Print edition is done from what i have heard.. They are gonna have there annual "Gear Issue" but that is it.. Kinda sad I have stacks of them, alot is repetitive written in a different way, but still better than the general hunting magazines.. Forums and the internet have killed print media.

Shame, it has been the best magazine out there dedicated to turkey hunting for quite a few years.  ;)

Like the other above me in this thread, I sure do miss it.  I was a subscriber since it was "The Turkey Hunter" magazine.

As much as everyone hates them, its all about the Ads.. I pointed out well before it was done the lack of ads and new it was coming, especially in off season issues, from half and full page color ads to the small classified type pages in the back with some calls and outfitters etc..

The internet has killed and will further kill print media.. Turkey hunters today have forums, web blogs, online versions and essentially every call company, outfitter etc has websites to educate on their offerings..

you are absolutely correct.  Being a Tech person, you'd think I would be all for the digital success, but I still enjoying picking up a magazine and reading it.  Things were so much simpler back in the good ole days!!!!

Digital is so much cheaper and easier to distribute.  Darn you Internet  *peep*
