Ha! It’s from a newspaper. For whatever reason, the newspaper is printed in color, but most of the pictures related to stories are B&W. Of course almost all the advertisements are in color.

Many newspaper photos are still in black & white.

“When was that picture taken, 1942 ?”

From the gear being used, it appears to be quite recent. Notice the stainless rifle barrel, the nylon sling, the camouflage composite stock on the rifle. All of those things are pretty recent.

I suspect that the hunt occurred this year. The story was not covered anywhere else, because no reporters were contacted.

The Lonestar Publication must be doing pretty well. At least the editor/author of the article is.

Two years ago, he went on a bow hunting safari to Africa, the latest of several African safaris.
