I live, guide and hunt in the West. So, most of my writing centers around western species such as elk, mule deer, and Coues deer. An outdoor writer, I am an author, columnist and editor.
Outdoor Writer
Author
Although I live in the West, I enjoy hunting across the US and sharing the experiences of my hunting adventures as an outdoor writer. I write it all: hunting forecasts, interviews, ‘how-tos’, ’roundups’, short stories, features, and columns. My articles have appeared in Cabela’s Outfitter Journal, Fur-Fish-Game, Rocky Mountain Game & Fish, Western Whitetail Magazine and Western Hunter Magazine to name a few. I am also a voting member of the Professional Outdoor Media Association (POMA).
Columnist
Ethical hunting is a passion of mine; and, as an outdoor writer I try to pass on my hunting ethics practices to others. My column, “Where do you draw the line?” takes a hard look at the ethics of hunters, and encourages all hunters to toe the line.
Where do you draw the line?
As hunters we are all bound by laws, rules and regulations; the combination of which defines the parameters of legal hunting. Figuratively speaking, those boundaries are represented by two parallel lines, which, as hunters, we operate within. How each hunter conducts themselves within the bounding lines defines their personal hunting ethics; and, how the collective group of hunters acts within the lines is how Hunting Ethics is defined. So, where do you draw the line?
