Couples Therapy
We don’t often get photos of hunters and their spouses, but when we do, it’s cause to celebrate. What a great way to spend time together in the field. Apparently, that kind of couples therapy has been going on for some time. We dedicate the following photos to the happy couples getting it done out there this fall.

1. New Mexico 1963
Celia Garcia was hunting with her husband near Chama when she shot this beast of a typical mule deer, which scored 192-3/8. The circumference on the bases alone taped at six inches each. Joseph, her husband, shot the state record non-typical (on the right) just two days prior to Celia’s buck. B&C SCORE: 306-2/8 B&C pointsLOCATION: Chama, New Mexico
KILL DATE: 1963
HUNTER: Joseph A. Garcia
2. North Dakota 1947
With whom we presume is his wife, Lawrence Vandal killed this great typical whitetail a half-mile south of the the town of Concrete during the rut. B&C SCORE: 178-1/8 B&C pointsLOCATION: Concrete, North Dakota
KILL DATE: 1947
HUNTER: Lawrence E. Vandal
3. Arizona 1931
Eleanor O’Connor, wife of legendary hunter and writer Jack O’Connor, was quite a hunter herself. She killed this great mule deer (her first deer) on the Kaibab. Jack’s deer was a forked horn, which might explain why he was standing in front of it.
4. Washington 1963
Robert Newell and his wife Sandy had a great morning in the field. Supposedly Robert shot the 14x13 non-typical that scored 201-4/8. The photo makes it look like Sandy killed it, and it kind of makes you wonder. B&C SCORE: 201-4/8 B&C pointsLOCATION: Stevens, Washington
KILL DATE: 1963
HUNTER: Robert W. Newell
5. Yukon Territory 1946
Grancel Fitz and his wife Betty were stalwart volunteers with the Club in the mid-1900s. They also did plenty of hunts together, like this one in which Grancel completed his Grand Slam with a Dall’s sheep.
6. Idaho 1934
Elmer Keith was an Official Measurer for the Club, and he was also a crack shot with rifles and pistols. Here, he brought the whole family out for a pronghorn hunt near his home in Pahsuneroi, Idaho.
7. Wyoming 1952
A.H. Henkel killed this 11x11 mule deer near his home in Rawlins. We assume that’s his better half hiding behind the massive torso of this absolute specimen of a mule deer.
8. Oklahoma 1970
With incredibly similar hairstyles, William Heller and an unnamed acquaintance pose with his 10x11 non-typical whitetail, which scores 204-4/8.
9. Oregon 1938
Nora and Oliver Dunsmoor pose with Oliver’s Roosevelt’s elk that he killed hunting seven miles northeast of Saddle Mountain near Coon Creek in Clatsop County. The bull measured 363-1/8 points.
10. Canadian Rockies 1939
G.J. van Heek went on a safari of sorts to the Canadian Rockies in 1939. Apparently, his trip was a success as we see him and his bride posing with the spoils from that adventure.
