My wife ordered a subscription to a magazine she thought we would both enjoy.

She gets credit for trying!

Has anyone else seen this?

This magazine appears to be for the more well-to-do. There is one gun article in this issue, it's about Beretta over and under shotguns, and one gun ad, by Beretta.

There's really not that much about gardening, either.

It's a pleasant enough magazine, but for Mr. Joe Average shooter (like myself!), I don't recommend it.

Julia Reed's "Advice for Southern Men" might be interesting...

I saw that mag in a Dr office.

It's a good magazine, but more of a "southern lifestyle" magazine than one geared to gardening OR shooting. I've been a.subsciber for almost 10 years now. Keep reading it - it might.just grow on you.

That's what a gardening magazine SHOULD do.

I used to get it, my friend in Pensacola got it for me. Nice pictures, of what is left of a way of life after the civil war .. Pics, of plantations that survived the war, recipes , gun dogs, and mostly wing shooting as I recall with Parkers and the like. All in all a nice magazine but leaning more towards people that wear patches on their sport jacket elbows as I recall

I am a Yooper from the sticks, but read every issue.

Lived in Gainesville, FL for six months many years ago and
have relatives in FL. That may explain some of my interest.

There is a feature called "Good Dog" every issue. Well
written and lives up to the column name each time.

It's a Southern thing

How do you feel about, Sporting Classics?

I thumbed through an issue once and I agree. Nothing that I would subscribe to.

I had some Airline points I had to use up, so I got a subscription to Garden and Gun. I'm not much on gardening, and from what I've seen they're not much on guns. The very nicely done slick lossy magazine but 90% of it is advertising for stuff I'm not even interested in. I hope it would be a nice magazine to read about the self but I really don't see it that way. I can't wait for my free subscription to run out.

I had never heard of it, so I looked it up, and that's one I could get into!

They also carry articles about knives and barbeque from time to time.

I've never subscribed, but pick one up a couple times every year. Reprints of articles and stories from times past, gave me a feel for some of the post WWI living/hunting I never had before.

Garden and Gun appears to be more like Esquire rather than an outdoorman's magazine. I prefer National Review, and mostly get my gun news from the internet or one of the NRA magazines they send with my membership.

Whatever happened to Solider of Fortune? Now that was an a proper gun publication!

Stumbled over and saved the online version when I was looking for something to do with some shrimp and sausage. Forgot all about it until seeing this thread. Pretty sure I don't fit their demographic but the occasional article they offer may be of some interest.

The magazine changed. I had a subscription for six years and enjoyed it to begin with. A few years back there was an article about a group of friends flying by private jet to a private South Georgia quail plantation for a hunt. The writer listed the clothing and accessories each participant had. The average southerner doesn’t wear a watch that costs twice the price of his pick-up truck nor carry a gun worth more than his house. That is not how the vast majority of us live.

The final straw was an article about Bar-B-Que where-in a roadside stand in a gravel parking lot of a Rabun county produce market made a top ten list. My daughter’s Maltese won’t eat that meat.

I never renewed my subscription.

Kind of Esquire for the Southeastern Chablis and Croissant crowd, after Charleston got discovered. Named after a notorious club for those of alternate lifestyles.
No Carhart, Georgia boots or Ruger seen.
Occasional article on artists and carvers or tradition.

Good magazine, has a certain old school feel.

i got excited when you started tajking about this mag.
shooting n gardening are my main hobbies.
too bad it isn't in depth.

'cept I did read a good article about Texas barbeque there once.

My girl friend subscribed to it with her FF miles after flying back from the south of France. I met her at a soiree in Lubbock while my wife was at her sister's on vacation. Really different for me, as I usually just hang out here at the Montana ranch. But my cousin Nancy made me go. Some kind of Fun.

The magazine seems more and more like Yankee silliness to me. I'd rather the just read the Sunday New York Times.

And yes, perhaps the publication is prestented as being Southern, but I consider anything north of Alexandria, Louisiana to be Northern!

I'm a little too red in the neck for it. Shoot, I had to lookup what "soriee" meant
