Kansas USA-1958: Hunter in Snowy Field with Shotgun

Archive Intelligence

Archive brief fit

Serves 1950s Americana documentary and editorial requests for authentic rural hunting footage set in the midwestern United States.

Period detail

The man's tan hunting jacket, billed cap, and wooden-stocked break-action shotgun suggest mid-twentieth-century rural sporting culture.

Home-movie behavior

A companion filming a friend or family member on a winter hunting outing — candid, unstaged movement across open field terrain.

What appears in frame

Adult male hunter, tan hunting jacket, light billed cap, break-action shotgun with wooden stock, dry tall grass, scattered snow patches, flat open field, overcast winter sky.

Film character

Warm color shift, visible grain structure, and motion blur from handheld 8mm capture give this footage a distinctly mid-century archival texture.

Edit role

Functions as a rural life cutaway, insert within a hunting sequence, or a memory-beat montage cut in 1950s Americana documentary context.

Historical context

Winter field hunting with a shotgun was common rural recreation and subsistence practice in mid-century America; content is consistent with that context.

Research note

Adult male face is identifiable across multiple frames; likeness rights require assessment before commercial use — original film copyright status also needs verification.

Research search match

Researchers may seek 1950s hunting footage, winter Kansas field, mid-century rural America, vintage shotgun archival 8mm, postwar Midwest outdoor life.

Archive pairing path

Pair first with other clips from this reel; then 1950s Kansas or Midwest rural footage; then winter hunting or outdoor sport sequences from the same decade.
