Gun Dog and The Pointing Dog Journal
Gun Dog and The Pointing Dog Journal
I was in the city today and picked up the latest issues of these mags and really enjoyed them so far! If I subscribe to only one of them for now I was leaning to the Journal. Think they will both be in my mail box after I recover from Christmas, kennel, puppy and training dvd buying!

Re: Gun Dog and The Pointing Dog Journal
I get both and I like the Pointing Dog Journal better, it seems a lot more personal to me. I like the stories they put in it as well. GunDogMag is a good magazine but seems to generic I guess?

Re: Gun Dog and The Pointing Dog Journal
I think the best part of Pointing dog journal is Spaulding Hoffhackers article man that guy cracks me up.

Re: Gun Dog and The Pointing Dog Journal
ONK,
I get Gun Dog and have just reordered the PGJ to be sent to the mountain home. Both are decent mags but neither is the magazine Dave Meisner
made them into, they have faded no doubt about it. However the Grouse Point Almanac was just great for the limited time it was around, not big on what it has become
either. I would say get both Gun Dog and the PDJ if you have the money.
Ya Spaulding is a hoot.

Re: Gun Dog and The Pointing Dog Journal
Don't want to hijack the thread, but I have a lagre collection of both from the 80's & 90's I wouldn't mind letting go.
Re: Gun Dog and The Pointing Dog Journal
Ryman, This is the first time I have every seen PDJ but think I have seen Gun Dog before. Found both informative.

Re: Gun Dog and The Pointing Dog Journal
I used to subscribe to both magazines, but let them both expire around 2001 or 2002 after it seemed like I was just reading the same old articles. Of the two, I liked PDJ much better. A good friend bought me a subscription again to the PDJ so I could get access to post on their bulletin board.

Re: Gun Dog and The Pointing Dog Journal
I like both, but I prefer PDJ because I'm only into pointing dogs.

woodcock, grouse
I would like to hear from some of the readers about a good public area to hunt woodcock and grouse, don't mind travelling a little, i'm originally from northern Maine, but don't want to travel that far any more, now liveing in north Georgia.
Re: Gun Dog and The Pointing Dog Journal
PDJ for me as well. Subscribe to PDJ but end up buying GD often enough that I might as well get it too.

Re: Gun Dog and The Pointing Dog Journal
If you like the dog pictures check out the holiday issue of the American field. That one is really loaded with the top past and present bird dogs. Nice paintings and old photos. I don't know if you can buy it outright or if you have to be a subscriber. Also Doublegun journal has really nice stuff also. Lots of shotguns that cost more than the average home. If anyone has a collection of those magazines for sale i would be interested.
Re: Gun Dog and The Pointing Dog Journal
If I want to feel really bad about my place in life. I go to "Shooting Sportsmen". There I can see all the guns that I want, but I'll never be able to afford.
Re: Gun Dog and The Pointing Dog Journal
I subscribe to Gun Dog and Pointing Dog Journal. I like the Pointing Dog Journal better. Years ago i also subscribed to Bird Dog and Retriever News.
You could live without a dog, but it would not be worthwhile.

Re: Gun Dog and The Pointing Dog Journal
Pdj is great I also like shooting sportsman which is a little fancier. Also I came across a magazine called garden and gun. Its kind of southern living meets shooting sportsman so I subscribed and I think its kind of cool to see articles on music, southern life, hunting dogs, vacation spots all in one magazine. Check out their website it will give you a good idea of what it is like. Shooting sportsman also has a good site.
Re: Gun Dog and The Pointing Dog Journal
Recently got a subscription to PDJ and am enjoying it.
Re: Gun Dog and The Pointing Dog Journal
weve been getting PDJ for years..one good thing about me having such a lousy memory is i keep rereading the older issues for the first time ...ruth

Re: Gun Dog and The Pointing Dog Journal
I had PDJ for many years, but as someone else mentioned it seemed I was re-reading the same articles over and over after a while. I primarily kept my subscription for the web forums - some great folks on that board.

Re: Gun Dog and The Pointing Dog Journal
I get both Gun Dog and PDJ. Enjoy them both. The annual puppy picture edition of Gun Dog can sure put a smile on your face. I could do without Spaulding Hoffhacker though in PDJ. Total waste of magazine space and I think he is a terrible writer. I think there is a reason they save his column for the last page!

Re: Gun Dog and The Pointing Dog Journal
I like the two mag's about the same. But then, I like both pointing dogs and retrievers, and have trained spaniels as well. That's the nice thing about Gun Dog; diversified.
The big plus about PDJ is access to the forum.

Re: Gun Dog and The Pointing Dog Journal
I sold my large collection of Gun Dog and PDJ to a gentleman on this site. I just had no room to store them, and I couldn't throw them away.
His collection at this time only lacks PDJ NOV- DEC 2002.
If anyone coud help him it would be greatly appreciated.
Let me know, and I will put you in touch with him.

Re: Gun Dog and The Pointing Dog Journal
I get PDJ, and it's a good mag - but my other favorite is the RGS magazine. It's really gotten good lately, especially this year.

Re: Gun Dog and The Pointing Dog Journal
I like the pdj best, the stories hit home with me and the magazine is more personal, haven't read Gun Dog but might give it a try?
Re: Gun Dog and The Pointing Dog Journal
I prefer PDJ as well - as it is fairly informative and focused on pointing dogs. Another magazine I've enjoyed, but not seen mentioned here is the NAVHDA magazine. The NAVHDA magazine provides some diversity similar to GD.
