Without magazines, the only way to read a glossy periodical is by swabbing a newspaper with Vaseline. Read compelling text that won't slip through your hands with today's Groupon: for $8, you get a one-year subscription to Game & Fish magazine (up to an $18 value).

Game & Fish scopes the area’s rustic terrain and enlightens readers with expert fishing, hunting, and outfitting tactics in a year’s worth of reading (the magazine is sent out 10 times every year, with two of its issues as double issues). Ease into a leather armchair and study the vulnerabilities and secluded habitats of ever-wily springtime turkeys or muse over the latest lures for baiting and befriending freshwater crappies. Game & Fish also dishes juicy tips such as projected annual forecasts, which bodies of water cloak the largest trout, and what a camouflaged hunter should do after encountering a doe that's also wearing camouflage.

Though the magazine sometimes offers discounted online subscriptions, this Groupon is still the best deal available.
