I've been a fulltime outdoor writer and photographer for almost 50 years. My first book (the 1st edition of Deer Hunting) was published in 1978 and I've written more than 30 other books since then, including 3 more editions of that first book. Besides books, I've produced 2 DVDs (Field Judging Black Bears and Walking With Whitetails). I also write for a number of outdoor magazines on the state, regional and national level.
