The Story of the Oldest Outdoor Magazine in America The oldest outdoor magazine in the country, Sports Afield has been one of the most respected names in the industry for more than 125 years. Today, Sports Afield is the leading authority on big game and hunting travel, with a concentrated readership of active, affluent hunters. Founded in 1887 by Claude King in Denver, Colorado, Sports Afield grew in circulation and influence throughout the twentieth century to become one of the leading voices in hunting and conservation. In 2002, the magazine was purchased by the owners of Safari Press, a successful publishing company specializing in highend hunting and firearms books with experience in the publishing arena for nearly twenty-five years. The new owners recast Sports Afield as a magazine for serious hunters who like to read about and experience real adventure. Since 2002, the magazine has focused on high-quality, high-end big-game hunting adventures around the world. Sports Afield features articles, columns, and photography by the most knowledgeable hunting and firearms experts in the business, and it covers the hunting world with a depth and breadth of information and inspiration unmatched by any other publication. Building on its long history, Sports Afield has established itself as the premier hunting adventure magazine in America. Sports Afield serves people who have a passion for hunting around the world. The magazine focuses on the most popular destinations in North America for species such as trophy deer, bighorn sheep, elk, caribou, and waterfowl/upland game and in Africa for species such as Cape buffalo and kudu. Sports Afield’s primary goal is to inspire hunters with exciting adventure stories about the most desirable game species. In addition, the magazine strives to keep its readers informed by publishing articles that cover top hunting destinations, the right tools and gear, conservation issues, and outdoor skills.

Core Values The Sports Afield brand is synonymous with quality, authenticity, tradition, and a strong conservation ethic. Quality: Sports Afield’s magazine, television show, Web site, and licensed products are held to the highest standards, as befits our loyal customer base. Authenticity: Sports Afield represents the real outdoorsman. Our philosophy is that of a solid, long-term commitment to the outdoor lifestyle, not gimmicks or fads. Tradition: Sporting traditions that allow families to create lifelong memories have always been a core value of Sports Afield; these traditions, which lead to a lifelong love of the outdoors, are more important than ever in today’s technology-laden world. Conservation: Since Theodore Roosevelt’s time, sportsmen have been the true conservationists. Sports Afield is proud to uphold a strong conservation ethic to ensure that we pass down a diverse and pristine environment to our children and grandchildren.

The Sports Afield Brand Sports Afield is America’s oldest outdoor magazine, and its name is recognized far beyond the borders of the United States. As the magazine approaches 130 years of continual publication, we remain committed to serving the North American outdoor enthusiast with the quality writing and awardwinning graphics that generations have come to expect. The heritage that is Sports Afield is very much alive today, whether we are covering moose hunts in Alaska or Cape buffalo adventures in Tanzania. Our aim is simple: to produce Sports Afield to the very highest of industry standards. Some of the most famous writers of the last one hundred years have graced our pages—Ernest Hemingway, Jack O’Connor, Russell Annabel, Zane Grey, Jason Lucas, and Jimmy Robinson, to name just a few. Today, Sports Afield’s lineup of superb writers includes Craig Boddington, Thomas McIntyre, John Barsness, Walt Prothero, and many others. Sports Afield is in an enviable position with its brand, for it owns the print edition, Web site, television show, licensing rights for all product categories, and Sports Afield Trophy Properties, a leading outdoor recreational property listing service. These channels are harnessed to pull in the same direction in a coordinated manner. As Sports Afield moves forward, we will, together with our partners, continue to increase our brand awareness and visibility. Sports Afield has been a brand known and respected in the outdoor world for generations, and we continue to build on this tradition with our familyowned company offering a dedicated approach that spells success in the hunting, fishing, outdoor products, and real estate markets for the twenty-first century.
