I remember that same article!
I used to buy FF&G off the rack at the supermarket but they no longer carry it. Seems like a lot of hunting/firearms related pubs are no longer there.Only one I still get every issue of is Fur Fish & Game.
When your batteries die in your electronic thingy, good old paper still works.I grew up reading Outdoor Life, Field and Stream and Sports Afield and continued subscribing for many years, but eventually let them lapse because they dumbed them down so much and the quality of the writing became so poor. Just glossy pics, "where to go" articles and the writers pimping high tech stuff. The only mags in a print format that I subscribe to now are Muzzleloader and Traditional Bowhunter. Curious about the rest of you. Always looking for suggestions.
Many have commented on the flood of plastic pistols; I like all types so I get many magazines.Muzzleloader
Muzzle Blasts
Wild Sheep
Epic Outdoors
Agree with others that Outdoor Life, F&S, etc have gotten too watered down and simplistic. Made another run at Guns and Ammo couple of years ago, but it’s just massively repetitive with polymer pistols and AR’s.
I started subscribing to Backwoodsman in about 1981 faithfully every year I wrote Charlie a letter with my subscriptionI’ve quit magazines. I was a long time subscriber to the Backwoodsman. They would have muzzleloader and firearms articles in every issue. They featured self sufficient and survival articles plus tons of DIY. Just before the founder turned it over to Junior it started to change. By the time the founder died it was a different magazine altogether. Finally they priced me out of their market. It was a case of diminishing returns. The more it cost the less I got out of i
When I was a kid I couldn't afford magazines,my cousin would give me his old FFG I ate up every articleOnly one I still get every issue of is Fur Fish & Game. Been "reading" it since before I could read as a little feller. One article I remember the most was written about a guys grandma. How she would shoot squirrel with a small caliber ML and make squirrel gravy for the kids. She used homemade powder, and only would shoot them off the sides of trees, so she could dig the ball out with her pocket knife. Spark was lit, I own 4 small caliber ML's . And yes, I did snap the tip off of a pocket knife once trying to dig a ball out of an oak tree.
