I thought some people might like to know that as of this morning I am no longer working for Wolfe Publishing, either as a writer or editor. Several other magazines are interested in publishing my articles, however.

That is awful news. However, for whatever reason, it's their loss. You're simply the best in the business, and you'll have a loyal following wherever you write. I'll subscribe just to read your work, even if it's Reader's Digest, and I'm sure there will be a gazillion other loonies that will join me.

That's bad news for Wolfe as you certainly were "the anchor" for their success. I will be interested to see what direction you strike out in. Maybe total freelance? Keep us posted.

If you're taking requests, I'd like a coffee-table book on rifles as a companion to "Shotguns for Wingshooting."

Mule Deer, I am sorry to hear that. I hope that whatever happened, you were at least able to leave on your own terms.

Certainly Wolfe's loss as far as I'm concerned.

Sorry to hear that you left. The reason I subscribed to Wolf Publication was because I enjoyed what you were saying here at the campfire. I will be looking forward to see who will be publishing your work.

Geesh, John. You were one of the reasons why I (and many others) subscribed to Rifle and Handloader. No doubt a man with your talent and experience will bring his "customers" with him. Without knowing any details, no doubt their loss and your gain. Good luck with future endeavors, but then again your a man that makes his luck.
Faith and love of others knows no mileage nor bounds. That's simply the way it is.

I can imagine all kinds of good reasons for this parting of ways, of course. I had plenty of good reasons to leave when I did ( 1983!), as well as plenty of good reasons to feel relieved and liberated afterward � which I hope you feel too.  Like Boston or New York City, Wolfe Publishing is a good place to be from. All the best to you 'n' yourn, now 'n' ever, Amigo!

The only reason I subscribe to the Wolfe publications is so I can read Mule Deer's stuff. John, let me know where to find your articles in the future so I can drop my subscriptions to the Wolfe publications and subcribe to wherever you move to next. Oh yeah, did I mention that I detest Dave Scovils writing.

JB, Thanks for the "heads up". Would appreciate any advance notice of your future published work so that I can check it out. Wish I could quit my job sometimes.  "When one door is closed, another is open"

Like most jobs I've had. I needed it when I got it but when I left it was time to go. I hope it works the same for you. I think it may be time to re-invent yourself anyway. Working for a magazine company in the age of the internet is like building record players in the age of the compact disk.
I wish you all the best!

Damn! Just renewed all three! We'll miss you and it will be interesting to see how the publications evolve over the next year...
Good luck in your future ventures (not that you really need any luck).

Does that mean the Montana elk hunt with you is off the table? Not that I would really win...
