Thread: When men were men

Some great stories and pics guys , really enjoyed reading them all , the old hunting books pictures and stories really got me me going and I still have them and still flic’ through them from time to time .
They were tough men , especially the hunters in the 20 and 30’s , Jim Muir must of been one tough fella , you look at those old photos of some of the first Wapiti to be shot , the gear they had ,the basic supplies they took , very basic maps etc. and then how they carried those massive heads back out … incredible.
Mind you I think people of that generation were tougher more resilient bunch than today .
I have met a few ex cullers over the years , Bill Nikyl springs to mind as a heck of a nice guy and was well respected , some of you will be lucky enough to own one of his knives as well , I’m sure he told me once he still has his BSA .222 original condition except it’s on its 3rd barrel and second stock hahaha..
