“Brenda Valentine’s energy, vision and experience are a great complement to the VANGUARD brand and we are thrilled to work with her,” said Barnier. “Highly respected by peers and fans, Brenda’s accomplishments and awards are unmatched. We are so pleased to be partnered with such a renowned professional.”

Brenda will appear in a series of print and web advertisements and promotional materials for VANGUARD in 2010 and beyond. As an industry ambassador, she will actively promote VANGUARD’s comprehensive and growing collection of binoculars, spotting scopes, gun pods, gun and bow cases and associated accessories.

Known as the First Lady of Hunting®, Brenda has a long history of hosting award-winning TV shows. She is currently a national spokesperson and TV host for the National Wild Turkey Federation, one of the largest conservation organizations in the world. When not in the field filming her next hunting adventure, Brenda is a highly sought after guest speaker. She is a book author, columnist, seminar instructor, and frequent radio guest. Brenda’s adventures, successes, and opinions have been featured in virtually all outdoor publications. She is steadfast in her mission to protect and preserve the hunting tradition. Now a household name, Brenda is widely recognized among those who cherish hunting and the outdoors.

Says Brenda, “When hunting is who you are, rather than what you do, choosing the right products is imperative. I cannot afford to entrust my hunting success to less than the best equipment.”
