Recommend a bow hunting magazine thats not all whitetail

[Peaks&Creeks]

Currently subscribed to Outdoor Life and Field & Stream, but being a western hunter 90% of the articles are about whitetail hunting and never about bow hunting. Whats a good bow hunting magazine, or better yet, a bi-monthly journal with less ads?

honestly don't know how any mag stays in business in the electronic age. Emags , social media, forums , pod casts, you tube yada yada. Yes Rokslide. Grew up with Field and stream, Outdoor life, sports illustrated,MAD, even a few Playboys and Hustlers. Online free porn is putting them out of business too. Good luck in your quest as can remember the excitement and smell of a fresh new mag.......

I agree, that's why so many have a million ads to cover the cost. I like my Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation magazine and that's bi-monthly, plenty to read for 2 months. I think "Journals" are much better as the higher cost mitigates the adds and gives you more content. F&S and OL were both only $15 combined so I subscribed, but just can't read about whitetail strategies every issue and then bass fishing all summer, LOL.

I can recommend some from this hemisphere if you really want to get away from whitetail!

I subscribe to both of these, and they have quite a few articles about Bowhunting.

Traditional Bowhunter Magazine at TradBow.com. They cover pretty much all North American species over the course of the year, big game and small game. You just won't see and compounds in it. You also won't see ads for lots of gimmicks in it either, but that might also be what you are looking for. You can get it in print or digital too.

i got bored with western hunter and elk hunter relatively quickly. every issue churned out the same things. some random writers telling you of a story, and gear reviews...and copious advertisments from the usual suspects. outdoorsman, expensive optics...nothing changes...the two magazines are exact copies of each other.just one focuses on elk, the other lets in other western animals.

the stories did have catchy titles tho..like "sheep in the clouds".. "last hurdle sheep" "over the next crest mulie" blizzard buck...

I found F&S and outdoor life to pretty much have the same info. Since they're sister mags now. I was a huge OL reader when I was growing up. F&S is the better of the two now.

I have subscriptions to Eastman's Hunting and Bow hunting Journals, as well as Bugle, and both Elk and Western Hunter. I don't have much time to read them. When I do, I mostly read the reviews of new gear.

I subscribe to both of these and highly recommend them. One plus about these is that they don't contain as many ads as some other magazines. I used to subscribe to Petersen's Hunting but they got to where ads were over 50% of the pages. I also used to get the RMEF Bugle magazine but I got tired of all the "be one with the elk" articles and revering at their majesty.
As far as digital magazines, they are not for me. I'm old school and like to have actual pages to turn when I'm sitting in the "library" as my wife call it.
