Do what ya want! Ya will anyway.
I don't mind being a Salmon and swimming against the current, So I don't mind saying that I enjoy nearly all of the magazines. I don't necessarily buy them all but generally think they are a good read. My other hobby is muscle cars, now I read all of those magazines as well. I may not agree with everything written in every article but it is a subject I enjoy reading about it regardless of the articles viewpoint.
Hunters are all different, have different viewpoints, ethics and methods they like to use. No article is going to cater for every taste. And remember besides the regular contributors and the editors reviews, the stories are sent in by "Average Joe's" who are giving a go at writing about their hobbies or trip. I think good on them and if they have taken quite a few hours writing about their story to fiordland/stewart island/southern alps then it doesn't hurt to read it.
I would rather have magazines on the shelf covering my favourite pastime than them all to be removed because some people think they are crap!
bloody oath Kudu, have had two years subscription to NZ hunter and I look forward to it arriving, as someone said great for passing time on the dunny, also great to ear opinions on things and build the knowledge base, doesn't necessarily mean you take it as gospel.
I wonder if this will be like a gun city thread that everybody will bag the shit out of them cos it's fashionable to do so be but secretly by stuff from. Personally I don't mind the hunting/shooting magazines. I regularly by nz guns n hunting off n on the Nz outdoors n sometimes though very rarely Greg duleys masterpiece NZ hunter for the plain fact I get something out of it and quite often sporting shooter just because I can.

There does seem to be an awful lot of that sort of carry on between us hunters doesnt there? Same goes for guys bagging other guys about shooting velvet stags.....
I bought one issue of NZ Outdoor Hunting becuase they were running a competition I thought i might like to enter, but after the date of the competition being "drawn" and not seeing the names of any winners in the issue where they had supposed to have been announced I emailed them to enquire and recieved no reply, seems like it was just a bit of a have to get people to buy the magazine.
Obviously rhe guys that produce it are fellow hunters and maybe some constructive feedback to the editor would be welcomed by them?
I buy them all off the shelf when home a couple times a year.
It's the only bit of sanity I get when working away from home.
Yes some of the articles don't do it for me.
But some stories are well done.
Love walking my gun
I used to buy them every month but now only if i am down at the store and have a quick browse and see an article or test that interests me.
I enjoy gillies articles as thats one of my interests.

I don't buy them to often. I used to but never turn down a free copy and im not one to read them front to back either but if I see a familiar face or something I maybe interested in I will read it more just browse through them looking at what animals have been hunted who's doing it and were what's new to the market ect so I don't mind them
If theres lead in the air theres hope

Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts
I got a years free Rod and Rifle subscription once. By chance it had all the Wap blocks so was a good score. Don't buy them otherwise. @Pointer just pinch's them anyway hahahahahaha jokes bro![]()
