This is Sports Afield for October 1948, Vol. 120, No. 4, an outdoor magazine of hunting and fishing that first sold for 25 cents.
The cover shows wear and rubbing at the edges and spine, the pages are toned, and there are no rips or tears, as the photos show.
The painted cover of decoys, shotgun shells, and hunting gear introduces They Die With Their Boots On! by George X. Sand, and the issue goes on to The Mighty Musky by Jason Lucas, To Baja by Air, and Know Your Ducks. Period ads fill the pages, from the Pflueger Tandem Spinner and a Philco freezer to Ray-O-Vac batteries and a Camel cigarettes back cover.
