#1
New York, New York -- Outdoor Life, The Source for Hunting and Fishing Adventure, launches "Outdoor Life 25," a new awards program to recognize the people changing the face of hunting and fishing, in its December/January 2008 issue. The magazine profiles the 25 leaders, innovators, conservationists and unsung heroes who have had a major positive impact on the outdoor sports. Readers are encouraged to log onto www.OutdoorLife.com/OL25 to vote for the most deserving individual, who will be presented with the Readers' Choice Award. The December/January 2008 issue will hit newsstands on November 20.

"We started the Outdoor Life 25 because we wanted to recognize high-profile and grassroots individuals who have had the most positive impact on hunting and fishing," said Todd Smith, Editor-in-Chief of Outdoor Life.

The Outdoor Life 25 includes some familiar names, such as former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, who is lauded for his efforts to provide funding to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission and improve access for hunters and anglers. Governor Huckabee is joined by unsung heroes like Ray Howell who founded the Kicking Bear Foundation, which holds bowhunts, camp-outs and archery shoots for diSadvantaged youth. For the complete list, including details, please visit www.OutdoorLife.com/OL25.

The 25 honorees are grouped into four categories: leaders, who by their individual efforts and sheer strength of will have had a strong impact on the hunting and fishing scene; innovators, whose product breakthroughs make time spent in the outdoors more productive and enjoyable; conservationists, who work to ensure that that future generations will be able to enjoy the outdoors; and unsung heroes, who in quiet but important ways are doing things great for the outdoor sports.

The magazine will honor the inaugural Outdoor Life 25 during a special reception presented by ECHO Incorporated at SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Nevada in February 2008. Mr. Smith will also announce the winner of the Reader's Choice Award during the ceremony.
