Old Family Pics: My Hunting Heritage

[DGearyFTE]

LIR ... this is a great post. There is something special in having old photos that capture our past. You are very lucky to have them and very kind to share them. I think most would agree that looking at them brings back a nostalgia and longing for the more simple times.

My entire maternal line is from Haldimand-Norfolk. My ancestors were some of the first settlers in the area.

Nice old pics! I always like the big grin kids have when they get to "hold the gun" for the pictures.

LIR, Thank you for starting this thread and sharing your pics with us. This thread also allowed us into the insights of the Long Point Bay Company.

Its amazing how many generations enjoy our great sport and how many people have pictures like this. Sure the faces are different but the pride of the successful hunter is the same and the ear to ear grin on the young ones never fades no matter how old the picture.

Thanks for sharing Lady....FB

Great photos. For anyone interested in reading about the history of the Long Point area, check out Harry Barrett's book called Lore and Legends of Long Point. Another good read is Long Point: Last Port of Call by Dave Stone.
