Moosie
Grand poopa
I know I got my Balls busted on here when I didn’t post pictures of my boy’s deer. I’m OK with that. I ended up posting one or two cuz Big Fin asked me too and he'sthe man !! The Moosie clan isn’t like several on here and don’t usually get good critters like his 209" buck he got so I thought it would be special for him if we could get him in a mag.
I sent out a couple pictures to magazines and didn’t hear back much. One magazine said they’d print the article and do a good job for me. We’ll call this Magazine “A”. I don't want this to get into another specific Magazine bashing post. I do like the guys from there.
Then, we got contacted back from Trophy Hunter magazine. After a bit of talking with Rusty the picture of my boy will be on the cover of the MAY issue. YIPPE ! With that he’ll get a new Browning rifle and a story and for us "NON FAME" guys, it’s just cool to be in a mag. O-Town has been saving for a long time to buy his own gun as by posts you guys have read and replied to in other sections know that. Now he gets one and can spend more on a Rifle scope for it. As much as some of you yahoos make fun of guys that submit stories and such it’s is (for us and especially my boy) to be on a cover of a magazine.
All this in itself is pretty cool to us. So I wrote back to magazine “A” and told them I was going a different direction because my boy was getting a cover and a “gift” and I left it like that because I didn’t want go into much detail.
Now, this is where I might be looking at this wrong. I got an Email back from one of the magazine owners letting me know how disappointed he was and that other magazines offered trinkets probably for a reason. And that their magazine had more exposure then others combined and …… Well, None of this I can really dispute. I’m sure they are. I never told which magazine we were switching to in hopes not to start anything, they will find out, or that he was getting a new rifle. But REALLY ? Say "Congrats to your son" and move on.........
It just rubbed me the wrong way I guess. Although the Email in general wasn't mean to me personally at all. I talked to O-Town in depth and although he likes magazine “A” and knows it’s a good magazine he equally likes the Trophy Hunter magazine and has been reading a lot of their past online issues.
At any rate, I did get bent a little from the response although it’s probably true and I shouldn’t be. I'm sure it’s a cut throat world in the hunters magazine world probably. I can see I might be a prick in a way for a give then take approach but was it ? Not that I should care.
I was just wondering your guys thoughts. I know several of you have been in these magazines and know the mag world better then me. Have you stepped on toes ? regrets ? I’ve only had my pictures in FAT RUNNERS WORLD magazine so I'm clueless !!!!
At any rate, you need to pick up Trophy Hunter Magazine in May to see the issue and read his Story. Although thats 5 months out. And sorry (But not really) for not posting more pics online.
