Just ran across this. Interesting.

I notice Field and Stream never does much on Hunter Safety, leaving that to the game and fish pamphlet people and the hunter education classes.

I'm not being critical, but just wondering if that is a conscious decision [don't be preachy?] or just never occurs to them [gotta be exciting stuff] ?
