This was a factor.

With the increase in activity here on the site in recent months, Roger could probably use pics from the galleries here...but then he'd be committing a couple (of the few) pages in each issue to material that's already published online. I think that Roger would agree that printing fresh material should take some priority...but shouldn't get in the way of sharing a good story with the computer challenged members.

Speaking as a member who does spend a little bit of time online, I'd like to see more members do like Chunky (and some others) do and 'sandbag' some of their good hunting stories/photos for the magazine...then publish them online after the mag comes out. I know it's hard to sit on trophy pics & a story and I do enjoy reading a story for the second time too. But I do seem to enjoy the publications with more 'fresh meat' in them a little more...they seem a little more special.

Speaking as a bowhunter, I'd like to see me kill something worthy of an article again sometime this year.
