Boring photo but the back story... Master shotgunner Dave Zumbaugh found a 1976 Gray’s Sporting Journal and sent it to me. In it is one of the first five stories I ever sold. Brought $500. If only magazine markets had kept pace with inflation. Many still pay $500 —and many more less than that. #freelancewriter #magazine #published #careerlaunch #grayssportingjournal #theride #ronspomeroutdoors #history #goodolddays #publishing
