Experience
Krebs started working for Outdoor Life as an intern in 2012. Since joining the editorial staff full-time in 2014, she has traveled the country reporting on hunting and conservation issues. She’s covered everything from the R3 crisis and hunter mentoring to in-depth investigative pieces like the proposed mine near Minnesota’s BWCA Wilderness and the duck hunters who were murdered on Tennessee’s Reelfoot Lake.

From 2018 to 2020, Krebs pulled double-duty as Senior Editor for OL’s sister publication, Field & Stream. In 2020, she received the ASME NEXT Award, which recognizes promising journalists under 30. From 2020 to 2023 she served as OL’s Senior Deputy Editor.
