hunting magazines

[M.T. Pockets]

I'm afraid I've all but given up on all of them. Field & Stream got in your face with Dave Petzal's imitation of Don Rickles in the editorial page. Peterson's Hunting has turn over to almost all new writers from the ones I liked years back (Sitton, Boddington, Coogan). Sports Afield went wishy washy a few years back. Even Bugle Magazine from the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation is a little to "warm & fuzzy" for me. Too many stories like "What does an elk feel when he is being hunted". And earlier there were too many "lets make room for the wolf" stories. That's changing a little.

Anyway, I should get down off my cynical soap box and remember happier days in my youth reading Jim Charmichel, Ed Zern, Gene Hill......
