12 Louisiana Sportsman^ | April 2015
To ThE EdiTor:
My wife had subscribed to Louisiana Sportsman for me
ever since I found it on a magazine rack in a convenience
store on North Market Street as we drove into Shreveport
(her hometown) several years ago. Every month, when I
get my copy, as I did Friday, the first thing I look for is The
Shootist. I like Gordon Hutchinson’s columns on concealed
carry guns and holsters, self-defense and shooting in gen-
eral.
Then I give the magazine to my wife, open to the Seafood
Bible. She’s a great southern cook and loves to get a new
recipe.
I fished all over the South and love to see what is going on
at Toledo Bend, Cross Lake, Venice, Morgan City and other
fishing holes, but I like the knowledgeable articles on guns.
When I opened my copy Friday, I couldn’t find The
Shootist in the second index where it is usually listed. I
even looked a few pages ahead of the Seafood Bible think-
ing someone might have overlooked putting it in the direc-
tory. No such luck.
Where is it?KEnny Long
El dorado Springs, MoAfter writing for many years, Gordon Hutchinson (aka The
Shootist) made a difficult decision that it was time for him to
end the column. We hope to find a suitable replacement soon.Where in the world
is The Shootist?
