Outdoor News Digital Archive

Outdoor News, a Minnesota-based publisher of hunting, fishing, and conservation news, traces its roots back to founder Jim Peterson in 1967. Peterson, a passionate outdoorsman, recognized the need for a dedicated platform to disseminate news, insights, and stories about the activities and issues that mattered most to fellow hunting and fishing enthusiasts.

Initially, the publication served primarily the local Minnesota audience, providing coverage of hunting and fishing regulations, conservation efforts, and stories of outdoor adventures. As Outdoor News gained traction and credibility within the outdoor community, its influence began to extend beyond Minnesota’s borders. The publication’s commitment to journalistic integrity, coupled with its focus on issues relevant to hunters, anglers, and conservationists, has attracted readers from across the country.

In the 21st Century, Outdoor News has expanded its coverage, adapting to changes in technology and communication. Still offering its content in print format, the business also now embraces digital platforms, with a daily updated website and social media presence to reach a broader audience and engage with readers in new ways.

Throughout its history, Outdoor News has remained true to its founding principles, providing timely and accurate information, promoting ethical outdoor practices, and advocating for the preservation of natural resources. The Outdoor News Digital Archive contains all obtainable published issues of the Minnesota edition of Outdoor News.
