PROFILE | Jack O’Connor: His Words Guided the Hunts of a Generation

A generation of outdoorsmen will forever recognize his weathered face peering through wire rimmed glasses, often under the shade of a well worn cowboy hat. It was an image seen by millions in the pages of Outdoor Life magazine, as he introduced boys of all ages to the beauty and adventures of the outdoors. His stories of places from Alaska to Zambia were anxiously read for their lessons in hunting and for an always gifted sense of storytelling. Jack O’Connor gave his readers a guide’s view of far off places that they could only dream of someday seeing with their own eyes.
