I didn't know Arthur Godfrey was a hunter. My mother was a great fan of his. It was her daily routine to listen to his radio show.

Hunting seemed to be an acceptable pastime in those halcyon days!

You wouldn't be allowed to show a picture of an elephant's entrails at the SCI show today.

Yes, this is very interesting.
Thank you.

In the old LIFE magazines (and also in the National Geograpic) are - in the old days - often articles about hunting.
And mostly (ever) in an positive light.
Until the end of the 1960thys..

The good old days when people had some sense and weren't offended at every little thing.

I remember Arthur Godfrey but didn't know he was a hunter. If he did that today, he'd be vilified in social media and lose all his sponsors.
