Newfoundland, Canada - Hunting Caribou (1902): A Captivating Snapshot of a Bygone Era This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in Newfoundland, Canada, as a hunter proudly poses with his latest prize: a majestic caribou, its impressive antlers reaching skyward. The image, taken in 1902, offers a glimpse into the rich history of big-game hunting in the region. The hunter, dressed in heavy clothing and wearing a thick fur hat, holds his rifle at the ready, a satisfied expression gracing his face. His trusted guide, clad in traditional attire, stands nearby, his eyes fixed on the caribou's carcass. The forest floor is blanketed in autumn leaves, and the trees, bathed in soft light, create a picturesque backdrop. Caribou hunting was a significant part of Newfoundland's history, with the large herds providing a valuable source of food, clothing, and income for the local population. Hunters would often travel in groups, accompanied by experienced guides who knew the woodlands intimately and could help track the elusive animals. The caribou's antlers, a symbol of strength and vitality, were highly prized, and the largest sets were often displayed as trophies. This photograph not only showcases the thrill of the hunt but also the deep connection between the people of Newfoundland and the land they called home. As we admire this snapshot from the past, we are reminded of the rich heritage of hunting and the deep respect for nature that continues to thrive in Newfoundland and Canada today.
