Mate I haven't picked up a hunting magazine in years. I used to subscribe to a couple but they lost me as an audience due to sameness between editions.

you lads should have a look at the hunting mags in the uk, you only think your ones are bad

It wasn't mine. But where I am staying has a few lying around for people to browse.
The 2 mins of silence I get out of flicking thru one always leaves me feeling pretty remorseful and a bit cheap.😆

Maybe the recent clean out of staff may make it better?
But somehow how I doubt it.

Have never read it, didn't know it existed till now, what is wrong with it?

Maybe someone could start a thread about what we like/want/don't like in a hunting mag, and then deliver the findings to those that make the things.

Its good for "dunny" reading though. Dual purpose even, in emergencies

Better off with a dock leaf that shiny paper is shit useless.I thought I was the only that didn't get anything out of those mags ,bit like the fishing shows on Saturday."This is what we caught " not how ,what bait ,tide etc or a GPS mark.
May as well keep learning how my way & some times I get lucky.

I stopped reading it when they started doing stories of canned hunts. But yeah as above, I haven't brought a hunting magazine in years, they're all the same

Ditto.

It's all of them really. They are somewhat repetitive as Rushy mentioned as well. My pet hate is seeing strokefest pics.

I like to think my son has been brought up hunting and fishing with sound guidance so that he can enjoy the outdoors and shooting if he wishes to, with a wee head start for the future.
He has seen shitloads of animals, alive and dead. He has been hunting with some well grounded people.
He is 100 times the marksman I was at his age.

Yet unfortunately he reads some of these mags. (I will pierce my pecker with a rusty self tapping hexhead, if ya ever find one in my house&#128518
And takes a lot of the stuff in them as gospel. They must know more than you and such and such coz they write for a magazine.

I should swat up on some Playstation mags so I can pass on some annoying advice.

Weird I was thinking about this very subject last night.

It must be a tough industry when competing with free online information/data bases etc and the number of magazines being purchased would surly be in decline because of it?

Most of my interest is in new equipment not so much story's.

A review on a Tikka T3 in 243 is a bit ho hum this day and age..my pet hate is misleading titles..against my better judgement I buy thinking it will be different each time..."What to look for in a Suppressor" translates to a story about an ASE..

That magazine is easily the worst,surprised it`s still on the market!
Last time I looked at one it was mostly stories like "Uncle Bob and Cousin Dick go deer shooting" with too much swearing,references to drinking and some really shocking gory photos that should not have been published IMO.
Our local Public Library was getting it for their magazine rack.Had a chat with the head librarian and now they subscribe to Rod and Rifle instead.
Personally like NZ Guns & Hunting for the test reviews and ads. I don`t read the hunting stories.
