Have any of you heard about it? Have you tried the sell and earn thing? Is it a rip or what do you think about it? ???

Re: Colorado Fishing and Hunting News

Purely my "rookie" opinion on this one...FWIW

F&H is a decent "rag" that covers the Colorado area fairly well. Sometimes it points me in a new direction or place I would not have considered. I think they do a good job of keeping the articles around 60/40. 60% being good info you may not get anywhere else and 40% is basic generic info most folks already are aware of.

I am not a big fan of selling subscriptions. Buy what you need if you can and read the mag when you are not fishing. Just my opinion but it seems like you have to sell a lot of subscriptions to get the boat...which is all I could use. Maybe others have a different opinion.

My opinion is: All their best Colorado Articles can be found on espn's site.

 

[Mattsabasser]

That is a good thing to mention, Epic. I have that site bookmarked and will toss out the link. They have some good maps and most of the articles are in the archive section.

Matt summed it up pretty well. I'm considering switching my subscription to the Oregon or Washington edition, since more of the info printed in those mags would be new to me. Haven't tried to sell anything, so can't help you there.

i think IMHO that they reproduse the same articales around the same time every year

 

[epic]

Or ones very similar.

Now that Ed Marsh has passed and is not a contributer, I really have no interest. They really do just recycle the same info.

It used to be a lot better than it is. They really have poor coverage of west slope lakes, everything they cover is over in the east. The guy that does the west slope local area is pretty much just a hunter and just posts lakes that have been recently stocked which aren't of interest to me.

Fishing and hunting news is not a good magazine, especially anymore. I didn't like the anti pike bias in the magazine.

Dave Hulling form COlorado Springs wrote in there a few years ago...with Ed, adn Steve...it was a better mag then, but I admit I still get it...Nice to have the encouragement all year around..! (Plus they'll print pictures of fat guys with walleyes!)

It's not as good as it used to be, say...10 years ago. I always called it "The You Should Have Been Here Last Week News".
