Pre-WWI. Nine hunters in this group, and three are young boys with BIG guns! Crawford County, Arkansas–James Leander Ford (b. 1 SEPT 1882) is in the group, but it is unclear which gunner he is. The man second from the left is toting a pistol for his hunting weapon. There are two hunting dogs in the front of the group. Overalls for one child and two of the men. Fedoras for most of the men, or something closely resembling that style. One tie. Pump guns, double barrels, single barrel shotgun,.22 rifle, and two lever-action big-bore rifles. If I am not mistaken, the middle child is holding an early BB gun.
