Fur-Fish-Game is the only magazine I subscribe nowadays, and worth reading in my opinion. No digital for me, it is definitely not the same as touching and reading a real paper one. Thank you Ron for allowing us to learn some great information in all subjects

sad to see the demise of an awesome magazine

I liked the format of the magazine during the 50's, 60's and 70's. The old Klein's adds and the classified adds in the back. Great writers, stories and articles. I buy the old magazines on Ebay. Fun to read the old stories and even the adds are interesting.

Great podcast Ron. People don't realize how important hunting is as a food source. Organic meat is the best!

No matter the subject i always enjoy the content and your take on things. Don't get to hunt much anymore so listening keeps the fire kindled. Thanks

Ron - great podcast, as always. I especially appreciate your discussion about the future of hunting and conservation. Just a suggestion: it might be worth having Shane Mahoney on your show. A show dedicated to the future of conservation would be a winner in my book. Mike in Florida

I still like having a good magazine to read by my reading chair on hunting, guns, and gear. It's sad to see them go away. At least I got my American hunter, American Rifleman, field and stream, and others still.

Hunting has become an elite class activity / Wealthy folks will always have more of everything including hunting opertunities ....Kids raised hunting grow up and continue to hunt! Kids raised in the city tend to remain in the city...

Agree 100%. Availability of a place to hunt is rapidly vanishing for most.

Great look into how a publication works. I hope that we get some young people into writing for them. That’s not to say the “old” guys aren’t appreciated, but we need to keep it going. Great video!

The loss of small family farms has done a lot of harm to hunting. I'm in my mid 60's and when I was a kid, most every family had a close relative who owned land they could hunt on. Many such as my family lived on a small farm. Kids got to start hunting as soon as they could safely handle a gun. And while we didn't have huntable numbers of deer or turkeys, we had all kinds of small game and upland birds. That let kids hunt on their own without adults. Nowadays most of those farms have been sold and merged into large row crop farms or housing. The large farms tend to clear out every old fencerow and the cover for game is stripped away - if the small farm is turned into a sub-division, obviously the hunting is over. End result of all this limited habitat is that hardly any kid can just head out the backdoor with a 22 after school to shoot some squirrels. Hunting involves an hour or two of driving and has to be planned weeks in advance. Obviously, an adult has to drive the kid on a hunt like that. Often it costs maybe thousands of $'s to Lease a place to hunt. As a result, informal small-game hunting has all but died. Hunts tend to be much more high pressure, and a kid has to jump on the Tread Mill at full speed and kill a trophy buck. Sure lots of Fathers will say they will let the kid shoot and deer they want but they will say at the same time that they "hope" he will learn soon to pass on young bucks. What the kid hears is that shooting anything buy a trophy makes you an inferior hunter. I don't know the answer to it either. You have to have a place to hunt and only the wealthy can afford to buy land just to hunt because farmers have learned they can sell what used to be "Trash" land for a lot of money to a hunter. Hopefully availability of public hunting land will increase but that's never going to allow the kind of informal "kid hunting" I knew and loved. So many hunters are competitive about deer hunting and they won't allow other hunters to hunt any way that they don't approve of.

After some years reading petersen's hunting in its digital platform, I subsrcibed back to the printed version, which I find more pleasant to read and browse. In my opinion, one of the main disadvantages of a digital publication is that once you read it probably it will get lost in a pile of apps. Actually, I also remember articles I read from old magazines than the newer articles being recently published in the latest editions of outdoor magazines.

Oregons tag draws are ridiculous. I'm a born and raised Oregonian and I haven't drawn a deer tag in 4 years. This is so frustrating. It seems as though I'm getting screwed. No one seems to know how the draw works.

So does that mean your not allowed a deer at all? Australia has shitty firearms laws but least we can hunt all year round and don't have to go into a draw

@@paulcox9366 It's basically a game of chance. You put in for 5 different hunts and then they have some kind of a computer drawing. So if you don't get lucky you done hunt that critter. I did get an Elk tag. We can still buy bear and cougar tag without drawing.

THANKS, RON. FYI/IMHO: I USED TO SUBSCRIBE TO SEVERAL MAGAZINES,... BUT, OVER THE YEARS, I STOPPED, ALL TOGETHER,... I COULDN'T STAND TRYING TO FIND THE RANDOMLY BROKEN ARTICLES, BETWEEN ALL OF THE PAGES OF ADVETISEMENTS,.... FOR THE SAME REASON, I DON'T OWN, NOR WATCH A TV, NOR LISTEN TO RADIO.... BECAUSE I CAN'T STAND THE BARAGE OF COMMERCIAL ADS.... I'M DONE WITH "COMMERCIALS, ADS, AND "B.S."!!!!!!! LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO WASTE ON THAT CRAP... NOW, I'LL JUST RELAX, READING OLD BOOKS.... STORIES OF THE FRONTIER DAYS, AND SURVIVORS OF INDIAN ATTACKS, CAPTIVES, AND EARLY EXPLORERS...

I grew up on outdoor life, sports afield and field and stream...the old magazines were excellent but by the 80's and on they were stale corporate rags that were always disappointing with no real information and the same boring ads and corporate sponsored articles that were always the same too...basically, completely worthless and dull. I read stuff from time to time in their online stuff and watch their videos occasionally and they are more corporate and stiff staler than ever. Don't delete this comment...take it as constructive criticism...quit being stuff shirt corporate advertising vehicles...do something interesting again that is interesting to real hunters not the mindless corporate consumer hunters that the corporations want to mold everyone into and that the vast majority want nothing to do with.

In the surf world we still have a mag that has no ads. Its around $100 for a year, 12 issues. Amazing photos and the greatest stories of old times. It shits on the corporate mags that are left. It can be done, and folks will pay for the quality and glory of a dieing culture.

I have a question. Why must everybody have a muzzle brake these days? I've shot eight pound .340 Weatherbys and seven pound 7mm STW,s without brakes for years with no Ill effect. If I build a precision rifle do i need a brake on a 10 pound 6.5 Creedmore to protect me from the horrific recoil I'm going to expose my fragile body and gentle psyche too?
