The February edition of American Outdoor News is packed with exciting highlights from the outdoor industry. We are proud to feature the American Outdoor News Lifetime Achievement Award, presented to Jim Zumbo, a legendary figure in outdoor media. With decades of experience as a writer, television host, and conservation advocate, Jim has inspired countless hunters and outdoorsmen. His unwavering commitment to ethical hunting, wildlife conservation, and mentorship has left a lasting impact on the outdoor community, making him a deserving recipient of this prestigious honor.
This issue also takes you inside the Dallas Safari Club Convention (DSC) in Atlanta, where industry leaders, conservationists, and outdoor enthusiasts gathered to celebrate hunting heritage and wildlife conservation. DSC remains a driving force in protecting hunting traditions and supporting conservation efforts worldwide. The event showcased the latest gear, innovations, and global hunting opportunities, further cementing its status as one of the most important gatherings in the outdoor world.
From Atlanta, we headed straight to Las Vegas for SHOT Show 2025, the ultimate destination for firearms, hunting, and outdoor gear. SHOT Show continues to set the stage for the newest advancements in shooting sports and outdoor equipment. Connecting with industry professionals, brands, and fellow hunters reinforced our mission to bring you the latest in outdoor news and gear reviews. Stay tuned for exclusive interviews, event highlights, and expert insights in this issue of American Outdoor News!
