Best magazine to get???

[bruteman]

The "NAHC" thread got me thinking.What is the best magazine out there?
My preference is Fur Fish & Game.I also get Outdoor Life,Newfoundland Sportsman,and Outdoor Canada.Sports Afield has gone way down hill,as has Petersons.

SO...What is your favorite?

Big Buck magazine is my favorite.It is published in Western Canada,and is mostly Canadian content.

I'm havin more fun reading all the stories right here on CGN and a few American sites.

Before I got the inter(esting) web, Petersens and Fur Fish Game( very much a trappers mag), were my favorites, with Ontario Out of Doors being up there.

Rifle comes home with me every month. Sometimes I pick up the Shooting Sportsman and Duoble Gun Journal when I can find them.

I like Big Buck, Deer & Deer Hunting, and North American Whitetail.

Another vote for Big Buck (www.bigbuckmag.com) For the most part, real down to earth hunters telling their stories about the big bucks they have killed.

Once upon a time I had a boring job that allowed me to read an entire rag/day,cover to cover,and all the adds.I read so many volumes of Yankee BS during those years that it pretty much turned me completely off of outdoor rags.I stopped buying them once I finally realised that I knew more about WT hunting than most of those hacks that were re-wording the same old subjects,year after year,telling me which camo,bow or cartridge I must have to be successful.My 'ol man has subscribed to FF&G for years,so I sometimes browse through it at his house,and occassionally pick up Eastern Woods&Waters at the grocery store if the cover catches my eye?At least it covers Maritimer topics,not exotic destinations and critters(like elk and sheep,LOL)that I will likely never hunt.

Alberta Outdoorsman is a very well written Canadian publication, with stories from all over Canada, can be surprisingly good if you've never seen it. FS

I used to get RIFLE and HANDLOADER religiously..

Now that Barsnes doesn't write for them anymore, and Seyfried is long gone...Not much point unless your interests are shooting cast bullets and black powder shooting.

I am not a fan of BIG BUCK at all...I find them horrible to read. I guess the pictures are okay, but I can look at pictures all day on the intraweb if I want, when I buy a magazine, I want to actually enjoy reading it.

Thanks for that!
I used to read them all the time & was just gonna get a new prescription, I guess I'll look elsewhere.
Who makes a good rag that leans toward the what Handloader used to be

It is clear that "professional gunwriters" often use these fine pages as research tool while writing an article for a gun or hunting magazine. Enough proof of that when I read "Rifle", "Handloader" etc.

I found the combined firearms and hunting knowledge of all the readers/writers in these fine pages, more than outstrips the "professional gunwriters" knowledge.

Among others serious mistakes, lately made by "professional gunwriters":

"Rifle" magazine writer Mike Venturino wrote:

"Englands Lee-Enfield rifle factory at Long Branch", when Long Branch rifle factory always has been located, at Long Branch near Toronto. Also, Venturino claims in a recent article about the Krag rifle, "that this rifle was invented by a Dane, when it really was two Norwegian inventors, Krag and Joergensen, who invented and took out a patent of the Krag rifle in 1886.

`Rifle`gunwriter, John Haviland, `corrected`Venturino`s Krag mistake in the january issue of Rifle, and wrote that the Krag rifle was invented in Norway, but did not know that the Krag rifle was patented in 1886, and instead called the Krag, model 1992, the year it was accepted by the U.S. military.

I always look forward to the next issue of Big Buck. I get the Outdoor Edge with my MWF membership and I'll pick up Western Sportsman and Petersen's Hunting off the newsstand if they're interesting.

 

[Duk Dog]

Eastmans Hunting Journal and Eastmans Bowhunting Journal both get my vote. Also a big fan of the Bugle magazine that you get with a RMEF membership.

X3, don't forget the crappy milsurp articles that RIFLE has been putting out lately.

G&A is pretty much crap now, rifleshooter has gone downhill.

i used to read and enjoy fur, fish, game. haven't bought it in a long time as i don't see it on the newsstand often.

i often buy sports afield. IMO it would be a better magazine if they got rid of spomer. hunting the west is a good read sometimes.
