We take great pride in welcoming you to the fall issue of American Frontiersman—a labor of love dedicated to some of the finest, most avid readers around!

As a reader of this magazine, it’s very likely that you know way more about the American frontier than most people. That means you probably recognized this issue’s cover featuring the legendary Jim Bridger. A true mountain man by definition, we’re taking a special look at Bridger through the lens of The Revenant author Michael Punke’s latest novel called Ridgeline. And you’ll even learn a thing or two by catching “The Outpost” page that lets you inside Fort Bridger.

Other highlights of the issue include 21 Whitetail Myths Busted, a first-ever frontier/Old West Trivia Quiz, an easy DIY for making a classic leather shoulder cape, plus we show you how to salvage every usable piece from a deer carcass, torture Savage’s new straight-pull Impulse Hog Hunter, discuss the ins and outs of snaring and cabling critters, share tips, techniques and recipes to simplify your camp-chef responsibilities, and interview Andrew Scott Wills from the band Hawken Horse and learn about a new album that’s all about life and times on the American frontier.

With all that we can only ask… what are you waiting for? Pick up your copy today!
