Eps 379: Ron Talks Sports Afield

[@barryhill6482]

I have been subscribed to Sports Afield forever. Always enjoyed the stories and the quality of the print itself.

Oldest, best hunting mag. Grew up reading Sports Afield, Outdoor Life, and Hunting, Fish and Game mag. Loved all 3 since 1984

Definitely not the first Big Horn to fall by way of the '06. Great job Diana! Great Magazine too. Good luck on that Desert Big Horn tag.

[@timothycarey3509]

Very nicely done. Thanks!

Pennsylvania is such a wonderful place full of wonderful people,,I’ve never been there but maybe someday

[@VincentJaconski]

I can round up Whitetail, Wild Turkey, Black bear, and many other small game . Western NY, Finger lake Region, Dad owns 100 acres.

That was fun!! Thanks Mr Ron !

[@vincethewoodlander]

I like print. A trip taken through good print is like sound experienced on vinyl. It can excite all the senses, imagination and requires participation while video sometimes feels like it spoon feeds inadequate nutrition.

[@RonSpomerOutdoors-Podcast]

Spoon feeds inadequate nutrition! I like that analogy.

[@vincethewoodlander]

@@RonSpomerOutdoors-Podcast thank you. That was the only way I could describe it.

[@johnt34aus]

Did anyone mention the photos?! They are glorious!!!👍

Ron, great news! I got drawn for the Veteran’s Hunt in Northern Missouri for early November. Pushing 50 and finally going on my first deer hunt. If my upper gets here in time, I will probably use a 450 BM. If it doesn’t, then I have a choice between 350 Legend, 6.5 Grendel, or your favorite, the 308. All of these are modern sporting rifles that I have built. The 308 is likely to be my last choice as I should not need to take any long range shots and that bad boy weighs 14 lbs unloaded. Pretty stoked, wish me luck. I have to take 2 antlerless before I am allowed to take a buck and only have a day and a half to get all three.

666 views. I had to change that to 667. Great video and content as always. Keep up the great work bringing the experience and knowledge.

My dad's favorite magazine back in the 50s. That was up in Pennsylvania.... I don't see it available down here in Virginia, now.

[@michaelwilson9986]

Go by a good book store with a excellent magazine rack.or Bass Pro Shops

[@alanmurray3624]

It's all about $$$$$$$$$$. Kids can't afford to hunt anymore.

[@RonSpomerOutdoors-Podcast]

That's a big part of it, but not all of it. Kid's cant' FIND a place to hunt anymore. How many living in suburbia can walk out the backdoor with a rifle or shotgun as I did as a teen and hunt rabbits, squirrels, pheasants, or ducks? Even adults have to drive hours, sometimes days to reach suitable hunting habitat. There are literally millions of acres of public lands open to free hunting, but they aren't in suburban Denver, Salt Lake, Indianapolis, Tucson, Minneapolis...

[@michaelmeyers1827]

I want your book on hunting varmints

[@robfarris4849]

Not me I'm a big got. Later

[@hughswanzy8871]
