Interesting old postcard

While not a postcard collector, I do have a shoebox full of old postcards. I had not viewed them for a long time, and decided to go through them last night. I found one of some possible interest to members. This particular postcard had a postmark of September 25, 1910 at Tacoma Washington, so I assume this picture was probably from Washington. The legend on the bottom of the picture is "A giant pine tree, 29 feet in circumference." Note the two rifles in the foreground. Using a magnifying glass to look at the original postcard (a little better quality than my copy), the rifle on the right seems to be a Model 8 Remington, having a round-bottom pistol grip. The other, in my opinion, is a Winchester Model 1906 (or possibly Model 1890) .22 pump gun. The gentleman in the center appears to be wearing a gunbelt and revolver. Also looks to be some type of dead game at the men's feet.
