With the third season of “Dark Winds” on the way in March, we visited the cast on the New Mexico set and captured the show’s stars — Zahn McClarnon, Kiowa Gordon, Jessica Matten, and Deanna Allison — in high Indigenous fashion. Without revealing too much, let us say this: The plot most certainly continues to thicken for Joe Leaphorn and company.

The only rule here is that you never follow the rules. From the baddest bulls to your favorite on-screen villain, we’re taking a look at outlaws — the rabble rousers who shaped the West — in our February/March 2025 issue. On the cover is the tough-as-nails bull riding legend J.B. Mauney. After a legendary riding career (Mauney retired from riding in 2023, having earned more money in PBR than any other cowboy), he is now embracing the role of mentor for 11 riders as the Oklahoma Wildcatters try to build a dynasty.

Our January 2025 issue is here and the King of Rock ’n’ Roll graces the cover. This year the world celebrates the 90th birthday of the late, great Elvis Presley. While he certainly did his part to help usher in a new American musical style, he remained more than a little bit country and Western throughout his life. In our latest issue (on newsstands now), we’ve got the goods on his cowboy movies, his love of horses, and the ways to celebrate him at Graceland and around the West. Also in the issue: We work bucking bulls at Arizona’s KEY Ranch; hit Native-owned ski resorts; meet the queen of beef Jess Pryles; entertain mountain guests; announce our 2024 photo contest winners; and more.
