Vintage Hunting Gallery - Volume 4

1 of 10 — Alaska 1903 

When you’re from the United Kingdom and you come to Alaska to hunt moose, it’s only proper to bring your best tweed jacket, tie, and pipe. Because once you kill an Alaska-Yukon moose with a spread of nearly 68 inches, you have to look presentable for the photo. 

2 of 10 — Wyoming, date unknown

This man identified only as Larry was proud enough of his typical Wyoming elk that he pulled it off the wall and put on his best fringe-suede leather jacket to pose for a photo in Valley, Wyoming.

3 of 10 — Pennsylvania 1965

Jay Kenser appears to have shot this buck on his way home from work one day, but we’re making assumptions about that. We do know this 7x7 buck scored a solid 165-1/8 points. 

4 of 10 — Nova Scotia 1949

Chances are M.T. Parker didn’t shoot this whitetail while wearing his Sunday suit. Regardless, the deer scoring 154-5/8 points is as stylish as the peak lapels on his suit. 

5 of 10 — Quebec 1947

Mrs. O.L. Steidel and a friend pose with O.L. Steidel’s black bear, which is frozen solid. Mr. Steidel shot the bear while hunting deer, but the bear nearly won the encounter as Steidel’s final (and fatal) head shot was made at a modest eight feet—while the bear was lunging toward him. 

6 of 10 — Northwest Territories 1970

Lewis W. Lindemer wasn’t wearing tweed when he killed this fine Dall’s sheep that measures 173-7/8, but thanks to that hat, shirt and smile combo, we’d say that looks like a pretty good outfit for hunting sheep.

7 of 10 — Texas 1953

In 1953, Henderson Coquat’s whitetail was declared the world’s record typical whitetail at the time. Today, it sits far down the rankings at 450. To see if it still holds the Texas state record, check it out at Big Game Records LIVE.

8 of 10 — Mexico 1934

Not one to hunt without his tie, Joseph W. Lippincott shot this great pronghorn buck with a spread measuring 12-5/8 inches.

9 of 10 — North Dakota 1955

Pictured here is William F. Cruff who looks like he could have either just stepped off the North Dakota prairie or the set of Toy Story 4—thanks to that great hat. Either way, the hat, jacket, and fine non-typical buck are hard to beat.

10 of 10 — California 1953

With the largest cougar ever to come out of California, Warren C. Johnston killed this cougar in Ventura County—and he looks quite stylish in his “camo” plaid shirt.
