Hunting magazines are important to hunters in order to stay current in news events, new tactics, animal information, and of course advances in hunting technology and hunting gear. Some magazines out there are just advertisements and garbage, others are just focus on one topic like "tree stand hunting whitetail deer" for instance.
I like a variety of hunting stories and articles, I particularly enjoy mountain hunts in the untamed wilderness so reading about them gives me great satisfaction. Eastmans hunting journal makes a great magazine and I have suscribed to them for the last 2 years. I love the stories, the advice, the attitude and respect of all the editors and contributors. It is a great magazine to suscribe to for all hunters especailly those hunting the west DIY style. This magazine has breathtaking scenary photos that take you back to the wild on every page, its a great experience to read.
Hunting illustrated is a good magazine, I found there was alot of relevant articles with good information and also great pics.
Bowhunting world is a great magazine for bowhunters, featuring a wide variety of hunts and intersting gear talk and gear field tests, this magazine is a good resource and worth a subscription.
