RE: Bow hunter mag.
I began subscribing to Deer and Deer Hunting back when it was Stumpsitters and was in newspaper format. I still enjoy it, although its gone downhill a little over the past couple of years.
I dropped Bowhunter over 5 years ago, and OL and F&S even before that.
If you tore out all the ads and rehashed articles that are merely a repeat of the same info of several months before, you'd have a 4 or 5 page magazine.
With the amount and quality of information, both technical and hunting related that one can garner from the web these days, publications are on the way out.
This site is a good example of how technical information, hunting experiences, success stories, and practical or anecdotal information can be shared.
