Interesting old photographs. I enjoyed them, but whoever originally put them together clearly had an agenda. I agree with you that time puts them in context; that they are not necessarily politically correct today, but ...

I find it interesting that the antis don't even bother to identify the animals that they don't want us to hunt. The answer is easy, they don't want us to hunt ANY animals.

But when I see alligators identified as crocodiles and topi identified as deer, it loses a lot of credibility.

Now I would agree, everyone should stop hunting the Australian Alligator -- it is simply too endangered.

Fair amount of ivory in that warehouse. Some big ones, too.

Great photos showing a doorway into the past, but the mislabeled animals really ticked me off (the topi called deer most notably).

What a unique pair of curved tusks! would have loved to see how that bull wore them!

And as for Herr Goering's elk....if I'm not mistaken Elch or Elk in europe would be what we call moose....as for the other taxonomical atrocities, my favorite was the railroad hunting excursion with the location listed in Massachusetts with the quarry being pronghorn antelope.....right....
