Editor At Large

Mike Schoby

While his official title is Editor, it might as well be Editor At Large when hunting season rolls around. Follow along as our resident Vagabond selflessly searches the globe to fill the pages of Hunting with unique stories…at least that’s how he justifies it.

Mike Schoby

Mike Schoby is the Editor of Petersen’s Hunting magazine and hosts Petersen’s HUNTING Adventures. Born in Seattle Washington, he grew up hunting blacktails and Roosevelt elk. While the Pacific Northwest still calls to him, over the span of 20 years he has hunted most of the United States, several Canadian provinces, Mexico, South America, several African countries and New Zealand. He has written five books on hunting ranging from predator calling to do-it-yourself western big game.
