In Western Canada in areas served by Save-On Foods, magazine racks still exist and firearms and hunting magazines are not discriminated against. However, unless your interests are limited to fishing, trophy white-tail hunting, or guided hunts, you won’t find a single article of interest in any of them.
In forums such as this one, groups of upland hunters, lovers of “best” guality guns, and those who simply appreciate the sophisticated designs that double guns have achieved, can be found. Wherever they are found, it is clear from the discussions that these groups are full of people passionate about their preferred pastimes. They (we) constantly buy and sell guns - always looking for a better fit or a smoother swing. One is never enough; there’s always one more model, maker, or load to try. Great sums are spent on shells, reloading equipment, and accessories, not to mention travel. We are even prepared to spend on site memberships and periodicals.
In preparation for hunting season, hunters of both upland and migratory species are scouring the shelves for just the right loads. They need boots specific to the type of hunting and the terrain, moisture-wicking pants and jackets that breathe, water packs - even the right hat.
All of the above only touches on the insatiable need double gunners have for stories, facts, guns, supplies, and accessories that are rarely directly served. Even gun and hunting magazines seldom devote a story to our subjects of interest.
The DGJ was a breath of fresh air in an industry apparently blind to a large portion of their market.
