Step into the stillness of early fall with this Field and Stream cover from September 1938. A whitetail buck pauses mid-stride, casting a sharp glance over his shoulder as autumn colors glow around him. In the distance, a doe stands quietly alert by the water’s edge, completing a scene rich with seasonal tension and natural beauty. Capturing the fleeting calm before motion returns, this vintage illustration is perfect for rustic spaces, wildlife enthusiasts, or collectors of classic outdoor imagery.
