Citizen Sportsman

Several years ago during a brief hiatus from my agonizingly busy international work schedule, I started a blog called Citizen Sportsman. It was an attempt to combined my love of the great outdoors with my passion for writing. I used it to champion the causes of our National heritage and never missed an opportunity to explore a political perspective or two. The blog was more of an online magazine with one very low paid staff writer and two unpaid writers, including myself. These were the days before Facebook and the social media revolution was just on the cusp of exploding. Surprisingly though, Citizen Sportsman still garnered a considerable following very quickly. The readership proved to be faithful too and before we knew it, it demanded more of our time than I could spare and more money to grow than I had to put into it. Sadly, Citizen Sportsman came to an end but I never lost sight of the potential of it and ironically it has spawned a network that continues to grows wider each and every day. Even now as new projects have emerged all these years later, I still come across former CS readers who ask me if we will ever bring it back. The answer to that question lies in the success of the Citizen Network...Citizen Plain, the flagship blog of perspective, Plain Truth, where politics reign supreme,  and the newly minted Plain Friends, which I hope becomes sort of social network where bloggers of all interests can submit their work to be profiled and shared with the blogging community. 

Will Citizen Sportsman ever come back? I guess we will have to wait and see.
