Gray's Sporting Journal

Gray's Sporting Journal

"Gray's Sporting Journal" is a magazine dedicated to the pursuit of outdoor recreation, with an emphasis on hunting and fishing. It is one of the last consciously-literary outdoor publications, famously using a "blind reader" to select articles, poems, and stories for publication. The blind reader receives only the text of the submitted work, not the name of the author, thus theoretically preventing publication of works based on fame only. "Gray's Sporting Journal" is published six times a year. It employs perfect binding and always features a work of outdoor art on its cover. "Gray's" is one of the few publications to include poetry, lengthy works of fiction, fine art, and photo journals all in the same issue. It the flagship outdoor asset of Morris Communications, which also owns publications such as "American Angler", "Fly Tyer", and "Saltwater Fly Fishing". Collectively, these magazines are referred to as the "Morris Group."

"Gray's Sporting Journal" is currently edited by James Babb, author of "Fly Fishing Fool". Its former editor, David Foster, known for his "David Foster's Journal" column in each issue, was recently promoted to a consulting position with the entire Morris Group.

Regular Features

James Babb, the new editor of "Gray's Sporting Journal," has previously published an "Angling" column in each issue, although it is unclear if that will continue.

"Shooting," with Terry Wieland, features a different aspect of the shooting sports in each issue.

"David Foster's Journal," an exploration of the outdoor life featuring editor David Foster, is a long-running column, although it is unclear if it will continue with David Foster's recent promotion.

"Gray's Best," a feature published yearly, selects the best outdoor equipment across the range of sports "Gray's" covers.
