RangerClay Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Re: Best NY deer magazine?? Hi Swampy! I like New York Outdoor News. It comes every two weeks.

Doc Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Re: Best NY deer magazine?? I also like New York Outdoor News. They are super timely on their news articles and very detailed. Plus the twice a month publication makes it seem like I am always getting one everytime I turn around. Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Re: Best NY deer magazine?? [ QUOTE ] Thanks Ranger! I have also heard of NY Sportsman?? Something along that line I think?? [/ QUOTE ] I had a subscription to that for several years. It got boring after a while. Seemed like they recycled articles every three years. I can only read "The top 10 ways to catch a bass" only so many times. I dumped it after 4 or 5 years. Good luck with your search Ranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Re: Best NY deer magazine?? New York Sportsman no longer exists..I used to get it. There is New York Game & Fish which mostly tells you of various locations in NY state for hunting and fishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYBUCK Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Re: Best NY deer magazine?? Ken, Do you have any at newsstands by you ??? I am not a big fan of NY Game and Fish but only because too much fishing. There hunting articles are good but I usually just buy it when I see a good one on the rack.

[ QUOTE ] New York Outdoor news is very good if you want to read very narrow minded people voice their opinions. [/ QUOTE ] There is a whole lot more to that paper than just the editorials. Most of it is some very current, interesting and informative info that should be of interest to any NY sportsman who wishes to stay updated on issues of NY hunting, fishing and trapping. Yes, on the editorial page you will read some opinions that may just offend the heck out of you. However, that is no different than any of the internet forums like this one. Besides, sometimes it is good to hear the other side of some of the issues. I usually learn a whole lot more from an article that is contrary to my opinion than I do from articles that totally agree with my views.

Adjam5 Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Re: Best NY deer magazine?? I recieved a free preview of the New York outdoor news back in the start of when it came out. The 1st issue. I chose not subscribe because the editor advocated wearing ORANGE FOR BOWHUNTERS! BOWHUNTERS!!! As we say in lower NYS FUHGEDABOUDIT! That turned me off right off the bat to this mag. I can see the orange campaign for gun sports, but for Bowhunters? PUHLEEESE! Anyone who has bowhunted knows the benefit of full camo. Orange has NO place in Bow hunting IMO. Sure there is more than the editors opinions in it, but I do not have to pay for peoples opinions on this or any other BB, those I get for free, unlike that magazine you have to pay for. For up to the minute info I log on to the DEC's site. I get it from the horse's mouth without opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I am no proponent of wearing orange if you don't choose to, but you are forgetting that when you are archery hunting in NY State there are "other seasons" open for those who carry firearms. It is to keep archers safe from others, not from themselves. Like I said though, I am not in favor of making it a law, although I do choose to wear an orange hat into my stand and back while archery hunting.

Rut-Nut Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Re: Best NY deer magazine?? I'm not a New Yorker, but I get Pa Outdoor News and LOVE IT!!!!!!! Same Mag as NY OUTdoor news, just different local stuff. I love the combination of NEWS and hunting/fishing articles. I don;t think it's narrow minded at all. they always present MANY different opinions of the topics. I only get one subscription, and it is Pa OUtdoor news! I do buy Pa Game and fish if the issue looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETMGROW Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Re: Best NY deer magazine?? You might want to check out a copy of "Deer And Deerhunting" magazine. While this is a national publication some of the articles are written by Charles Alsheimer who lives in Steuben Co. NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LETMGROW Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 Re: Best NY deer magazine?? I also subscribe to " Outdoor News " and just reupped. Some of the articles are good, but I wish the editor would lighten up a little on NY DEC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 Re: Best NY deer magazine?? Even the NY DEC needs to have their feet held to the fire occasionally. Actually, I haven't noticed any over-whelming anti-DEC editorial bias. Perhaps some of the letters to the editor get a bit carried away at times, but the articles that I've seen so far don't really pan the DEC all that much. Actually, since a lot of their material comes from DEC sources, it would be a bit unwise to be bad-mouthing them. Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
