Photo Number 2074

This is the last of the hunting photographs.  This one is from the antique shop in Pequot Lakes Minnesota.

Looks like a stinky hunt to me.

Thanks for stopping by.

Photo Number 2073

This is a snapshot from the antique shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.

This was probably taken in November of 1958 and developed in Feb 1959.

When I was growing up, this was a normal scene, cars with deer on top…maybe people didn’t have as many pick up trucks back then.

Thanks for stopping by.

The hunter and the hunted.

Thanks for stopping by.

Photo Number 2071

This is a snapshot from the antique shop in Moorhead Minnesota.

Looks like at least two of these hunters filled their deer tag.

Thanks for stopping by.

We will look at a few hunting photos.  Deer Hunting Season is just winding up here in Minnesota.  This is a snapshot from the antique shop in Park Rapids Minnesota.

Frank

Looks like Frank is resting after a successful hunt, looks like he bagged a rabbit and a pheasant.

That might be one of those Stormy Kromer hats from Michigan.

Thanks for stopping by.

This is a photo from a little shop in East Grand Forks Minnesota.

Best Wishes for a Merry Christmas

Jimmie, Mildred and Jamie

We have a bonus with this one.

Franklin Herefords  Slater MO

That must be little Jamie in the truck!  I bet his last name is Franklin. 

That looks to me like a 1947 Two Ton Truck…but I am no expert on vehicles.  It looks like a well used truck so this photo was most likely taken in the 1950’s sometime.  He has been hunting.

Thanks for stopping by.

Update from Iggy:

James L(eroy?) Franklin (February 23, 1920 - September 27, 2001) and Mildred A. Franklin (September 3, 1914 - June 26, 2008) owned the Franklin Polled Hereford Farm outside of Slater, Missourri.

Their son, also "Jim," apparently still lives there.

The truck is indeed a a 1947-1955 era Chevrolet "Grain Truck". The back actually hinged like a dump truck.

I have a few more Miss M snapshots.

Chas + Peter   Spring of ‘39  Chas and I raked the yard.

He wore a tie to rake the lawn?

Nov 1939 Duck Hunting

It must have been a warm day, wearing short sleeves and all.

Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again:)

We continue with the photo that Miss M took.

1938 Summer at Detroit Cottage.  Charlie had worked all night at brownies.  The people next door had invited the whole congregation of the Swedish church out there.

Detroit Lakes is often called Detroit…or at least it was back in the day.  I think she is differentiating between the cottage at Detroit Lake and Tamarac Lake.

I think her family had hunting property out at Tamarac.

November 1939  Duck Hunting at Tamarac   Marv and Charlie

I am thinking that Charlie was not much of a hunter.  Marv was.  I think, and I stress think that our Miss M is Marv. short for Marvel  or Marcella Vivian or something else???  Perhaps her Mom wrote on the back of this photo?
