[QUOTEwhy not just send your money to delta or some other charity. at least you will be able to delude yourself into thinking that your money is being spent on something productive][/QUOTE]

the local Delta Waterfowl Chapter has put over 80 kids through their hunting course. no delusion here.

To all those wondering about The Canadian Waterfowler magazines demise. I received an email from the editor today and it is definately a go and the contest winner will be announced then as well. Delayed the 2nd issue to coincide with the FB tv show. So good news!

That's great news. Now everyone can get a good night's sleep.

Oh ya, great news....
This my friends is what happens when people get to many hands in the pot.... So will the next issue be delayed by the spring snow hunt, then fishing this summer, then TFB yet again?

Glad i saved my money, I feel that in my generation I have witnessed the majority of quality "outsoors" publications take a backseat to the adds and promotions that litter the pages. I realize that this is what pays the bills for the publication but in this case it sounds like you all funded a TV show...

I have to agree with you there Jay. I don't have much use for those TFB guys they started out ok but have become very cocky. I would rather not support them. I wish we had access to some better waterfowl tv shows here in Canada wild tv doesn't carry very many

I also received a phone call today from the editor and he confirmed the same thing as stated above.

I'm going to continue to give the magazine a chance because I know what it is like to take your own personal money and sink it into something that you love with little to no profit.

That being said I do agree with some of you that they have some work to do in regards to fine tuning their product and being a little more consumer friendly when it comes to promoting their brand.

It will be interestesting to see what transpires in the next 7 issues that were promised to us subcribers, but they have my support...at least for now.

Let's give them a chance, what do you guys think?

Cheers,

Marc

Finally a person with a positive attitude! I agree Marc👍The initial exchange for this forum was just to confirm wether or not the magazine would continue and if anyone had the info and it turned into a whole other thing. If we are all truly waterfowlers we will appreciate any magazine promoting Canadian waterfowling. Most of, if not all of us wether we spent the 20 or 40 dollars or didn't already support waterfowling conservation through direct donations, club memberships, the ammo we buy and even our waterfowl stamps. That's the last I'll say about this, unless I get different info. Stay positive!

Thanks RandyC,

As bird hunters, we all support all sorts of clubs, conservation causes and youth hunt initiatives...etc, and in my opinion we should. We all love bird hunting and as Canadians we have a very small say in he marrketplace compared to our neighbors in the States.

The magazine that is stated in this thread is another example of something that a particular individual and/or group has started because they love the same passion that we do. It promotes Canadan content and Canadian companies with stories from Canadains.

I think that we should just be happy that this product is taking off and we should at least try to support it.

With less than 30 posts on this particular thread (half of them negative) it shows that at least some people were interested in the magazine's exsistence. Look a little deeper into the weeds and the stats will show that there were over 1,200 views on this thread, which means that alot of people are sitting on the fence, waiting for it to take off before they jump on board.

I'm not sure how many people subscribed to it, and how many did not. But in my own personal opinion, why not part with your $40 and see where it goes. Worst case scenerio...you'll have something to read on the toilet.

Cheers,

Marc

I would argue that rather than doing this for the love of waterfowling their interest rest with making money. There is certainly nothing wrong with that, but to insinuate that spending 20-40 dollars is somehow good for Canadian waterfowling is a stretch. If people want to risk their cash for what most likely will be a short lived, sub-standard product then so be it, I'm not interested nor do I think many others will be either.

I've been hoping Wild TV would carry "The Grind Waterfowl TV" but unfortunately they are only on the Pursuit Network. Good news though you can watch them on YouTube. Probably the most informative waterfowl show I have seen plus their production is pretty amazing.
