Shawn,
Dan Cote' isn't at all interested in what I do. I approached him a few of years ago sending him quite a package of examples of my writing and photography. On a follow up call he wouldn't pick-up the phone to talk to me, nor did he ever respond at all. I can only imagine his attitude (???) was about my long association with Shooting Sportsman (I was inquiring about doing single shot rifles stories).
I haven't seen the magazine for a while but last I did, much of the editorial was based on advertising, and that's not what I'm interested in. You might be interested in the column I'm doing for Sports Afield "Custom Shop" the current issue has Pt. 2 on Walnut for Gunstocks.
BTW: Shawn, many folks think that magazines stories are about what the readers want. Not so, the editors make all the choices and as long as advertising revenues are generated the publishers go along. Unfortunately there is little interest in what the readers actually want, but they do love to publish letters when readers agree with the content.
