Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters No longer with Wolfe Publishing

John, just a note of support from the great white north. Like everyone else I will be interested in where your future articles will be appearing. All the best in the future.

Jim.

I'm glad I didn't send in my renewal yet.

I try not to comment on things like this as its life and azzholes abound. But I have to here. I have not been impressed with wolfe the company, but they do have/had some good writers(or is it authors...). John you are one of the best there has been, I'll follow your writing where it takes you. As to wolfe, nope, no more.

And mudhen...you can cancel and get the money back.... just FYI.

Don`t quite know what to say.Best wishes.Huntz
PS please keep us up to date who you will write for.I cant begin to tell you how much I enjoy your writing!!!!!

When I worked in the aerospace industry in the 1960s, the old Glenn L Martin company (which the bean-counters and lawyers had shoved ol' Glenn out of) was notorious for the free and frivolous way that it shed droves of able men. Every company that I did any work for had quite a few Martin alumni � able men who'd been laid-off mere weeks before the Martin big-wigs knew that they'd soon need 'em back again.

Being from Martin was a sign of ability and accomplishment. I've often wondered how many accepted Martin's rehire offers only a few weeks after they'd been laid-off. I've always doubted that very many of their best candidates were still unemployed.

John, These guys have said it all, I agree with them 100%,, You are one of the few remaining writers who has Done it,, you talk the talk and walk the walk when it comes to shooting, reloading and hunting,, we have all learned from your work, Thank You and I will continue to enjoy your future articles wherever they come from.

WOW! They lost a good man. If not too early where are you going to settle? And where can I find Eileen's by line? Bear

John, the main reason I've continued to subscribe to Rifle is your articles. They are reasoned, well written and clearly based on solid experience - no bull has been your trademark. As many have said, it's Wolfe's loss. However, my view is that the editorial direction of both Rifle and Handloader has been clearly declining and without your presence on the staff it's only a matter of time before the inevitable happens. Good luck, talent is your personal attribute and assures your continued success. Godspeed.

Since you're at the top of your profession, you won't have any trouble finding somebody who will want to add your name and reputation to their masthead. I think that Wolfe [bleep] up when they didn't do everything possible to keep their best writer.

Jeff

What the hell? A true loss for Wolfe IMO. I really liked what you did with Successful Hunter. Seems you really turned that magazine around.

Best of luck in whatever you do next.

Mule Deer ....

As a fellow Eng. Lit. major, I've always enjoyed the craft of your excellent articles, and hope to continue reading your work for years to come. Perhaps it's time to start your own E-zine.

Happy Trails, from Interior Alaska.

Good luck wherever you land. Someone who excels in their field will always have a job so please keep us informed of your next publisher.

I guess that helps with my decision on renewing for the hardcopies! Not!! I'll stick with the cheaper online versions...

I've only started reading JB's articles relatively recently due to my perusing this site, and absolutely enjoy the information and the way he presents it. Analysis is top notch and topics are relevant. Change is often a good thing and I can relate, as I recently decided to chart another course myself. Let us know more about your future endeavors when you're ready to MD. Good fortune.

John

Everything works out for the best, It was an old outfitter-packer from Montana that taught me that. And so far he's been right. He was sort of my Norman Strung.

Onwards and upwards.

MD,

As a subscriber I am sorry to hear that . However, magazines have no feelings and as someone who liked reading your work I wish you and yours the best, my subscription be damned.

John - best of luck with your future endeavors. Wolfe certainly seems to do an excellent job of running off writers that I enjoy reading. As mentioned above, I feel that the magazines have been in decline for quite some time. You were the glue holding them together. Best, John

Well put Dakotakid
all the best to you MD

Wolfe publications is definitely diminished by your departure. I subscribe to the three magazines. This really irritates me.

When this many people have already wished you well, it's hard to come up with something halfway original. Best of luck in whatever you do. Hopefully your talents will avail themselves to us as they have in the past, and this is just a step up for you! And if you get hungry, come on out here.

JB. I'll never understand why businesses drive off their most talented. I'm sure there are stories of why to be told by Wolfe and yourself. I hope to be reading you in the future in other publications. Give yourself a sabatical (sic?) if you can.
