Discussion Topic: Field & Stream Wins ASME’s Highest Honor
By Dave Hurteau
F&S is the best magazine of its size on the planet. Okay, I’m a little biased on that point--but it’s not just me who thinks so. Last night, the country’s top magazine editors representing the country’s top magazines met at New York City’s Lincoln Center for the 44th Annual National Magazine Awards. Known as Ellies, these are basically the Oscars of the magazine industry, and “General Excellence” is “Best Picture.”
The 2009 General Excellence nominees for magazines with a circulation of 1 to 2 million were: Field & Stream, Bon Appetit, The New Yorker, Vogue, and Popular Science. And the winner is, from the American Society of Magazine Editors website:
Field & Stream: Anthony Licata, editor, for May, June, December/January issues
From tips on becoming a total outdoorsman to profiles of veteran amputees reentering the world of hunting, Field & Stream respects its readers enough to challenge them. Like all great magazines, this one is much more ambitious than it needs to be and delivers the goods, but also provokes with content that is consistently savvy, witty and large-hearted. Nominated 14 times, this is Field & Stream’s first Ellie.
I know all of you have been waiting for an opportunity to heap praise on us—and who are we to hold you back? So just go for it.

Congrats. you guys deserved it. With the exception of getting rid of "the huntress" that is.
I have to agree with O on that one. Congrats and keep up the good work!
Way to go! It's a awesome magazine. My favorite, by far.
F&S is the best hunting mag by miles - there's still the matter of my undelivered subscription though.

Toot that horn again!
You deserve it, and no one will do it for you!
Tell me something that I don't already know!
In April of 2005,I was sitting in a retail tire center, waiting for tires to be placed on my vehicle. They had a TV on with "Jerry Springer," and I was bored out of my gourd.
I took some deep breaths and centered my being, as I whispered the mantra, ommmm ... I looked for some reading material and found the "ANNIVERSARY ISSUE of FIELD & STREAM," May,2005.
I began to read the article, "the Legends of Fishing," by John Merwin. I read in depth, and was astounded how entertaining and informative, the composition was, especially when I read about a fellow Kentuckian, George Snyder, of Paris,Kentucky, who produced some of the first baitcasters.(1810 to 1821)
Just as I was getting deeper into the subject, the retail manager said my truck was ready ... darn!
I wasn't even ready, because I wasn't through reading about,"the Legends of Fishing."
Well, I'm no thief, so I took the soft copy up to the manager,expained my delimna, and offered him 5-bucks for their copy of F&S.
He said to go ahead and take their copy! I became a subscriber shortly there after, cancelling all other subscriptions, because F&S has it all!
Congratulations F&S in your success ... keep on truckin'!
I do a lot of magazine reading, and not only does F&S beat the crap out of the other outdoor magazines, It is generally superior in every way to the other rags I read. This is more than deserved.
The contributors write about legends in the magazine, but one of these days, people will be writing about some of them as such.
It's about time. Keep up the excellent work. There isn't a sportsman's mag that even comes close!
Is it just me, or does the actual Ellie award resemble some kind of Klingon battle weapon?
I mean, really, that damn thing looks dangerous.
Lucky for F&S that The New Yorker pooped in its mess kit with the "Politics of fear" cartoon. It must have killed the liberal elite to recognize a magazine that caters to rednecks, clingerers, and uneducated hicks such as ourselves.
Congratulations and keep up the good work. No Chad, this is not justification for your continued bashing of the Bush Administration.
Actually, teufelhunden I'm neither a part of the F&S editorial team nor am I a F&S masthead writer. I'm simply a guest blogger on the F&S website and I had nothing to do nor did I make any contribution to winning the Ellie so give credit where credit is due. It's quite an accomplishment.
Congrats to Field and Stream. Not only is that an awesome accomplishment within itself but it gives me a little sense of security that there are a lot of people out there who love to fish and hunt. Good to hear that this sport will live on.
Should anyone have expected any other outcome?
thats great. i cant beleve you bet all of them huge magazines but you do right the best in my opinion.
Congrats. I love your magazine. it is put together nicely and has cool pictures and good information.
