Beautiful Bamboo

The May article about Bill Lamberson’s handmade bamboo fishing rods was excellent [The Angler’s Elegance, Page 20]. I also enjoyed the close-up photos that were with the article. It was so informative.

Smiling Students of Nature

I’ve been a reader for many years. Although I’m not a hunter or fisherman, I do enjoy the outdoors.

I have to say the photo on the front of the June issue made me smile. I read the description on the inside, but I took it in a different way. It made me think that I “toad-ally” love your magazine because it reminded me of two toads hugging!

Keep up the good work. It keeps us informed and smiling.

Nothing Beats Missouri

Having lived in Missouri for 15 years, we greatly enjoyed this magazine. You do a wonderful job. And what a beautiful selection of nature photos! Especially the June 2023 issue.

Since we moved to Alabama, we still enjoy the magazine. Thanks for the good work. Keep it up. We look forward to future issues.

There’s no other state quite like good old Missouri.
