quirky magazine started five years ago in Charleston....kind of a Gray's Sporting Jounal crossed with Southern Living....gun, hunting, fishing, football, southern food and crafts and conservation. not going to find a recipe for a new .223AI load, but this month has an article on star gun engraver Lisa Tomlin with some nice photos of her work, a story about an outfit trying to get wild quail reestablished in huntable numbers on their place in South Carolina, and interview with my neighbor Olivia Manning, and a very funny article by my friend (and partner's wife) Julia Read about super deer and taxidermy, which is worth the price for the description of the taxidermy themed party she threw in Shelby Foote's family's home to console her friends who were cheated of a big party when she called offa planned wedding.
in an age when print magazines are dying off, this little gem is one I look forward to every month, and it is doing very well in the south and even in less civilized areas.
the name is kind of an inside Charleston joke....there was a great bar there thirty years ago called the Garden and Gun Club.

Cool magazine. I'd looked over a few copies at Dr's offices and such, then my wife discovered it. We now have a subscription. She's taken the last issue to work (nurse) where she and a Dr lady turned shooter have been going over it. I might get to read thru it when the next issue comes out.
Oh, my wife's description is Southern Living crossed with Field & Stream.

I get it. Dont read it but it makes for good conversation with the yankee libs we sometimes have to hang with, Who are typically offended at first then quite curious as they flip thru it.
I'll keep the subscription if for no reason other than to support the publishers for a classy, outdoors-y magazine

Maybe its changed , but after picking it up a few times I found it mostly garden.

I saw my first issue at the Dentist's office last November. Wife likes to garden, I like guns, so I ordered a subscription. Wife enjoys it as do I. It is one of the few mags we get that we both look at.

my daughter loves it....we keep one out in the reception area at my office for people to read and get a lot of positive comments on it. of course, this is the deep, deep South. might not play as well in Manhattan.

Never heard of it. By the title, I would wonder if it got into shooting rabbits and gophers in your garden.
The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

Picked up a copy in the small town hospital ER waiting room near where we live as we were waiting on my 18 month old boy to get his first (of many to come I'm sure) sets of stitches. I was kind of hoping the doctor would take longer so I could do some more reading on it.

Yup, I'm a subscriber. Good bourbon story this month too. And that pork tenderloin biscuit slider looks mighty tasty as well...
