Why you can trust Outdoor News

Originally founded in 1968, Outdoor News has been publishing hunting and fishing publications for outdoor enthusiasts for over 50 years. From Minnesota to New York, we cover the local hunting and fishing scene like no other media source available. We are the “watchdog” for sportsmen who call Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York home. 

Hunters, anglers, trappers and outdoor enthusiasts rely on Outdoor News to provide the most up-to-date local outdoor information available, and they trust us to keep them updated on legislative actions and policies that have a direct impact on their way of life.

Outdoor News features a team of local, award-winning writers and editors who are personally devoted to covering the same outdoors where they hunt and fish themselves. 

For our writers and contributors, hunting, fishing and outdoor recreation is not a hobby – it’s a fixture in their lifestyle.
