Rod & Rifle is a bi-monthly magazine edited and published by Brendan Coe since its inception in 1980.
Rod & Rifle is devoted to hunting, fishing and related outdoor sports and is published in the first week of the month from January/February through November/December.
We welcome articles on hunting and fishing (New Zealand content preferred) and these can be sent to the Editor with a number of photographs to enable a selection to be made for publication. Material can be posted or emailed and payment will be made in the month following publication.
The act of sending material shall constitute an express warranty that the material is original and in no way an infringement on the rights of others. Opinions expressed in contributions need not conform to Rod & Rifle’s editorial policy as we wish to provide a vehicle for discussion on the best use of New Zealand’s land and water resources.
