A lot of Ontario hunters use Quebec outfitters for Moose and Bear (spring)..they provide a great service to 'our' hunters.
I have no problem with the magazine taking Quebec adds.
Haven't heard of any Ontario adds being rejected due to making room for Quebec adds. This would be a problem.
If Ontario outfitters want to place adds they should step up and place them.
Advertisements are part of the the magazine business.
Why shouldn't they advertise where they think they can get a return?
Why should the magazine not take there ads?
Have I patronized any Quebec advertisers? No.
Is it due to them being from Quebec? Maybe yes but only due to the distance involved from where I live.
People will spend their money where they perceive good value, either a seller or a buyer.
You have a point there Woodsman and I understand what your saying it makes sense. I just figured its an ontario magazine advertising out of provence hunts. Would you feel the same if they were advertising hunts in the states as well or out of the country. I know its just an advertisement and not a hole article talking about out of provence hunting, i just feel it takes away from the hole Ontario feel of the magazine. I would expect advertisements like that in out door Canada. But in a business point of view money is money and if they have it to spend to advertise in our magazine then so be it.
If a US outfitter wanted to advertise in the mag why not?
No problem for me either way.
I think it is great that they have ads for other provinces & Countries - as some of them may have different seasons or game that may appeal to Ontario based hunters. in fact I think they should expand the section to include more out of province outfitters.
Examples: African Safaris, Hunting Grizzly Bear's in BC, Turkey Hunters wanting to go for a Grand Slam, Florida Hog & Gator hunts - all of those may appeal to readers looking to travel and hunt at the same time!
