I ran across this image and thought it was a great one. Pretty sure it is a very early image of our 16ga society members heading out for a hunt.
Good Hunting,
Mike |

Steering wheel tells me this is likely some British gentlemen heading out for a hunt. Most probably lightweight 12 cga SXS's shooting 2 1/2" shells instead of 16 ga's. I wonder where the owner of that 4th dog with an attitude is? |

The guy with the Setter on the leash and the LOM case is me, in 5 years.
Best,

Funny how hunting attire has changed. Do you spose the boots worn by the guy with the LOM case are early Russells? |

Early car's in the U.S. had the steering wheel in the center, the right or left side of the car, all moving to the left over time.
If you look at the car to the right you'll see it has left hand drive |

With the Julien Dama..s?...looks like a 1920s Paris taxi as transportation.
Sports appear to be leaving a train station from a few days at partridge. You would think them happier if the trip were beginning.
Nice photo capture. |
