Have to wonder if these boys hunted in those outfits or when they got back home changed into suits to pose for the photo.

I am guessing but looks too clean, so they all changed in their finest and posed. Plus that looks like a RHD car

If I drag a deer out my clothes are bloody and boots muddy

Thanks for all the cool pictures! 

My guess on this one is they actually tied these deer to the poles when they were laying on the ground to use for carrying out.  One guy on either end of the poles for a long haul out. Then they stood them up for the pictures. 
 

Someday  I’m going to try to dig through my boxes of stuff and find the pictures of my grandfather and his buddies at Cranberry Lake. He used to refer to that place and a place called McKeever (sp?). They hunted the Adirondacks 1940’s -1960’s as I recall.

Lol.  That dog has been eating better than the hunter.
