Thanks for the feedback!!! Yes, you are right about advertising. Count the pages of advertising in most issues. It's a very high ratio. Come on Viagra ads, please. These ads have nothing to do with outdoor sports.LOL Also, I'm a student. My spelling and grammar can be checked with the click of a button. I know the morals of outdoor writing, and the manner in which it is written. I'm looking at what the average joe sportsman is looking for. You know the guy who makes up 90% of the outdoorsmen.

Hey, if you don't want to take advice from an outdoor writer, then such is life. No skin off my back.
But if you are going to make a go at it, an attitude adjustment is in order. Don't rely on a computer to fix errors, you'll be humiliated when your article goes in print, or hits the desk of an editor.
And Viagara ads...think about it.....the average age of hunters in America is in the high 40's. That means a large portion of them are OVER 40, which Viagara provides a service to.
I especially like your quote in bold here. If you know this, why did you ask these questions?
The average sportsman idea is easy to theorize, but impossible to get a tangible answer on. No publication will 100% meet the demands of their base. That is simple logic. A good way to see what the average sportman wants is to look at any of the subscription based publications that have a solid base. D&DH, FFG, F&S, and others.... Remember like I said....It is not 100%.
