I missed the first three issues because I was disappointed previously by The International Varmint Hunter magazine going under and didn’t want to get screwed again by this new VHA group.In hind site I should have got the back issues when I could have.Talk about a Dumb ass!Live and learn I guess.
I wish Wolfe publishing or someone like them would reprint the first three or all of the issues, not from a collectors perspective but just so a fella could read them.
I have all but those first three and refer to my VHA collection often.

Ill take that as a yes
Uncle Sugar sent me to FT HOOD TX right before Desert Storm 1990. There l saw my very FIRST prairie dog. l knew then they were TARGETS to be shot. My whole hunting/shooting world changed. No more cold morns sitting in a stand. l had a complete conversion to Varmint Hunting. Twas a religious experience, Next l found THE prayer book-VARMINT HUNTERS MAGAZINE! Like any great prayer book, each VHA Magazine is timeless..

What a shame the magazine went out of business. Amazing that no one has tried again.

Apparently, keeping a print magazine going is a monumental task, what with the internet and ready answers to about any question asked (RIP Precision Shooting too). Personally, I much prefer a print magazine to settle into my chair with a cup of whatever pleases me for an hour or so, and my hounds laying nearby. And NOT staring into a monitor.
I, along with many here, really miss TVHM. Seeing the latest issue in my mailbox was a moment of joy.

100 percent agree. The difference between computer reading and book/magazine/newspaper reading is real.
I took a silly test at work regarding Incident management (like the third time I have had to take the same stupid test over my career) and FAILED. I was ticked. Printed out the material, re-read it and passed 98 percent. Same day.
I always enjoyed reading the magazines, and learned a lot about wildcats and Ackley calibers. It wasn't until about 20 years later that I picked up a 223AI and wished I had one earlier.

This was the last article I wrote for them.
My favorite article was in the 90's and called "Garden Hose for the 500 Yard Club". I have that magazine somewhere. "Somewhere" is the word as a brief look found lots of magazines and I am too sick with Covid right now to focus.

I remember that article --it's good to put a face to the name --I grew up shooting groundhogs here in the hills of WV and now the coyotes have just about eliminated them !!!! so everyone is after the coyotes haha--I hope you get well soon--Roger
