Cool!! I do remember brining back cases of Coors beer from Colorado when we went on some bowhunting trips out there. We brought back more beer than deer that's for sure..  |

I love looking at those photos. The ones with old guns displayed especially are of interest to me. Keep them coming.

Very cool pictures, but I'm amazed they actually killed any deer without any Sent Loc High Definition multi cammo Real Tree hunting attire. LOL Them were to good old days and I bet they weren't any bickering about herd reduction either among hunters in the camp.

I wish that I would have written it down, maybe we can find it some where on the internet, but Dad said his first Colorado tag he could take something like five deer and a bear on one tag. And they took a lot of deer back then.

These are not really that old. I believe it was 1969 or 1970. This was my first out of state bowhunt to the Hot T camp in SW Colorado. This is the cabin that we bunked in.  This is my hunting buddy John Trout Jr. Before he started writing outdoor and hunting articles and became famous.  This was the only thing we killed on the trip. A sage hen.  This is the gentleman we were hunting on, Wayne Flowers. A cowboy’s cowboy.  This is him, his wife Nellie (camp cook) and his son standing in front of the cook house.  The first year we hunted there the cost was $75 for 5 days of hunting and that included food. The next year it was $125, but I had won a free trip in an indoor archery shoot, so John and I split his cost and we both went. Later that year the staff from Bowhunter Magazine went out there, published an article and the price jumped to $250 for the following year. I never went back to the Hot T after that, but still hunted Colorado for another 5 or 6 years. Yeah, we always brought back cases of Coors. |

I've got pictures standing on that very same porch Woody! Wayne Flowers is a true cowboy! I was fortunate enough to take one 5x5 bull, but we never saw any of those monster bulls you here about. Now the mule deer are another story! It was a truly awesome hunt.

circa 1900. Great Grandad (standing in front of tent, handlebar mustache) was in charge of a party of men assigned the duties of supplying meat for the railroad up in northern Wisconsin/Minnesota  |

Gotta love those old pics. A lot of times the mundane photos (at the time) are the more interesting ones later.
