The photos and illustrations that graced Outdoor Life<\/em> magazine\u2019s print covers captured some of the most iconic scenes in all of hunting and fishing. Scroll through these old covers and you\u2019ll recognize moments that you\u2019ve likely experienced yourself.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One of the all-time most common cover scenes is a hunter momentarily distracted \u2014 maybe by a cup of hot coffee, or a pipe that needed packing, or a fence that needed crossing \u2014 while a big buck charges by<\/a> or a rooster flushes from cover<\/a>. If we were to illustrate this moment today, the hunter would, undoubtedly, be looking at his phone. But there\u2019s also the scene that all anglers have witnessed of a monster fish skyrocketing into the sunset<\/a> ready to spit the hook with a tremendous head shake. There are also a handful of what I\u2019d call \u201cope moments\u201d depicting an outdoorsman bumping into a bear<\/a> or suddenly noticing the mountain lion lurking over his shoulder<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

These covers make ideal gifts, especially for the outdoorsmen who have everything under the sun. They\u2019re also the perfect art pieces for hunting camps and cabins.<\/p>\n

While scanning through these covers I noticed an illustration that not only looks like a moment I\u2019d recognize, but it looks almost exactly like me.<\/em> It\u2019s the May 1950 cover, which ran 37 years before I was born. Adding to the accuracy of this illustration is the fact that I am a god-awful fly fisherman. The times that I have caught trout on a fly rod almost certainly looked just as chaotic and uncoordinated as this.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I think I\u2019ll order this cover and hang it over my desk just to remind myself not to take things (especially fishing) too seriously.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
