"Colorado's big game season has been postponed a week, and ... will open Oct. 24 on the Western Slope and run thru Nov. 9. Postponement was at the request of federal and state land use agencies, who state the fire hazard is more acute this year than last year, and at an extremely high point." -- Eagle Valley Enterprise Oct. 8, 1953 p.1

"This photograph appeared on the inside cover of the 1928 Eagle High School yearbook [Lux Aquilae]. Although there was never a big population of bighorn sheep on Brush Creek, they were known to winter there. The animals could be found in the summer on New York Mountain, Fools Peak, at Nolan Lake and in the Metheney Park area. The sheep population declined in the mid-1950s due to poaching and disease." -- Kathy Heicher, Early Eagle p.121

Rifle and leather gun scabbard with initials RRM; leather glove.
Roy Ralph Marfitano (RRM) first purchased the scabbard to use on his horse in 1940. The horse wasn't around very long so Roy's dad, Ralph, then started using the scabbard to protect his 1927 Winchester Model 94-32 Special rifle (shown in photo) while traveling the tracks on his railroad "putt-putt" car.
The Model 94 rifle was a very popular big game rifle in those days (1920s-1980s)....

"These hunters were camped on Black Creek, ten miles north-east of McCoy in 1912. They are: Rudolph Ebert, Carl Schrupp, Ernest Werner and Fritz Arendt. The photo by Martin Schomers. At that date, it's doubtful if any one of the group possessed a hunting license. Note the grouse hanging on the tree, one of the reasons that grouse, once so plentiful in those days, are so scarce now." -- McCoy Memoirs, p.11
