I think one reason you don't see many "hunting stories" in magazines anymore is because we see so many here on the 24HCF and other internet sites; one can view them at any time.

Our deer season here is much later than many parts of the country, yet I get to read and see all types of hunts.

Don't get me wrong, gunwriters have some fantastic stories, but a few gunwriters can't touch the numerous hunts by even more people.

I will say I "discovered" shrapnel and some guy at Capitol Sports in Helena even through "equipment" articles, so the personal accounts are still there.

But I've learned more about how deplorable they can be in real life, on the internet......I've even met some of them, which is far better than any story.
