We don't hunt, but does camping and fishing count?

ronn,

I don't have any photos of the birds, however on a trip to Central, Alaska about 15 years ago I took out 3 grouse while passing over Eagle Summit. Got all three together with the radiator/shell/bumper.

Thankfully we had a black Labrador with us and she was able to retrieve them off the side of the mountain.

The next morning, she had removed them from the Model A pickup and had laid them out neatly along a creek bank. She was an avid Yellow Jacket hunter and had probably killed several hundred by that time. Luckily I had some benedryl, because she needed it badly, but she was back to killing bees within a couple of hours.

This photo was taken that day, just after the kill.

When I read the title I thought it was gonna be that you found an abandoned A while you were out hunting. Heard that story more than a couple times.

And ct- Nice pic, Look at them Chompers!

PS-was expecting you to show a shot of fresh fish strung up on that nice paint job!

The gator reminds me of the old handbags with the gaters head still attached to the bag-that is one beast! amazed the springs on the A didn't list heavily to the right!
Almost looks like an early brass horn for honking!

great shots-thx! keep em coming......................

We hadn't caught anything yet when the picture was snapped. That was a 3-day camping trip. I don't know why we don't take very many pictures while camping or in the car. The reason I took that picture was to prove to someone at work that I could indeed erect a tent. It wasn't until much later that I learned of the double innuendo that he meant by it.

just found this one. Seems the front fender is the best place to put anything bigger than a rabbit.
