Love those L.B. Hunt quail portraits. IMO we lost a lot when the generations of magazine illustrators stopped painting scenes from the stories and we went to strictly photographic "art" in mags. I even used to love the covers of "Argosy" and suchlike "men's magazines" (which mostly died out before I was actually a man--I read 'em anyway).
One related peeve: I wish that Wolfe Publications hadn't succumbed to the lure of "product placement" on its covers like all the other gun magazines. My earlier issues of "Rifle" and "Handloader" mostly have ONE carefully chosen and shot cover photograph of an appropriate topic, not sixteen snaps of the "stuff" that is mentioned in the issue. "Busy" to the point of manic, like much of the modern world: "Don't make a clear choice; just throw crap out into the marketplace, and hope somebody makes the choices for you."
(I don't like "split screen" TV shows much either, like "24". I may actually be fossilized....).
