LPJR Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) I asked my son if he wanted to take a ride when he got off the bus today to try a couple of fields in Walpack for a pheasant or two. Before he answered he had his vest and hat on, lol.....We hit a couple of fields near the Roy bridge and didn't see any birds so we went for a ride out towards the fields at Hainey's Mill.. The pics below are of the farm/land where some parts of the 1957 Disney movie "Old Yeller" were filmed as I was told since I was my son's age...... The sky, combined with the mist and steam coming from the Big Flatbrook, was simply amazing as the sun was setting. The last pic with the old white tree was taken on Saturday during the opener. It has been the white "ghost tree" for as long as I can remember and is at the far end of the farm. No birds seen, but we had a great time. Was very cool to see the valley drying out from the rains today. Edited November 15, 2016 by LPJR 3Blade, MRMCR, SxSshooter and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBuck Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Very Nice pictures but according to tcm.com, the movie was Tightly constructed around a series of episodic vignettes and directed with a sure hand by Disney mainstay Robert Stevenson, Old Yeller was filmed at the 700 acre Golden Oak Ranch in the Santa Clarita Valley, thirty miles north of Disney.

Nice. Like I said, I was always told some parts of the land/barns were filmed here for it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brutal. This is like telling someone there isn't a Santa Claus; shattering the blissful ignorance of childhood with the cold, harsh reality of adulthood. LPJR 1 Sapere aude. Audeamus.

_X7 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 It could have been made in New Jersey in those days before the urban sprawl. north of Route 80 was as sparse as it gets in the western part of the state. I read the book in grade school where only your imagination painted the scenery. LPJR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
