| Informative article |
Dear Editor:
I have to pass on a compliment to writer John Blake for a well-written,
interesting and informative article on his “Drahthaar” hunting dog in the
last edition of your magazine.
Although I’ve had setters and retrievers and thought I knew most
breed of dogs, I had never heard of this one. I will be checking into it,
however. Sounds like quite an animal.
The coyote hunting story by T. Rogers was also interesting. It seems
more and more people are getting involved in this type of hunting. We’ll
never rid our province of these animals, but maybe we can do more to
keep the numbers in check.
Thanks for a great magazine and keep up the good work. |

| Enjoys 'reality' style |
Dear Editor:
Although I’ve never sent a “Letter to the Editor” in my life, I’ve been
tempting to write you guys a short note for quite some time, so now
I’m finally going to send it.
First off, like so many thousands of people in this province and
beyond (I know, because I have many, many friends and relatives on the
mainland) I truly enjoy every issue of your magazine and episode of
your show.
Your “reality” style is what separates them from most other
outdoor publications and programs. You’re not afraid to write about a
“missed shot,” or laugh when someone makes a mistake. You don’t
always go for the trophy bull moose and you don’t mind showing
pictures and footage of fish that... well, aren’t real big sometimes.
The 2011 edition of your magazine’s Hunting Annual was a pure
pleasure to read, complete with some amazing photos. The cover shot
of the bull was incredible. It looks like your photographer got within a
few feet of him.
Can’t wait for the next issue and show. |

| Favourite gifts |
Dear Editor:
For three years in a row now, my darling wife has ordered a
subscription to your magazine for me, plus she’s purchased the latest
season of your DVDs; both as Christmas gifts. To say those have been
my favourite gifts would be an understatement.
I read each issue of your magazine from cover to cover, and any
stories that I really like, I read twice. The day after boxing day, I invite a
few friends and my brother-in-law over for “a few swallies,” as you
Sportsman guys call it, and to watch a few of your shows. Actually, even
the women will come down to the rec room to watch for a while. I’ll
watch the remaining shows over the following few days, then get the
guys together for a night once Christmas has died down to see the
shows they didn’t see just after boxing day.
We all thoroughly enjoy them and want to congratulate you guys
for a terrific magazine and TV program.
I just hope my wife didn’t forget to order my favourite gifts for
Christmas 2011. |

| Suggestion for show |
Dear Sportsman:
I've been a fan of your magazine and television show for many years
and I'm happy you got moved back to the 5 o’clock time slot on NTV
Sunday evenings.
One suggestion that could make your show even better would be to
use captions on the bottom of the screen to tell your viewers where you
are. Most times, if you miss the first minute of the show, you never learn
the location. Mentioning the location throughout the show with on-screen
graphics, as well as the names of the hunting/fishing party, area trivia,
etc., would certainly help viewers as well as give a boost to the hunting
area or fishing lodge, etc.

Editor’s note: We shall certainly keep your suggestion in mind.
