145.0. "What States Sell There Own Magazines on hunting" by VELVET::GATH () Mon Mar 21 1988 15:01

    Last night I was cleaning out some old magazines and I started
    looking at some old Pennsylavania Game News and it occured
    to me what a great little magazine on hunting.
    
    There are great articles and no advertizing. No continued
    to some lost page  3 or 4 times to finish the article.
    
    I thought , Gee I wonder how many States have as nice a magazine
    and really cheap to subscribe too.
    
    So I decided to start this note as source of State Magazines
    that are available too us.
    
    Have fun subscribing and reading these because they are the best
    source of economicall reading on the subject of hunting.

145.9	Mass Wildlife	DELNI::G_FISHER		`Fri Mar 25 1988 11:33`	21
	re .8 Fins and feathers is not produced by the state. It is produced by a publisher in Minnesota. It is primarily a magazine written for northern states with some specfic Mass. articles each month. An excellent mag. The Mass. state publication is called Mass. Wildlife. I believe it is published every other month (not sure). It can be ordered for $6.00 per year or $10.00 for 2 years. Send a check to: Mass Wildlife Subscription Division of Fisheries and Wildlife Rt. 135 Westboro, MA 01581 Also an excellent magazine.
145.10	Maine Fins & Feathers	RANGLY::MAHANEY_MIKE		`Fri Mar 25 1988 11:46`	3
	Fins and Feathers is also written for Maine which has articles on Maine. Someone had a good money making idea and its not what most people are lead to beleive.
145.11	fin and feathers; excellent reading, but priavate enterprize	VELVET::GATH		`Fri Mar 25 1988 12:56`	20
	As some of you may know Fin and Feathers is a magazine that is regonalized by adding a few articles from your geographic location zerroing in on activities that would interest you. Much like Field and stream does with there colour section that is about 1 page long on each of the states in the north east, Maybe it is outdoor life or both that do this. Fin and Feathers has taken it one step further and has tried to regionalize the whole magazine with some articles such as dog training or how to set decoys would appear in all the different varri-ations ( sp ) I have seen a Florida and a New Hampshire issues. Fin and feathers is an excelent magazine . It makes excellent reading no matter what region you are in. Bear

145.14	Wahington Hunting and Fishing News	DECWET::HELSEL	Well....isn't that special?	`Wed Aug 24 1988 14:32`	18
	In Washington, there is a publication called Hunting and Fishing News. It comes out once a week (always comes on Tuesday). It gives all kinds of info on Washington hunting and fishing: Hot spots for Salmon, Steelhead, trout etc., as well as maps of lakes, hunting spots, fishing and hunting forecasts, license application deadlines, dates, etc etc etc. The fishing news is not totally accurate. For instance, if they say that the fish are biting at a given spot, it is probably a week old. With migratory salmon, this is not reliable. The rest isn't bad and it has really helped me learn a lot about hunting and fishing in Washington State. If anybody is interested in subscribing, let me know and I'll get you an application. The price is around $30/year. Not too bad for 52 issues. Brett.
145.15	Michigan Out-of-Doors	GLDOA::MORRISON		`Sat Oct 22 1988 23:10`	8
	There is a magazine I receive as a member of the Michigan United Conservation Clubs called "Michigan Out-of-Doors" It is a magazine that focuses 90% on hunting & fishing and is quite good. It also touches on envirionmental issues in the state but mostly on h & f. You can deduct the membership dues, join one of the largest, if not the largest state conservation groups in the country, (who is very effective politically) and get a great magazine in the process. Membership is $20.
