A Classic Cover

Interesting shot placement.

Likely the best choice under the circumstances though...hopefully for Tarzan the picture shows it before the arrow has finished pentrating!

LMAO. An ape will die on every page! Classic. And here I thought the "whack 'em & stack 'em" theme in modern hunting shows was a recent phenomenon!

Two things I noticed about those covers:

1. Tarzan is looking far to the right of those buffalo. Could he be showing off for Jane?

2. Saxton Hale lost his shirt and most of his trousers, but he managed to keep his hat while faultlessly executing the dreaded and deadly shoulder blade stab.

Use Enough Gun

Hey, I'm old enough to remember "Brylcreem"!

Or how about flat tops and butch wax?!

By the way Ann, I don't think that it was the arrow shot that first caught your eye! LOL

Dang, you got me.

Well, I also noticed Tarzan seems to be out of arrows and those buffalo look a little peeved. And those big leaves don't look like much protection.

What next...............c'mon folks!!!

I believe he still has his "Ape a Page" sheathed quite comfortably of his left hip, not to mention his back up just behind him.

Damn, those Buff haven't a chance in hell !!!!!!!

LOL You are obviously not a connoisseure of the finer arts of gorilla stabbing.

That is ovbviously the "Over-the-shoulder reverse clavicle stab", probably with a half-twist, which was a favorite style of the time.

That half-twist is what made it such an art form. It's a shame, but contemporary gorilla stabbers now prefer the double axle even though it has much less class. :P

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.
-Seth Peterson

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong;

I seem to remember that Ruger use to advertise their .44 magnum rifle as a perfect fit for hunting gorillas...complete with graphics of a hunter bagging a silverback. Times, they are a changing.

Now where is that Tony Black??????

Apparently Savage marketed their rifles in this way too. Can't find a bigger version of this ad unfortunately.

A gem from Saxton Hale:

Mr. Bidwell: There's a group of hippies in the parking lot again...

Saxton Hale: The scoundrels! What have they got their smelly ponytails in a twist about this time?

Mr Bidwell: Guns, sir. They're against them.

Saxton Hale: Fine. I'll beat them to death with my bare hands!
