“official journal”

We hope you are as proud as we are to celebrate a big birthday for the world’s largest and best hunting magazine.

In 1973, the NRA introduced a monthly magazine focused solely on hunting. At a time when existing publications tailored to a wide array of sporting endeavors, such a singular-focused publication was a gamble. But within a decade, American Hunter boasted a million subscribers.

In 1949, New York asked the National Rifle Association for help to improve hunter safety afield. The four-hour course that followed was a “pioneer effort” that has saved lives ever since. Today, no one can imagine American hunting without hunter education as a prudent rite of passage.

Stewart Edward White’s 1911 report to NRA members was one of the first from Africa’s hunting fields ever published in an American periodical, and is proof our association will always remain at the forefront of trends in firearm use.

Through the remarkable vision of conservationists including NRA members, Americans today see wildlife thriving from sea to sea.

The editors of American Hunter have announced the recipients of our 2021 Golden Bullseye Awards.

We all can count the many blessings afforded by our lifestyle as hunters. Now, before Christmas fades, is the time to recognize that each of us can pass on these gifts to another. This year, give the gift of hunting.

An offhand remark plants a seed that launches a yearlong collaboration.

Dads aren’t always the easiest member of the family to purchase gifts for, which leads to a lot of cliché purchases each year in the build-up to Father’s Day. Don’t be that gift buyer. Check out our handy 2017 Father’s Day Gift Guide and leave an impression this year.
