At the Wisconsin trapping convention I was surprised to see a booth in which a guy was giving away subscriptions to Predator Extreme & 2 other outdoor magazines. FREE. Usually if something is too good to believe, there must be a catch. This seemed legite though. He said they make $ on advertising. Anybody know of such a thing?

Nope, I used to get it, I liked it much better than most, where I first found out about the tactical.20! 15+ years ago. Awesome coyote rifle

Good magazine I write for it fairly regularly. They hand out free copies of magazines a lot these days because people don't pick them up on the newsstands much any more so the best way to recruit new subscribers is to hand out copies to people who may like it. It's a great magazine and runs about 40% ads, just like almost every other magazine out there these days. Ads make the subscription costs affordable.

Thanks! I love doing it. And it actually is FREE!

Advertisers cover all the costs.

Ok, thanks. Yeah, the guy was great and the magazines seemed good. It seems like a great deal for those with the time and interest in doing some more reading.

Glad you liked it, AJE. I've only been with the magazine for about 6 months, and my specialty is in product write-ups and reviews, not sales, so I was a little out of my element pushing subscriptions. But I'm local and offered to work a booth since I was planning on attending anyway.

So far, I think the magazine is pretty good. It's got some ads, but the ads are what make it so we can offer it for free. I just paged through the Sept/Oct issue I was handing out at WTA and only counted 18 full page ads without any editorial. Sounds like a lot, but it's an 80 page magazine. And did I mention it's free?!

I know the magazine is more geared toward predator hunting than trapping, but I feel more and more deer hunters and landowners interested in controlling predator numbers are gaining an interest in trapping. Hopefully this trend can lead to some more trapping related content.

If you guys have any suggestions or constructive criticism on the magazine, I'm all ears. Feel free to PM me if you want.
