No idea of the year on this one, but it looks like a counter sign rather than a magazine ad.
I'm not so sure this is a good idea. What happens to the pipe when you throw the shotgun to your shoulder? Hmmm...it might work for him, since he carries his pipe left and appears to be a right-handed gunner. However, recoil might cause something unexpected to happen.
It wouldn't work so well for me, since I carry the pipe left and am also left-handed when it comes to long guns. There would probably be a thwack and a cloud of ashes in my face. I really don't think I could enjoy smoking a pipe and hunting at the same time. Now, smoking a pipe and fishing is another story. And by fishing I mean finding a big hole with an upstream sandbank where I can recline in the shade and stick the cane pole in the sand so I don't have to actually hold on to it. Smoking a pipe and shooting gars in the creek with a .22 would probably also be a winning combination.
This post is because I again have nothing for today and I hate having a day without a single post. I already have a really nice vintage gun ad lined up for tomorrow morning.
