Years ago I used to read Bowhunter magazine and really enjoyed Magie's Meandering. It was funny. I haven't read Bowhunter for quite some time and was wondering if Ol' John "Magie" Mcgee is still writing? Does anyone know if there is a book or something that contains a lot of his storys? I've been reading Traditional Bowhunter and books on bowhunting lately, but I could stand a good laugh. :biglaugh:
There are a couple of books that I have seen at B&N.

I've tried to Google books by him but can't find anything other than "Bowhunter" Mag. I hate to buy or subscribe to the magazine just for one article. There isn't much else in it that I want to read.
IMO humor and wit are sorely missing from most hunting stories in general. trad bowhunters ask very little from our writers. Dean Torges is an example of a tradbow writer that had his act together. He was a good read. Humor, wit, and good story teller

The older I get, the more I meander.
I agree 100%.
Last year I picked up a Bowhunter mag at a bookstore and he is still writing articles.
He was the speaker at a Lone Star Bowhunters banquet I attended back in the early 80's, we were all holding our sides the whole time.
I think most of his material was real life stuff.....maybe a little extra thrown in. I loved the nicknames....Bearbreath, Owlface, Ol' Man, Dumb Bunch, etc.
He had a couple paper back books "The Best of Maggie" published in 1985 by Blue-J Inc. Ft.Wayne, IN and "Almost Bowhuhntin'" also in 1985 Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 85-70406 and 85-70407.
Been a long time since I've read them - think I'll start on them again tonight. It's time for a little laughing.

Thanks for the info. I'll have to pick up a copy of these if they are available.
I found this on the web... :smileystooges:
