Alberta was popular with Hollywood stars in the old days. Deanne Martin and his buddies hunted geese here regularly.Obviously, sheep hunting was a different game in those day. The Sulphur river is in what is now Willmore wilderness park. You can still hunt there, but lots more competition and the rams have to be larger as well. Grizz Indeed, no human being has yet lived under conditions which, considering the prevailing climates of the past, can be regarded as normal.

Bing was also a well-known bird hunter to our area as well! Lots of pictures of him and freinds with shotguns in hand, and roosters galore! An old cabin that is still used as a bunkhouse to this day, is known as "Bing's Hideaway" It is most unfortunate that we cannot convince today's celebrities to enjoy the outdoors like this, and help promote the sport. | |||

I had a good friend who was a Catholic missionary in Tanzania. His church was in the middle of no where. One Sunday he walked in for mass and Bing Crosby was sitting in the front row with his PH. Until he passed Crosby would annually send $500 to my friends mission. | |||

The clothes they left in are a real hoot - who would bring a coat and tie to a hunting camp today? | |||

I wish I was around to hunt back then.I would flip out if I could have hunted the 70's let alone the 40's. | |||

Now you're being nostalgic.  What we would call the Good Old Days. Month long hunts , nobody in the bush for miles and miles, game out the yin Yang. Grizz Indeed, no human being has yet lived under conditions which, considering the prevailing climates of the past, can be regarded as normal.

It's refreshing to see something like that and not have to be told what model and make the rifle was, who made the scope, what binoculars were used, who made the pack frame, what boots were worn, the knife that was used, and an explanation of the wonderful new bullets used and the new technology that allowed them to perform better than any previous bullet made. . | |||

That was entertaining and refreshing. Thanks Kathi. Hollyweird is NOT the same cut of folks nowadays. Zeke | |||
