Scott Ergas

Digital Editor

Big game hunter and adventure embracer—Scott Ergas gleaned in-depth knowledge at a young age from his hunting guide grandfather and docent naturalist grandmother that he has applied in his outdoor pursuits. Mule deer, black bear, and elk serve as his muse, but he proclaims, "There are so many cool animals to chase worldwide, it's hard to pick a favorite!" As Digital Editor for Petersen's Hunting, RifleShooter, and Handguns magazines, he feels extremely blessed to be surrounded by—and able to work so closely with—a fantastic ensemble of people with a wide array of personalities and skill sets. Scott also enjoys sampling his wife's homemade sourdough bread loaves, spending time outside with his family, and watching his kids compete in jiu-jitsu tournaments.
