Texas Game and Fish – December 1954

Description

This is the Texas Game and Fish magazine for December 1954, which was produced and published by the Texas Game and Fish Commission. The cover features an illustration of an osprey, painted by Sidney Woolridge.
The magazine contains 36 pages and measures approximately 8.5 x 11 inches. It contains several articles, black & white photos and illustrations.
The first issue of Texas Game and Fish was published by the Texas Game, Fish and Oyster Commission in December 1942. Executive Secretary William J. Tucker wrote in that first issue: "After the harshness, brutalities and sacrifices of the present conflict, the Texas man and womanhood that has succeeded in winning the war should return to a pleasanter place in which to live, with the invigorating influence of the out-of-doors.”
A vanguard for conservation even in its infancy, the magazine reflected a changing Texas, a developing agency and, most of all, the passions and pursuits of its readers. The magazine was more popular with readers than such national magazines as Field and Stream.
