Thread: Wapiti hunters. Who was better?

I found an old magazine in a pile of books when I was hunting down South and there was a story in there from one of the old hunting mags that has been lost in time. The writings are from the 1930s or 40s from a duo on their annual trophy hunt. I can’t recall exactly where they were I’m sorry, but they spoke of open tops and plenty of animals. Each day, weather permitting, they were shooting multiple stags 14+points. I had a good laugh when they said that the stags they were shooting weren’t suitable for eating so they would pick out yearlings and give them a tune up for their meat.

I’d say it’s the technology that has had the biggest impact on hunting. Like some of the other members have stated—better scopes, versatile cartridges, helicopters, thermals, vehicles, even dogs with all the latest tracking devices…I reckon the greatest hunter will be the fella who still hunts like the old boys, but in this modern time. Who that is I’d have no idea lol.
