I have a few old Eastman movies...probably the same ones you are speaking of. One in particular shows them traveling the CAN-AM highway. Gorgeous scenes, good hunting...I watch them several times a year when I feel the urge....like now.
Does anyone remember the Olive Turner and her husband Jack....regarding early days near Lonesome Lake, BC??? I used to read those stories again and again (Outdoor Life) as a kid. Good stuff.
I was only 10 years old when I spotted an outdoorlife mag while shopping with mom for groc. It was 1965 and cost 35 cents. I challenge anyone to read that old addition and then read the last 10 years of Outdoor Life say 1990 to 2000. The editors should be the first to do this little experiment and see which they would choose to take to a deserted island.
In my opinion, it is almost criminal what has been done to a great old magazine.
You are so right. Hunting magazines nowadays are just expanded advertisements for a certain ranch, guide, outfitter, etc. Same as the shows.
When I moved to Alaska, there was so much I had to learn because the hunting was so different, and the terrain, etc. The gear required, how to charter an air taxi, what kind of tent to buy, etc. A good magazine with some how to stuff would have been great. Sadly, all they are about now is "how this guide put me on a 68-inch bull", blah, blah, blah.
