Classic Big Game Photos from the Field & Stream Archives
Classic Big Game Photos from the Field & Stream Archives
October 1960: Avalanche!
This photo appeared in a hyperbolic account of an ibex hunt taken in the mountains of Pakistan in the late '50s. Author Count S. Krasicki is already injured and hungry when his party is struck by an avalanche, which strips the clothes from his guide, and they get stuck on the mountainside for days. Eventually he shoots this buck for the meat rather than the horns. The caption on this photo reads: "I could summon up no elation when I was photographed with my ibex, for I was completely exhausted and racked by pain."

Gorgeous B&W photos! You should make more classic galleries.
Very cool. The fellow in the mustache kneeling over the lion--is that Robert Ruark?
Awesome stuff. You should do a Teddy Roosevelt gallery.
Love the jaguar on slide 8. What a great photo.
Gobblerman-
I thought the same thing. I saw it in "Use Enough Gun".
Sorry-
The one I saw in "Use Enough Gun" was pic #10, the one with his foot on the lions head.
OK-not to beat a dead lion here, but it looks like the hunters in #10 and #11 are not the same. Maybe Aitken in #11 and Ruark in #10?
Anyways, great collection of pics. I love reading about these guys, no matter how sensationalized it might have been.
Amazing photos and reminds me of when grandpa gets his photos out of hunting in colorado,etc. Its just not the same these days as it was back then. Some people stay in cabins with a chef and titanium kitchen and double king-sized bedrooms;It used to be you go through the cold or whatever and camp.
I LOVE THESE PHOTOS I LIKE TO SEE THE WAY IT USED TO BE
These pics are awesome, but is there any chance we can get some full articles to go with the pictures online?
Great pictures, I would like to read the articles that went with them.
those are some prettty amazing photos
those are some prettty amazing photos
If you put these photos in a coffe table type book with the related stories, I would buy one.
i dont know if its just me but i did not care for picture number 10 only because it seems disrespectful with his foot on the back of the lions neck other than that i loved the gallery and hope more of them come along
these photos are very cool i would love to see more it meakes you think how much are guns and geaar have adveanced over the years
Its great to see some old school photos up here. Really enjoyed checking them out.
Awesome gallery. Time to go wolf and kitty hunting! Oh wait, they're protected. Unfortunatly.
F&S Classic galleries are always great to look at. Notice the complete lack of trendy togs in copyright camo patterns? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Check out how chopped the barrel is on that 1895(?) in #17. That gun is already known as a real kicker. Talk about a brush gun!
And a 350lb. jaguar? My butt.
You know what's funny? This makes me think that in 75 years or so, people will be looking at pictures of us and saying that they are vintage! I can only imagine my great, great grandkids calling my photos vintage because they are actually printed on paper and not stored in some computer.
Great photos.
Great pictures. I would love to see F&S add an archives section with more of these kinds of pictures along with articles by some of your wonderful writers from the past.
Awesome photos. I can only imagine the difference between hunting back in those days and the "hunts" we do today.
I'd venture to say that few of us in our time will ever experience half of what some of those men did in their lives.
Great stuff!
i love the history of the photos, being a historian and all, but i hate to see pictures of animals that were hunted to almost extinction, i just breaks my heart to think what a little conservation in the past could have meant for the present.
Love those old-timey photos!
