On the Horizon

Outdoor Life's Hunting Editor Andrew McKean Tells His Story | On the Horizon Ep. 29


Listen Later

We all decided on this side of the podcast that we need to be real life friends with Andrew McKean. Andrew conveyed a curious spirit and kind approach - a true journalist heart. He has traveled the world and had once-in-a-lifetime experiences while serving as Hunting and Conservation Editor for Outdoor Life Magazine, Hunting Editor for Strung magazine, Conservation Editor for Western Hunting Journal, Conservation Editor for Game & Fish, and contributor to Wild Sheep, Pheasants Forever Journal, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation’s Bugle Magazine, Ducks Unlimited, Petersen’s Hunting, Montana Outdoors, Guidefitter Journal, Gun Dog, Backcountry Hunter, Big Sky Journal, and more. 

Andrew recently left a writer’s event in Montana where he and his peers tested over 70 optics products and he talks about all the categories including budget, versatile, LPVO, precision and electro-optics. He shares his personal story of how a Missouri farm boy becomes a “grubby” newspaper man and eventually combines his love of hunting and words with his career path. 

Derrick and Andrew talk about the allure of sheep hunting and Andrew tells his story of traveling to India with the late Jim Corbett’s .275 Rigby rifle that was discovered in a closet at Oxford University. Full of wisdom and cheer, Andrew was a wonderful guest and a head full of knowledge — Derrick claims this podcast as one of his favorite interviews thus far.
