1. Hunting camp
Format:
Image
"These hunters were camped on Black Creek, ten miles north-east of McCoy in 1912. They are: Rudolph Ebert, Carl Schrupp, Ernest Werner and Fritz Arendt. The photo by Martin Schomers. At that date, it's doubtful if any one of the group possessed a hunting license. Note the grouse hanging on the tree, one of the reasons that grouse, once so plentiful in those days, are so scarce now." -- McCoy Memoirs, p.11

12. Hunting party
Format:
Image
"Uncle Jake Borah's camp site in Colorado near Sweetwater Lake". Two tents are visible for the camp with several men and horses (plus one pack mule) surrounding the area. A spit in the center holds what appears to be a bear strung up by his feet with other small animals attached. A smattering of snow remains on the small ridge behind the camp. Jake Borah is possibly the second man from right in a wide-brim hat.
