Welcome back my friend. So very glad to see you here.
Hopefully some of these pics meet your criteria for this post.

Great outfit! Where did you find/buy the hawk?

My Great Grandfather is on the right. I have no idea what kind of muzzleloader he's holding.
The unmentionable on the left may be a Flobert.

the guns intrigue me, i admire the working men, but the old dog makes my heart swell and tears form in my eyes!

Awesome pic!! Can you take an educated guess as to when this photo was taken (by his age perhaps). This is very interesting to see that caplock rifle in use alongside a cartridge rifle.

Thanks for sharing!

He was born in 1874. I would guess the photo was taken in the 1890's.

Love the hat, what kind is it?

 

[Omahkapi'si]

The straw is a Sun Body. The other is a beaver custom job about 20 yrs old.

Here are a couple. I built the guns, powder horn strap, bag and horn, and the folding knife.

WOW. That landscape is beautiful! Reminds me of when I would drive to school and see the beautiful Rocky Mountains every morning back when I lived in Colorado.
