Help with special request

Hello all....hope alll are having a blessed holiday season.
I need some help......
A few years ago (maybe late 1980's like 1987 or 1988) my father in law killed a large deer in cross county and was feature in Arkansas Sportman magazine. A few years ago his trailer burned and burned his mount and the magazine. He is a simple man a good man who doesn't want or need anything. He works hard for all he has and was very proud of his magazine article.
I am looking for a copy of that magazine.
.
I will try to post what year exactly but any help like authors anr people to contact would help alot. I looked online for an archive to no avail.
Thanks
Tom

Hey try contacting the magazine company or try a local library that may carry the magazine for archives. Hope this helps

Thanks ABH. I have called ASU library and have emailed game and fish mag but no reply as of now. I have emailed keith sutton as well as tommy garner to enroll their help and maybe be able to find a copy.
This is turning out be a little more difficult than i thought......
I appreciate your help and time
Tom

was his name Johnny Lockley?

or maybe Randall Harris?

Harris buck was killed in 86 i think with crossbow and the lockley buck was killed in 96 with bow and is state record i believe

Tommy, I'd call, not email, the publisher of the magazine. I feel sure they have stuff like that archived in electronic form. Good luck. That's a good thing you are doing.

His name is Ricky Nickles. Will try to call tomorrow and see where i get......thanks guys
