Phone
Call The Sportsman's Guide at +1-800-882-2962. Ask them to stop catalogs for the name and address on the mailer.
A phone request can take 5 to 10 minutes or longer, depending on the phone tree, hold time, and whether they offer a callback.
What to Expect After Opting Out
- Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. A catalog already labeled can still arrive.
- Orders are separate. Stopping catalogs does not stop a shipment, return, or Buyers Club notice they treat as account mail.
- A later list add-back can start it again. A later order or Club signup can put the address back on a file.
Why Do You Receive The Sportsman’s Guide Mail?
The Sportsman’s Guide is an outdoor catalog and website. Outdoorsman Gary Olen started it in his basement in the winter of 1970. Headquarters sits in South St. Paul, Minnesota, near the Mississippi, and they say they have been there more than 40 years. They sell hunting, fishing, camping, and shooting gear, plus private-label lines such as Guide Gear, Bolderton, HQ Issue, and Castle Creek. They also call themselves a world-wide leader in military surplus and run a Buyers Club with everyday discounts. The leftover mail is a catalog, not an order you already placed.
You get that mail if you ordered, joined the Buyers Club, or landed on a list they mail. The leftover catalog is often surplus gear after you already left the field.
How to Prevent General Junk Mail Proactively
-
DMAchoice
DMAchoice is the Association of National Advertisers' mail preference service. An $8 registration asks about 1,100 participating national companies to suppress your address from prospect promotional mail for 10 years. It does not cover local mailers, charity appeals, companies you already buy from, or occupant / current-resident saturation mail. Allow 90 days or longer.
NOTE: DMAchoice will not stop mail from The Sportsman's Guide as it is not an active member of the ANA.
-
OptOutPrescreen
OptOutPrescreen is the official Consumer Credit Reporting Industry site. It lets you opt out of firm offers of credit and insurance for 5 years or permanently.
NOTE: OptOutPrescreen will not opt you out of The Sportsman's Guide mail. It only covers prescreened credit card and insurance offers.
-
PaperKarma
For local and regional mailers, coupon packs, charity donation requests, and the large share of junk mail that DMAchoice does not cover, the PaperKarma app has the largest U.S. registry, with over 100,000 mailers on file.
Your Data Privacy Rights (CCPA & Beyond)
A promotional opt-out stops The Sportsman’s Guide marketing mail. It does not always stop the underlying address from being shared. If you live in a state with an active consumer privacy law (California’s CCPA and several others), you can request access to or deletion of your personal information, and you can opt out of sale, share, or targeted advertising.
Go to the Customer Service page, or call +1-800-882-2962, and ask for a deletion or do-not-share request, and to opt out of catalogs.
Frequently asked questions
How long until The Sportsman's Guide mail stops?
Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. If a catalog arrives during that window, it was likely already printed and labeled before your request was processed.
How do I stop The Sportsman's Guide mail for a previous resident?
Call The Sportsman's Guide at +1-800-882-2962 and include that person’s name and this address, or use the PaperKarma app to scan the mailer, mark the recipient as a previous resident, and submit the opt-out. Do not mark the person as deceased unless they are deceased.
Will The Sportsman's Guide mail stop if I move?
Not automatically. Marketing lists are tied to a specific name and address. A USPS forward can send a few more packets to the new address. Call again for the new address, or use the PaperKarma app there.
