I would guess this was around early 1940s because of the electric pole.. Rural Montana got electricity in 1938. The shack behind them isn't hooked up.

I can't comment on the electric vs. telegraph pole, but the rifle is a Winchester 1895, this isn't earlier than that.

It was probably taken from the yard sale to your home.

Again, the image is fuzzy. I think the dangling down of the insulators would denote electricity. Old telegraph poles had the insulators normally positioned pointing skywards. However, to be fair, you do, on occasion, have electricity poles that have insulators pointing skywards, too. Again, this is all speculative.
