The Contemporary Sportsman – Spring 2012


Lots of good reading and a number of great photo essays in this 284 page issue of the The Contemporary Sportsman

Believe it or not, we’d suggest that you start with the Letter from the publisher “A Positive Attitude Goes a Long Way”. It’s one of the best reads we’ve had in some time.

“Too Much of a Good Thing” is a much more serious article. Reading about the reasons behind the death of Grand Lakes St Marys in 2009, reminds us of what could happen, or may already be happening, in southern Alberta. Street runoff, untreated, directly into the Elbow and Bow River via storm sewers, E-coli in some irrigation canals, still no regulations regarding housing construction on flood plains.

For something much more upbeat, check out the feature article “Through a Guide’s Eyes”.
