Blackbriar 8,569 Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Pleasant enough read to pass an hour or two. I guess the content becomes more restricted as the number of legal activities diminishes...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neil cooney 10,416 Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 I say fair play to the CMW. It puts our sport on to the shelves of newsagents everywhere and I'll bet there's many's a child buys and reads it and that can only be good. IMO anyone who's looking for graphic photos or stories of every last detail are not doing enough hunting. The CMW is what it is. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What you said brings something to mind though! Didn't the anti's recently convince Easons to put all hunting magazines on the top shelf, so's under 18's can't purchase them! Saying the content has graphic images within!? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Saying the content has graphic images within! It's on the bottom shelf in my newsagents mate, literally on the floor nigh on.. Not bought it for a while, tend to get a couple of fishing magazines, as said there isn't much you can keep writing about with the ban in place. plus you've got sites like this up and running full of stories, advice, pics plus the usual drama lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
