how? Great thread :10sign: can't wait to see more. I have some back when the MULLET was still the hair of choice "LOL".
 
I'm assuming most people are scanning their hard copy photo and then saving it to their computer.

I've also seen in electronics catalogs equipment that you put the film in, it then converts it to a format to be used on your computer. Will do some research and post in a bit----

I know, I want to take more pics of something other than birds on the tail gate myself. I just get too excited about bird hunting and forget about my camera until the end of the day. Later in the season I tend to remember the camera while I'm in the field, so I've acquired a few action shots....we'll see how I do during the youth hunt this season:rolleyes:
 
my wife does it with a scanner.. shes taken all my baby pics when i was a year or two.. got one of me holding a miller beer bottle smiling... its not hard.. just need a scanner.
 
You want old? My first pheasant. The year was 1944, and the guy with the Browning is Uncle Jack.

WOW! That pic is a classic jnorman. I didn't realize roosters used to be black and white and how quickly they evolved into such pretty birds....:rolleyes:

In all seriousness, I'm sure you cherish that pic and I would too. I think I like this thread. Too bad my family didn't own a camera until the 90's.

Were there a lot of pheasants in SD in the 40's?

Were there a lot of SD pheasants in the 1940s? You betcha. During the war a good many farms were idle and grew up in weeds. Many men were gone to war, ammunition was scarce, hunting pressure was light. I may have, somewhere, photos of grandpa and his hunting pals. They are pictured with a heap of pheasants, including hens which were legal some years. I think for a few years the limit was something like 5 roosters + 3 hens, and it was very easy, even without dogs to fill a limit.

As a kid in the 1950s, we lived in Sioux Falls, and would sometimes see pheasants right in town during the winter. I remember finding a hen on a nest of eggs a block from where we lived.
 
Very nice J !!!!! Now that is old!!! Love the photo and the history!!!!:coolpics::10sign:
 
That is nice. I wonder how he managed to shoot that bird without wearing any Filson, having plated shot, or without any extended choke tubes?
 
@moellermd - Nice One!!! :D
Such a wonder my grandad & all his generation regularly managed to get their deer every year, fully camouflaged out in blue jeans & a red flannel shirt - without any Real-Tree, Scent-Lock, Tinks, C'mere Deer, rangefinders, headnets & such too! :p
 
jnorman- awesome pic. Don't see too many of these around that people have been smart enough to get on a computer or just don't care. Very very cool.
 
1944, I remember those days, seriously I do. I was 10 years old that January. Hunting had not entered my life as yet. My father did not hunt..............Bob
