As a young man I read just about everything that Jack O'Connor wrote in Outdoor Life. Of all the things he wrote, one story stuck in my head, probably because he applied humor to a serious issue. He was writing about hunting "accidents" and related a story about a young woman who was sitting on a rock smoking a cigarette when a "mountain lion hunter" shot her. He wrote "obviously he thought she was a mountain lion sitting on a rock smoking a cigarette". He had a very easy style of writing that held my interest.
If you are interested, his papers are housed at Washington State University and are listed in this link.
