    The good old days ?

    I am just helping a mate tidy up his Dad`s place due to the poor old boy being struck with oldtimers disease and having to go into care. Anyway, I noticed a few photos on the walls featuring deer, pigs, chams etc and ask about them.
    Turns out that the old fella was a deer hunter/culler for a while and has a heap of old pics. I asked if I could share some around, so for a starter, here is a rougues gallery shot. The guys son is fairly sure it was in Te Urewera but doesn't know the people in it apart from Dad.
    Dad is Roy Bernhard. The ears represent a mornings work according to family myth.

    Does anyone recognise a face ? It would be great to put them back in touch.

    Fantastic slice of history Pengy.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Cool. There are lots more where that came from. Unfortunately they have been stuck into a self adhesive album so have to be removed very gently for scanning.
    Be patient . More to follow

    Good work Pengy.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    The album I have access to has a shed load of much older black and whites, but unfortunately they don't want to come out un damaged. I will try and find a way of scanning the entire page(s)
