Know a young hunter?

If so, he or she might enjoy the new JAKES Country magazine. The quarterly mag is published by the National Wild Turkey Federation and has articles geared toward new hunters and shooters and those who are continuing long family traditions, said editor Matt Lindler.

“If they’ve never hunted, this magazine will help them get started,” Lindler said in a news release. “If they've hunted all of their lives, this magazine will help them become better hunters. If they're interested in shooting sports, we've got that covered, too.”

The magazine will include a new feature called the JAKES Pro Staff.

“Pro Staff members will play a vital role in the production of the magazine,” Lindler said. “They’ll be asked to submit commentary on various stories. They will share their hunting and outdoor adventures with the other members and even get to review the newest outdoor gear for the ‘Gear Geeks’ column.”

JAKES stands for Juniors Acquiring Knowledge, Ethics and Sportsmanship.
