How To Fill Your Freezer, Just Like Grandpa Did
I have an image in an old Outdoor Life magazine that stirs my soul every time I gaze at it. In this particular picture a hunter is walking through a stretch of Eastern woods with a wool cap on his head, a thick checkered flannel shirt, and knee-high laced boots. The look on his face is the look of a man determined to fill the freezer and provide for his family. It is the look of a hunter.
The image comes from the mid 1950s, and the man could be anyone’s grandfather. He carries little equipment on his person, much less than the 500 pounds of gear we hunt with today. He has a leather belt with a sheath knife, a few spare cartridges, what looks to be an army surplus canteen, and precious little else. What really captures my attention in the photo, aside from the set look on this hunter’s face, is the worn and battered Winchester Model 94 he carries in his gloved hands.
