Welcome to the world of the Virginia sportsman: a world of cobia and bluefish, of mayflies and brook trout, of wood ducks and ruffed grouse. The Virginia sportsman is a discriminating reader with a passion for the outdoors – an individual who enjoys the world of red foxes, bellowing hounds, doormat flounder, brook trout, and bird dogs; who loves the smell of gun oil on a fine shotgun, tastes the smoothness of fine wines, responds to the squeal of a big Penn reel fighting a rockfish, or the motion of strong flanks on a thoroughbred hunter. The Virginia sportsman is interested in architecture, beautiful gardens, arts, antiques and exotic destinations.  He/She is well-educated and can afford the time and expense of pursuing these interests. He/She is the steward of the land.

The Virginia Sportsman may reside in Virginia or anywhere in the world.

Good morning!

I wanted to tell you how much we appreciate the Staunton architecture article in the most recent issue of Virginia Sportsman.  Mr. Audibert has written a couple of articles about Staunton now and has done an
excellent job in my opinion.

Harpers Ferry Photo

Just received a copy of The Virginia Sportsman. Nice magazine--great article on Harpers Ferry in the April-May issue.
 
There is one problem: The photograph on page 32 is backwards.  The river in the foreground is the Potomac (Hilltop House is on the left) and the river in the background is the Shenandoah (notice bridge behind Harpers Ferry).  Even living here, it took us about 10 minutes to figure out what was wrong with the photograph.
 
Have a great day!

Oops, sorry Bob, you‘re right! No excuse except that maybe photo captions get tougher when more than one river runs through it.—Eds

It is always refreshing to receive a publication that contains articles about someone who  enjoys sailing, wing shooting, casting a dry fly to a waiting brook trout or attending one of our many steeplechase events throughout our Commonwealth.
From Upperville to Monterey to Fishing Bay, your staff captures the true essence of being a Virginia sportsman.
With warm regards,

Staunton

The article and pictures of Staunton were outstanding. We were at a gathering of past and present board members of the Blackfriars recently, and they were going out to buy a copy...good for you and good for the Bookstack.

Thanks,

I just received the February/March issue of Virginia Sportsman, and I wanted to say THANK YOU for the wonderful spread. The article was beautifully written; the collection and size of the images really show off the wonders of Maymont; and I'm so grateful that you had space to
promote so many of our annual events.

Thanks again for such a great feature!
