I've got a little article in the new ADA mag. It was just the hunt report of my deer hunt with the boy and they edited the crap out of it but the boy is chuffed

Well done, I'll have to suss out which one it is.

I used to be the production editor many years ago and have to tell you we heavily edited a lot of the stories for certain reasons, varying from political correctness to total unreadability. Sometimes the writer would just get the order of stuff wrong - giving away too soon the thing you should make the reader wait for.

Its this story mate.

Have to say I like the mag. Big improvement over the little one they sent out. And its now in news agents.

I'd say it was worth another page or two but I guess juggling 'the book' puts strange pressure on the editors sometimes.

Yeah I get that, its not so bad. I quite like the new mag though.

G'Day Fella's,

Yes I received my copy earlier this week, and I'm impressed!

Late last year, Vossy (El-President-eh) dropped around with a potential new template for the new ADA magazine and it looked pretty much just like this one!

Bakes, your right, there isn't much of your article left but buy its a good read and some great photo's as well mate!

Avagreatweekendeh!

BTW I was at the Canberra trophy evening last night and Vossy mentioned it appears that the editor / owner of Australian Deer Hunter magazine is bent out of shape at the new mag and its name.

On the point about editing, CraigB once mentioned that when he was new meat at Petersons, any misbehaving n00bs were given Elmer Kieth's submissions to edit. He mentioned that it was rough as a bear's arse.

Bren,

What magazine are you referring to?

Been gone 18 months, didn't know there was any new mags.

It must be the format and masthead change the guy doesn't like, because 'Australian Deer' has had that name for more than three decades.

BWW, its the magazine for The Australian Deer Association (ADA). It was recently reformatted, from an A-5 size to the normal A-4 size. It is also now available at the News Agents, for Non ADA members to purchase as well, which is something new!

Doh!

Wow,

That's a change. I never really enjoyed that magazine when I lived there. The monthly nights at the German club were good fun though.

Loved Secrets of Sambar!

A very big improvement on the old mag. Bakes they sure did chop your article to bits. Would still of been a good time out with your son.

Spot on Sambarman - Vossy pointed out that ADA had the name for about 40 years. It's the format change and it appears it's in newsagents as well.
