Perhaps this has been done before, but I haven't seen it. Given this is the board for the Outdoorsmen and we are all probably regular readers, I'm curious as to what people like or would like to see changed about the magazine. Who knows, maybe the publisher would like to see it too!
Not interested in having particular columnists slagged, just general impressions please.
Pro
I love that it's a magazine focused on Alberta. Directly relevant. I just don't get off that much on mags with articles about hunting in places I'll never go or on game I'll never take aim at. I also like that I may be exchanging ideas here with many of the columnists. Most seem pretty down to earth and relatively reasonable. Good to have some regulatory stuff here to keep me up to date too. Oh, and love that they support this board!
Con
A bit TOO MUCH regulatory and legal stuff for ME (granted, maybe not for you. Just my preference). I get it that some columnists revile the registry or have continual issues with the govt ministry. I may agree totally with them, but I get sort of bored reading the same issues hashed over and over again, just with the words arranged differently. Not that interested in seeing more pictures of Ted Morton. The only other Alberta focused mag I am aware of, the Game Warden, takes a similar slant (different opinions of course, but primarily legal/regulatory). I'd REALLY love an Alberta mag that was, say, at least 75% about actual hunting (actual hunting, guns, the like, maybe a little UPLAND hint hint)... the how's, the where's in Alberta. Haven't found one yet.
