Turn-Of-The-Century Hunters

Turn-of-the-century hunters in East Texas were lucky to kill
a whitetail buck. In fact, with a good dog, it might have been easier to get a
black bear in deep East Texas near the Big Thicket. This photo shows two proud
hunters with their rifles of the day—lever actions that shot slow, heavy lead
bullets with short-range accuracy. But one of these hunters was a good shot. The buck has a rather sizable hole in its neck.—Horace Gore
