American Outdoor News Magazine is an outdoor interview show centered on hunting, outfitting, conservation, and the organizations that support them. Its recent run sits close to Safari Club International. Conversations come from fundraisers, the Nashville convention, chapter events, and meetings with people who work across the hunting world. The feel is conversational and industry-facing. Guests talk the way people talk at a booth, a banquet, or after a long event day. The show spends real time on advocacy. Pennsylvania Sunday hunting, local chapter work, trips to Harrisburg, and the legal voice of hunters in D.C. all become part of the larger picture. It also keeps returning to conservation as a working system, not a slogan. Fundraising auctions, anti-poaching efforts, youth awards, and convention membership growth are treated as practical parts of outdoor life. The guest list reflects that world. Jeff from SCI Safari Club International discusses grassroots chapter work. Mike Arnold brings an easy, social convention-floor rhythm. Laramie Miller talks about leaving TV, returning to outfitting in Southern Colorado, and building toward a new show called The Legacy. Leah, Lindsay, and Shay frame young hunter recognition around community impact and conservation effort. Christy Titus from Pursue the Wild connects SCI energy to advocacy and the recruitment of new conservationists. Craig Boddington speaks as an icon in the industry, author, TV show host, and anti-poaching advocate. Amanda Lynn Mayhew covers Take Me Hunting, Just Hunt Incorporated, and That Hunting Girl. Ramey Grimm explains the behind-the-scenes pressure of registration, auctions, exhibits, and after-hours events. The show is not built for detached nature writing. It is closer to a rolling check-in with the hunting community: warm, busy, proud, and specific about the people doing the work. Its best fit is a listener who cares about the machinery behind outdoor tradition as much as the hunt itself.
Made for: For hunters, outfitters, conservation supporters, and outdoor-industry followers who want direct conversations with people active in SCI circles and related hunting communities.
What sets it apart: The show stands out by recording close to the people, fundraisers, chapters, and convention teams that shape hunting advocacy. It treats policy, conservation funding, youth recognition, and outfitting as connected parts of the same outdoor culture.
