mattyg1086 52 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 I have been reading anglers mail, shooting times , and the country man's weekly for a long time off and on. I keep reading comments on earth dog running dog but have never seen it for sale. My question is what is the best magazine for someone who loves being outdoors fishing, shooting, with the dogs.

Stabs 2 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 EDRD ain't going to satisfy any fishing yearnings you might have, but if you wanr to read about any real experiences of lads digging, bushing, lamping, coursing or ferreting, then EDRD is the mag you want to read. It has recently had a re-vamp and has been invigorated. Top mag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flipper_Al 1,012 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Dont bother with the fishing magazines, there sales brochures, with the odd sponsored article 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
STRANGER 948 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Is the Johnny Bluck mag still on the go? Heard it was to have some fishing articles in it? lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hutch6 550 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Dont bother with the fishing magazines, there sales brochures, with the odd sponsored article That depends on the discipline of fishing you are following. For fly fishing buy 12 months of fly fisher/Total Fly Fisher/Fly Fisherman/ Total Trout Fishing and you have every copy of each you ever need - the same articles churned out year after year. Fly Fishing and Fly Tying is in a class of its own with great news articles, brilliant guest writers, step-by-step of innovative and classic patterns and doesn't just cover put n take puddles.

mattyg1086 52 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Thanks guys I guess what I'm after is a general country pursuits magazine for people like me who have to work and raise kids etc. But live for the precious times when we can get out and go fishing or shooting or run the dogs. And bits on food and general country living Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyg1086 52 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Maybe a new magazine called the hunting life maybe?? Which would include all the different topics of this site fishing shooting cars dogs food everything Quote Link to post Share on other sites

earth-thrower 490 Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Funnily enough, i just bought " Sporting Gun " today, ( a new one for me ) because i heard an article, i was interested in,was in it.I was pleasantly surprised,cause there was a good range of topics, and a fair amount of interesting (to the countryman) stuff.

gonetoearth 5,144 Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Mags like every thing else are shite these day. Gamekeeper and countryman magazine was the best followed by the old shooting times In its hey day and the hound magazine is about the best of todays crop glad i kept all my old ones Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marmite 19 Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Try something like a digital sub' to 'Field & Stream',yes a Yank. mag but far better value at only around a tenner per year (I think) got nothing to lose really at that price.'Shooting Times' is nothing like what it used to be years ago today and too PC for my liking & 'Countryman's Weekly' is no more that a printed bog roll and a joke in comparison to what it was like in the far off quality days of 'Shooting News'.As for fly-fishing the mentioned 'Fly Fishing & Fly Tying' is a quality mag.And I've always rated 'Trout & Salmon' but it's too expensive IMO so I knocked it on the head last year.It's a shrinking pool and it'll just get smaller I think.
