Steens Mountains, Little Blitzen River, Oregon
The Veltie Pruitt and the Pruitt family guided this area from the 30's till the 80's.
these mountains have great hunting, some of the best in Oregon! I hope to get some pictures up of my grandfathers pack train.

Mckenzie River

In 1925 Minister and guide Veltie Pruitt built the very first light board and batten riverboat for use on the McKenzie.

Measuring only 13' from stem to stern and made from 12" spruce boards and cedar frames the boat proved to be light.
"It could "skitter like a bug across the water."
The boat could also be car topped, thereby making most of Oregon's wild rivers accessible to the guide. Indeed,
Veltie and his good friend Prince Helfrich used this boat to be the first to run such rivers as the upper Rogue (Prospect to Shady Cove), the Metolius, Deschutes from top to bottom and the John Day.

In fact, there is story about Veltie and Prince hand carrying this boat about three miles through old growth timber to run and fish the Smith, a McKenzie tributary.

Lawrence Walter Chapman
Now this is my other grandfather L. W. Chapman (chap) with one of his bucks check out the rack. he guided in the 60s in central oregon. He owned and operated a sporting goods store in the early 50's.in the 60s he operated the Timbers on hwy 97 north of Gilchrist, Oregon. I think i've got the fishing and hunting bug in my blood.
The old Winchester 30-30 I still have and have taken the above deer with it and 2 elk. But it's finally retired on the wall, we just wore it out.
