"There are some who can live without wild things and some who cannot." - Aldo Leopold

Campfire Chat


If this was a magazine, this section would be the back page column with a title like "Breaking Camp" or "The Gut Pile." It's the creative writing area.

These have been my favorite pieces to write, inspired a great deal by the late, great Gary Sitton who wrote such columns for Petersen's Hunting when I was younger. Invariably, these are also the least read posts of my catalog, which is always a tad disappointing. Not all of it is Pulitzer quality, but I sure enjoy writing and reading back through them from time to time.
