Following on from the CMW post.....do many lads/lasses buy this magazine on here,I've had it since first issue,it was a good read,it's not bad now but nothing like it used to be,paul Dooley pens a good article

[paulus 26]

only as good as the articles it receives, anybody can write these days, put pen to paper or finger to keyboard and send it in, never understand this better or worse with a publication that is purely reliant on its readers for the content. Are they saying that the people involved in our sport nowadays are not as good as those of the past

[Waz 4,293]

Havent had it in maybe 4 or 5 years, got bored of reading a Mr. Mitty.

Now and again id go back and re-read issues from the start, not that long ago, but seems a world away!

 

Was it Suffolk Bill or sommat, great read.

Good read - I like to see the big brown envelope through the letterbox every month!

Slightly off topic and apologies for that but as Fat Ferret says was a great feeling when your magazine of choice arrived in the mail, I mind when I used to get the SDJ sent to me in Oz I was like a dog with two dicks for a couple of days....my old dad used to say FFS it's only a book about dogs lol, God rest him.

no but things have changed and we would be fools too think not ,...the mentality of country living has changed , not by those who hold it but the others who are against country pursuits,...its getting harder every year

some parts of England are based on solely hunting , especially with hounds , now many years before the hunting act the articles would be written more openly as too acts of that written day , but now as openly as mr harcombe lets them articles too be is his discretion ,

and as much as I hate it you aint going too get the detailed pre ban articles where it was lawful too dig and kill with hounds / dogs,..........this world is fooked and sadly so,

people see you out with lurchers your poaching ,..

out with terriers your badgerbaiting , this is the mentality of modernization

you can do what you want , whever writing or hunting but it isn't as free as it use too be , were more aware of what we write and what we do , stay within the law and keep hunting

All the more reason to support the publications we have left, without support they to will be resigned to the history books, the future of the field-sport magazines we have left are entirely in the hand of the people who it tries to represent, by not supporting them you are giving the unwashed exactly what they want without having to lift a finger.

paulas that's obvious I was stating the fact of difference , due too the times, that was the topic starter ? , ifor one am a subscriber , was just stating fact,

just stating a fact that if any publication does not get a following then it will go out of business, both EDRD & CMW are only able to be produced because of the content that they receive from there readers. never understand how people can moan about the author/subject or whatever else when they can do something about it themselves without refusing to support it. self defeating comes to mind, yes i have issues with some things that have been published in the past and probably will in the future, but i would rather complain to the publication than stop supporting it. rant over lol

[MR TEA POT 1,287]

I still subscribe,it is still a good mag,got the full set from issue one. I might put pen to paper one day not sure what to write about though ?
