Bow hunter mag.
Well the last good bow hunting rag has finally bit the dust.
Mine came yesterday,what a joke 19 of the first 30 pages are full page adds,thats not even counting the 1/2 and 1/4 page ones on those few pages that are left. A 70 page magazine that won't take a mornings crap to read.
I know it cost money to publish a magazine but this is B.S. I'm done ,this is my last subscription. Its a real shame to see what greed is doing to hunting in general. [

RE: Bow hunter mag.
I remember way back when Field & Stream and Outdoor Life were good magazines. As a youngster, I looked forward to them coming in the mail. Lots of great stories and good reading. For some reason I can't recall, my wife just got a "complimentary" subscription to Field & Stream. I hadn't seen a copy in years. This punypublication was about 1/3 asthick as I remember them being, 70 percent ads and from my point of view, 30 percent biased opinions. It doesn't even qualify to occupya space in the magazine rack by the toilet.

RE: Bow hunter mag.
Another thing.... I haven't looked at any of the current popular mags out there, but are they as chocked full of "male enhancement" ads as the recent issues of Field & Stream are? What the heck's up with that anyway? I want to read informational articles on hunting and fishing, not see a pic of "Smilin' Bob" with his "big new swing" in life! Jeez.[:@]

I used to buy those magazines when I first started hunting and they would fill me with anticiption. Over the years I have noticed the same articles appearing over and over, ad naseum. I rarely buy any hunting magazines these days unless something just sticks out.

Deer&Deer Hunting is about the only good hunting magazine around these days.

RE: Bow hunter mag.
I've noticed over the years (I've been reading hunting/fishing mags since I was 11), that I'm starting to read articles on similar topics that have already been covered over they years (they're just rewording how they present it). I do like my Bowhunting mag, and Field and Stream for their photography, but maybe I'll give deer and deer hunting a try as it seems many of you have a lot of good things to say about it.
