I doubt it, got a couple Xerox boxes full from my grandpa back in the day.
You can see how they recycle articles though, ha ha.
I tried giving away 25 years of outdoor life, deer and deer hunting and OOD a couple of years ago. No takers.
Recycled all mine!
I am in the process (started about a year ago) of re-reading 4 large tote's full of outdoor life, field and stream, sports afield, north American hunter, fur fish and game, Ontario outdoors, and outdoor Canada that I have hoarded since the early 70's, find it quite interesting to scan through them and read what catches my attention, will try to re-home them when I have finished the second round.
I got a mess of them too. They are a treasurer trove of information and fun to read.
A couple of years ago I put a bunch on kijiji for free and they were gone in a couple of hours. I kept a few Shooters Digest and Bibles from 1956 forward and magazines with interesting articles.
I had 12 yrs worth of OOD...my wife's friend's husband and son just got into hunting so I put the box on the back seat of her car when she was visiting. Her husband then had bypass surgery a few months later and had a lot of bed rest and enjoyed going thru them.
They found a good home
Took mine up to the deer camp .... LOL ?

Sheesh.... I do have a couple of boxes of old OOD mags as well...
They will go to the camp soon but will likely be used to start fires. (:~/
No value.
They arent even good for burning. Stupid glossy pages
EDIT - Actually, duct table a bunch of them together and make a makeshift ballistics test target. Soak the stack in water first (after taping, before shooting), and use your favourite bullet to see how it performs. A stack 18" thick should stop a rifle bullet at 100m
Same. Once you finish they are good for fire starter.Quote:

I will keep some back as well.
I always take a few down south with me and leave them in the exchange book shelf they have in the lobby of the condo I stay at. Never know if it get someone interested enough to come north to spend money on a vacation to hunt or fish.
