Top pic, 3rd from the left, and bottom pic, far left the same fellow has a strange looking tube magazine rifle. Is that a Remington-Keene???

Remington-Keene .45-70. Also in the photos are a 99 Savage, dbl shotgun, and '93 Marlin.

Too cool for school! 8) I wouldn't ever buy one but I like seeing pictures with the Remington Keene rifles/carbines. I bet there weren't many in the Poconos!

Apparently that fella in front of the saloon ain't but about 5 foot tall.

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

Ollogger, I've packed a few out with buddies like that but never in the snow. It is a challenge at times, requiring the guy in the back to be in step with the guy in front, kind of like marching. It is easier with three guys, one to pack the rifles.

I've packed them out like that too. Like Kevin said, walking in step is the only way to keep the deer from swinging. To me, it's easier than dragging.

Those must be woodchuck tails hanging under the full hides, because if they aren't they're some mighty small chucks.

The guys around that sod house look like a rough bunch.

Thanks for the pictures guys, as stated we're a visually driven bunch.
