Sporting Classics has conjured up the perfect remedy for the election-year blues! Now while the rest of your countrymen are losing their minds, you can sit back and read something positive for a change.
From Havilah Babcock’s classic “My Health is Better in November” to Edwin Sandys’ “How I Lost My Thanksgiving Turkey,” our new November/December 2016 issue is chock-full of uplifting stories. Read about the work being done to restore mule deer populations in “Mule Deer on the Skids;” learn how Bing Crosby hunted and fished in between singing “White Christmas;” see that social media can have a positive influence on society . . . and fishing.
Even the cover gives a nod to time spent at the polls. “Country Polling Place” by Charles “Charlie” Dye shows a hunter happily taking time from the field to cast his ballot.
It’s all here in the newest issue of Sporting Classics. Subscriber copies are mailing now, and the newsstand issues will be available November 2. Not a subscriber? Click here to subscribe today!
