Am I the only one who reads American Hunter here? Since I don't live stateside, I get my copies weeks after they're published. Anyway, the current edition contains a great article on handgun hunting, by Max Prasac - a k a our own Whitworth. It's a terrific read and you find it here. Though I fully understand it, my only issue would be that the article is a bit defensive - living in Europe, where handgun hunting generally is prohibited, I know more than most of the idiotic ideas about it floating around even among avid (rifle) hunters. In the US, though, it's legal in most states which is a big difference. But apparently, many prejudices abound stateside as well. The article counters all the negative arguments extremely well and also promotes the sport very nicely. It's certainly worth reading!

Nice article Whit. Pretty soon you will be too good for us when you make it "big-time"

Tremendous article! I just browsed it quickly and will devote some more time to it tomorrow after church.
The God who gave us such a beautiful land, wonderful game, and the sport of hunting is worth knowing.

Has to be one of the best articles explaining the rationale behind handgun hunting and countering all the negatives people throw up. Am busy sending the link to most of my friends.

Enjoyable and informative. Also in that issue is a report of the Chiappa revolver. A new direction for handgun hunting? I've seen one but never shot one.

I enjoyed that article when I read it in my magazine, didn't know who wrote it until now. All that "numbness between the ears" translates well ;-)

I've complained to the editors several times about their lack of handgun articles(thought I was the only one doing so?) over the years but, still not much in this magazine? Glad for this one. Steve

If I remember correctly Handguns Magazine used to have a handgun hunting article in every issue but a few years ago they just stopped so I stopped my subscription. By the way good article whit but not enough mentioned about jacketed bullets

Amazon says October 3, but I think it'll be sooner. Just stay tuned here to the Announcements Forum; when Whit's book is finally out and available, Gary (or one of the other Moderators) will post it and let you know.
