In 1959 the Ohio Department of Natural Resources wrote to Roy Rogers and requested color transparencies of him posing with one or two of their hunting safety posters.  Rogers' Publicity Director Carl Schroeder replied in a December 7, 1959 letter that Rogers was happy to pose for the pictures, and "in the field of sports [Rogers] knew of no cause more important than your campaign for safe hunting.” Cover of The Ohio Conservation Bulletin, Volume 24, Number 1, January 1960, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Archive, Autry Library, Autry National Center; T2010-28.
