Ted was on the cover of North American Bear Hunter with his interview with Peter in the Spring of 1995. Ted returned the favor and put Peter on the cover of Ted’s Adventure Outdoors April/May Bear Hunt edition. Peter was the first rifle hunter to make the cover of Ted’s magazine and is believed to be the only rifle hunter to ever be on Ted’s cover.
