I guess maybe it is a sign of the times, a sad one if you ask me. A while back some of you posted about the treatment you recieved from 'Buckmaster' with their bogus video series and subscription plot. When I read that post I just shook my head in disgust.

Guess what! In the mail yesterday came a video from 'Bowhunter' magazine with an attached letter stating I was a "special subscriber" and therefore deserved "special treatment" (yeah right). In the nutshell it says here is a video for your entertainment but if you want to keep it send us $7.00, then every 2-3 months you will be getting another video at regular subscriber rates (pretty smooth eh!)

Perhaps I should state that the only reason I am so shocked by this marketing ploy are the people who are attached to this garbage. M.R. James, Dwight Schuh, Larry Jones, are (or should I say were) three of the most respected names in bowhunting circles. Why would they allow their image to be used in a marketing scheme for the obvious purpose of getting into the pockets of fellow hunters like a traveling snake oil salesman.

Tell me I am over reacting but I'm sorry, I have better things to do than run around returning videos that I didn't ask for in the first place. You can bet that my subscription to 'Bowhunter' is as good as gone.
