I think we've got about 15 or so. Used to be more, but I house-cleaned many old issues. Things can get a little out of control with spillover in this house, between a broad spectrum of magazine titles coming in, including kids' titles. I won't even get into the toy situation here... :shock:

I like to pass the older magazines on to people, rather than just toss them out.

Thanks, Dad, for taking me fishing when I was a kid.

Depending on the day I have way to many or not enough :lol:.

Check out this Special Limited Edition Cabela’s hardcopy catalog I received yesterday. I didn't know I bought that much stuff :lol:. A card came with it and said they sent out a lot of them to their customers. I’ve never seen a hardcopy catalog like this one. Jammed packed with what seems like every item they carry. On days like today, I just want too set by the fire and drool over the catalog :lol: .

I have 300 filed (more important ones) and probably that many in piles. I think we just got rid of a bunch of old ones.

I have all the entire Muskie Hunter Magazine collection, all of the Esox Anglers, a bunch of Muskie magazines, and then assorted Infishermen, and lots of Canadian mags.

I never run out of reading material for the bathroom.
