I see it at tractor supply. It has been running late recently.
I know the newsstands would also be late. If it goes digital I won't subscribe. I enjoy the printed version, it's relaxing to read and I don't get the same feeling looking at a computer screen. Not only that but when I buy a magazine it's my property to keep.The delayed deliveries were due to the publisher having real life get in the way. It would have been just as late at the newsstands.

Do you have an electronic subscription like the NMLRA?
We do not offer a digital subscription at this time but I am working on offering one. We will likely launch a Kickstarter campaign to see if there is enough interest to support a digital version.

FYI. When you get a pdf, you can open it whenever you want. It isn't a streaming service.Antelope Pete wrote:

Just got my JAN/FEB 2/2/24. Wonder if he can get caught up OK, but I'll keep subscribing!No January issue yet. Deja vu all over again.
I don't ever plan to not subscribe to Muzzleloader. I think its a great magazine! I also subscribed to Tomahawk and Longrifle. Its the magazine for the American Mountain Men. It's a nice magazine, but not as big as Muzzleloader. I get Muzzle Blasts also and like it too.I will definitely subscribe. I probably have 50-60 issues stacked up with certain articles flagged with "post it" notes because they are such a good reference. Isn't there a publication called "Tomahawk and Longrifle"?. I think I remember seeing it mentioned, but I have never seen one in person.
Thanks wganz. I just prefer the paper version. Maybe it's an age thing but I just have a warm fuzzy feeling with paper.Answer to my question:

Yep, my Brown Bess carbine is off into the ether waiting on that bunch to finally drag up with it.Just got mine yesterday. Everything has been slow at the USPS for the last month also.
Someone in a past post said this is happening to all magazines but I respectfully disagree with that assessment. I see this happening to magazines that have limited audiences and small staffs. Both create problems for the publisher, who may also be the editor, proof reader, layout organizer, etc. When the audience is limited, if the magazine doesn't get enough subscribers, money flow can become an issue. And, once that snowball begins to roll downhill, all sorts of other issues enter the equation; making it difficult to keep to a calendar or schedule.
Just to be clear, even with all the above, one of the reasons I stopped subscribing to the magazine was because of the constant delays. While I can be sympathetic to the woes of the publisher, I don't have to accept receiving something I already paid for months after it's due. I can understand the occasional mishap, but with Mr. Gatliff the excuses became endemic. I knew I wasn't going to change him so the only thing I could do was stop subscribing. Of course, your mileage may differ.
That's all for now. Take care and until next time...be well.

Thank you! It's a labor of love for me. I started in this sport by going to a rendezvous in 1994, I was 15. A year and a half later I had a Lyman Great Plains, a tent, clothes and a subscription to MUZZLELOADER and I started going to events all over the southeast. Never would I have imagined that I would be the owner and publisher of the magazine that inspired me so much.Well y'all publish a great magazine @Jason Gatliff, always has been, keep up the good work.
