It's interesting so many people here (or at least a few) are down on Jim Zumbo for being a paying-client hunter. Jack O'Connor was exactly the same way and he was never attacked for that, as far as I know. Was Teddy Roosevelt attacked for it, Robert Ruark, Ernest Hemingway? This idea is something new to me.

Anyway, as Mule Deer said, he used to be a DIY hunter. I don't think many of us would pass up the kind of opportunities he was given as the hunting editor of Outdoor Life.
