Outdoor Life has reportedly found its replacement for Jim Zumbo a year after he made a blog post that cost him his job with the magazine.
The Great Falls (Montana) Tribune is reporting that Andrew McKean, that state's Fish, Wildlife & Parks information officer announced his resignation and will take over as Hunting Editor for Outdoor Life on March 1.
According to Tribune Outdoor Editor Michael Babcock, McKean is a Missouri native now living in Glasgow who has worked with the Rocky Mountain Hunting and Fishing News and has been with the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks for 5 1/2 years. McKean will continue to live in Glasgow, but will travel to New York.
Zumbo, of Cody, Wyo., resigned from Outdoor Life almost exactly one year ago under fire for a blog he posted against assault rifles as hunting guns. He lost many major endorsements by outdoor gear companies, his backing for a television show was pulled and he resigned from his post as hunting editor for Outdoor Life during the backlash that followed.
