Early Arkansas Hunters: Washington County 1920s?

John Calvin English (February 13, 1881-1932) with his hunting dogs Red and Blue. He has a nice pump shotgun. According to the listing, this picture was taken around 1928 in Washington County, Arkansas. He was born in Washington County in the Cove Creek Township. But I think the photograph was taken in Oklahoma. He moved to Oklahoma near Baron in 1920 and was still living there in 1930. The census lists him as a farmer; this picture shows us a farm in the background. English was drafted into service in March 1918 in preparation for World War I and was sent to Camp Jackson in South Carolina for training. US Census for the information and Ancestry for the image.
