Outdoors Magazine Chooses Cover Girl
After pouring through hundreds of submissions during May, Outdoors Magazine is proud to announce that the "Cover Girl" photo adorning the July issue is Kandi Kinski with her massive whitetail buck.
"The photo had exactly what we were looking for in an image," said Outdoors Magazine editor Kyle Scanlon. "It showed a vibrant woman in the outdoors who is a real hunter, and the quality and composition of the picture were exactly what we needed."
Scanlon was overwhelmed by the response Outdoors Magazine received to their "Cover Girl" search. See the cover at this link: http://www.garyengbergoutdoors.com/blog/wp-content/women-cover-girl.jpg
"We had hundreds of pictures come in from across the country," he said. "There were traditional pictures of women with big game and fish, and some non-traditional pictures as well. One that stands out in my mind is a Texas woman who had just finished harvesting a hog with a Bowie knife. Another was some women from Mississippi who specialize in 'noodling' big catfish. This is in addition to the trout, deer, elk, and moose pictures. The diversity of photos was amazing."
"It was incredibly difficult to choose," said Scanlon. "So much so that we actually printed a second cover inside the magazine highlighting the women's section. We also printed an expanded scrapbook showing some of our favorites, and posted others online.
In addition to the photos, the July issue of Outdoors Magazine has over a dozen different articles focusing on women in the outdoors. Included among these are; traditional hunting stories, pieces on why women make better guides then men, an in-depth story on the challenges women guides face, heart-felt tales of overcoming gender boundaries, a detailed look at women-specific organizations like casting for recovery, and many others.
"The edit isn't light-hearted, regurgitated material about 'how nice it is that ladies have taken up hunting,'" said Scanlon. "It is a hard look at the new age of women in the field and the challenges they face. It is really some of the best material on the topic I have ever seen," he said.
Both subscriptions and single copies of the July issue can be ordered by calling 1-800-499-0447. Subscriptions can also be ordered by clicking here: https://secure.aidcvt.com/elk/outdoors/outdoors.asp
