Henry Rifle Forums

Standing over one of her many trophy mule deer, subsistence-and-sport huntress Gusty Wallihan appears every inch the frontier matron with her dressy bonnet, prairie-pattern cartridge belt, floral-embroidered gauntlets, hunting knife, and Remington-Hepburn rifle. 1895

Thanks, JEBar. It's an interesting photograph. I wonder who made this portrait and why. I suspect that cameras and film processing were a lot less common at the time than a frontier woman like Gusty, who likely hunted for food her entire life.

She was quite the stylish huntress in her bonnet with rifle and a mean looking hunting knife.

I think I dated her in college!

I'm sure back then she was considered, "Quite a Catch".

Nice Mulie, too.

She definitely doesn't look like the type of gal you'd want to argue with.

I'm thinking more of catch and release.

Well, I have two photos of my grandfather taken about twenty years later. He was working as a cowboy near Douglas Wyoming at the time. The photos were taken in front of one of the cabins. I doubt he had much free cash at the time.

That's a great photograph JEBar. Thanks for sharing it. She sure looks like she means business. Very impressive.

Sir Henry, that's a funny line. I say it to my fiance all the time and she still laughs. She says she's quite a catch and I say yup, catch and release. lol
