When I first began writing outdoor columns for my local newspaper, and later for USA Today publications across the United States, some of the local papers ran a story to introduce me and my writing to their readers. One of the things I really notice when I look back on this story is how much less gray there was in my beard, Jeez-A-Loo!

On a serious note, the story is very well written and will give readers a great idea of who I am and how I got my start as an author / columnist.


I highly recommend all of these companies.  I am not paid to endorse them, nor do they endorse me.  They simply make some of the best outdoor equipment on the market and support some of the outdoor causes closest to my heart.  Whether making sure outdoor habitat and big game are preserved for future generations or making sure we have the best equipment available when we go afield, you can't go wrong with any of these companies - in my opinion of course!
