Brenda Valentine - “First Lady of Hunting ^®”

Born and raised in a very remote section of Henry County, Tennessee, Brenda Valentine literally grew up roaming the woods and was hunting with her father before she learned to walk. Ultimately she became extremely knowledgeable in all areas of woodsmanship, shooting and animal behavior. Little did she (or anyone else for that matter) dream this basic way of life that supplied meat for the table and hides for the market was laying a firm foundation for a career that would take her out of “Johnson Holler” and earn her the title of the “First Lady of Hunting®.”

Brenda relaxes in her Tennessee office, which reflects her years of hunting and outdoor interests.

This self admitted tomboy has become one of the most recognized hunters in the world. Her stories have claimed national awards while being published in many major outdoor publications. She is a book author, photographer, radio personality, videographer, and highly sought after seminar speaker. However, most people relate Brenda Valentine with several hunting programs on national television. Brenda is a host for the Bass Pro Shops' REAL HUNTING program that airs 52 weeks a year on the Verses network. She is also a regular on the brand new Bass Pro Shops' King of Bucks, program that debutes in July, 2008, on The Outdoor Channel. She is also a frequent guest on many other TV shows produced by conservation organizations which she supports. With a loyal fan base, most viewers agree that it is Brenda's genuine enthusiasm, no-pretense attitude, extreme knowledge, and warm southern twang that keeps them clicking the remote from station to station in search of her next hunting adventure.

Brenda typically spends 200 days each year filming hunts. Obviously, Brenda’s playing field has expanded from the farm in Tennessee to the far reaches of the world. She has taken her trusty bow and arrow, muzzleloader, or center fire rifle from the southern tip of Africa to the Artic Circle and every stop in between.

Brenda is the first woman inductee into the Legends of the Outdoors Hall of Fame. She is also a member of a Sports Hall of Fame for her archery accomplishments and a Knight Muzzleloader Master Hunter recipient. She holds numerous state, regional, and national 3-D Archery titles. Brenda proudly endorses and uses products of the following companies: Mossy Oak Camo, Bass Pro Shop/RedHead, Parker Compound Bows, Hunters Safety Systems, Winchester Ammunition, Sims Vibration Labs, Carolina Archery Products, and Trophy Rock.

This First Lady® is often described by others as a modern day pioneer in the outdoor industry and hunting’s brightest star. Brenda is a staunch ambassador for women and children in the outdoors; however, she proclaims that while hunting provides her livelihood, her leisure, and will most certainly be her legacy, she will never be able to give back as much to hunting as it has given her. Brenda still makes her home on a farm in rural Tennessee with her husband, Barney, and an assortment of dogs, horses, and various other critters.
