Mebbe I'm Old-Fashioned, and the majority of my years is behind me, But I thought this magazine was about hunting and fishing, not pumps and hos. I wish they would confine all thet stuff to a house of Ill Repute and let the rest of us vicariously enjoy the outdoors.

Having read this magazine since I was a young boy I think it's tacky, at best.

It is unfortunate but our demographic group is indicated as a market for the material, therefore the ads. F&S is paying the bills.

I don't like them being there, my daughter is grown but when she visits we talk hunting and she sometimes looks though the magazines.I don't want her to think that's what other men that hunt are about.She sees enough of that with out seeing it in something I read.Yes some of us still go to church and read the Bible because thats what God wants,most that do don't cheat on their wife.We don't always DO GOOD but we generally DO BETTER than those that set the bar so low.JIM you might run 5miles aday and work out every mornning,I don't do that even though it would be better for me.But I don't run down those that choose to do better than I.Seems to me we all should try to do GOODER.

Like Beekeeper said, they are just pandering to a prime revenue demographic. According to published statistics, between 54 and 75 percent of you view porn regularly. Those are not my numbers. Look it up for yourself.

That is why many are not offended by this. IMO, nobody makes you look. If you have small kids, tear out those pages or drop your subscription and write F&S and tell them why. Me, I'm going to ignore the ads and keep reading as long as the outdoor content is satisfactory. We have to keep Petzal employed somehow, else he will be on the taxpayer's dole...

Jim in MO... I don't think that church attendance or cheating on my wife factors into the equation here. I like to have F&S lying around the house so I can read it and I also go through it with my grandaughers and neighbor kids that have shown an interest in hunting and fishing. I personally feel that I should not expose them to that stuff and I feel very comfortable voting with my dollars. There are other magazines and other ways to teach them. I just stick with my principles and if the rest of the world has a different opinion, that is their right. I love free enterprise.

Don't you think that was a little harsh?

Well said, rabbitpolice88.

I have decided that if that appears in the next issue I will not renew my subscription. Let them do without my $$$.

If you want F&S to stop putting that crap in their mags then send them the message. Don't say "Well, I don't like it, but that's life." That's not a message. It's a cop-out. Life is what we make it.

When I was growing up every month I looked forward to the day when my dad's American Rifleman magazine came in the mail. It was full of all kinds of interesting stuff. Then after Kennedy was shot they got into the 2nd Amendment crusade and that gradually took over the publication. Final straw for me was when they started marketing phoney cancer insurance. Pulled my subscription and told them why. They gave me the old song and dance that they needed to scam to make the money needed to keep the crusade going.

If I see porn ads up on this forum, I'm outa here. Not a crucifix waver or anything like that. But I am a decent person.

Its todays world!

I dont particularly agree with it but it pays the bills. I would rather them sponsor fishing/hunting companies, but then again theres a lot of paperwork and contract crap involved with sponsorships. And also, if yo ratio the decent ads with the non-decent ads, they are..(im counting)120 to 4.yeah.thats what I thought.

like beekeeper said its about marketing, and based on statistics the readers of this magazine, and others similar to it are in the percentile that the ad/product will mostly appeal to.

I like your style, and read your comments with interest, but now see what you have done? You will have 43 liberals writing nasty things to you about freedom of speech and free enterprise, all the while petitioning their congressmen to remove The Ten Commandments from their local courthouse.Rock on lady, and thank you for providing the link. They will get an E-mail from me.

on another note I'm sure 50% who have look at those adds have ether thought about going there or have.

Just ignore the adds, if you don't want children to see them, that is why they make scissors or paper cutters. Easy to get them out of your magazines. Its what I do.

Don't read the back pages if you don't like it! Would you rather pay higher subscription prices? That's what it's all about, money, all you do-gooders. Go to church, cheat on your wives and then yell about the magazine adds in the back of your ex-favorite mag. What phonies.

In reference to the question.......

What would be the difference that makes male enhancement ok and "marital aids" not...at least the marital aids work so someone that chooses to use the discount is not getting bolked out of money (no I have not tried the enhancement just using common sense) So as far as I care let them make money

How is F&S a sell out ? Because they sell advertising to pay publishing cost and their employees ? Or is it just because they have an add for porn that makes them a sell out ?
