Great old photo of hunters & one lever shotgun

It seems to be a lot of celebration over three birds. There may be more hanging but hard to see. I think that is a 87 Winchester on the far left. Interesting photo.

Very cool rangerider. Is the location of the photo marked?

They might have been doing more drinking than hunting. Neat picture!

The owner says it is marked on the back H.B. Brown Cambridge Mass. 1889. It was found in Idaho.

Still my goal to one day own a 1887 based (Chicom clone okay) lever action game gun with 28 inch barrel with flush choke tubes. :mrgreen:
