No, the Game news is not what it once was. Thats for sure. I have most months from the 60's through the 80's at my camp and the old ones still get read frequently.

RE: PA Game News Subscriptions...FUNDRAISER!
 

No it isn't quite the same and I've been reading them regularlysince the late 50s/early 60s. It's muchbetter now. Tweeties or flowers on the cover don't me a'tall.

Generally scan the shooting column now that Don Lewis is gone, then theField Notes. Usually the first lengthy part I read first, is Bob Sopchick's offering. Also like the stories that "rank and file" hunters send in.

I like bob sopchick.For awhile there I felt like they were getting away from hunting and focusing on other critters a bit too much.I do enjoy reading about birds and other non hunting critters but hunting should remain the main focus.

Game news is a good read, I like sopchick very much. I didn't renew when they cut all the free issues to schools and libraries. When I was growing up I could always know I could could check out the new game news in the school library. It's the reason I wanted to subcribe after graduating high school. I like it very much. It's a real shame to know that kids won't have that same opportunity I did when in school to be able to "escape"by reading their game news in their school library. I understand, it was very costly, but I still feel bummed and also think they will miss out on alot of exposure from the younger crowd. Anyway, great magazine, but why cut all the schools and libraries copies? Won't the kids buy it in the future, like myself? Sorry, just my opinion.

Same here on Bob Sopchick. Great writer and great artist.

They cut freeschool subscriptions in the first "wave" of budget cuts almost two years ago and also dropped free subscriptions for farm-game cooperators (public access to private land program). I think most schools got their subscriptions covered by sportsmen's clubs, so they're still getting PGNews for free. Our club picked up3 yearsubscriptions for five or six schools when the PGCquit supplying them for free.

I heard a "RUMOR" at one time that some schools were actually tossing out the free issues and not putting them in their libraries. I don't know what kind of scale this was supposed to happen, but the woman who mentioned it to me had no reason to make up a story.

Given the anti-hunting and anti-gunattitudes of many teachers and school administrators, wouldn't surprise me ifsome of themthoughtPGNews didn't belong in a classroom or school library. We could inquire about it, but none of us can walk into a school library to see if the Game News is there or not. I know they wereinour schoolsup until a few years ago,when a friend of mine was stillthe superintendent, because he is a life-long hunter.

Talked to a young girl yesterday at the Eastern Sports and Outdoors show, who stopped by the NRA booth with her parents. Her dad mentioned a problem she'd had with a teacher, concerning one question on a quiz about safety. The question was about whether it was safer to have a gun in the house, or more dangerous. The girl answered thatit was safer, the teacher scored it as a wrong answer.She and I had alengthy discussion about hercontention that the teacher had scored her quiz incorrectly.

There's at least one morefamily that still cares about such things. :)

It's a shame what the schools aren't teaching the kids. They certainly have agendas. To bad more parents didn't take notice and stop the indoctrination of kids in some schools.

RE: PA Game News Subscriptions...FUNDRAISER!
 

Keeping Game News in theschools is one small step towards keeping children informed and countering the anti-hunting sentiment so prevalent in our educations systems these days.

Another important factor, is the growth of youth shooting programs. Programs sponsored by 4H, NRA and theAmerican Legion are enjoying an upsurge in many areas. Despite all the anti-gun and anti-hunting propaganda they're exposed to, kids are still being taught how to shoot.

That they and their parents support4H/NRA/Legionshooting programs, is one bright spot on the horizon. The Game Commission's YHEC challenge is another, as many of the same kids participate in both.
