The Sporting Life Notebook

I wrote the book I wish someone had handed me. When I came to bird hunting, I was a first-generation hunter from Atlanta with no map, no mentor, and no idea where to start. I bought the wrong gear, trained my first dog half-wrong, and walked past more birds than I ever flushed. I felt like an impostor in a world that, in a thousand quiet ways, told me I didn't belong. And then I figured it out — one season, one mistake, one good dog at a time.The Unlikely Upland Hunter is everything I learned the hard way, written for the person standing at the edge of the field, looking in. Shotguns, bird dogs, where to legally hunt when you don't own land, how to read the country, how to make the shot, and the deep tradition underneath it all — written start-from-zero, with no assumed knowledge and no gatekeeping. The cover is my own painting. The story is real.

Thank you so much for honoring me with this beautiful award! Renee and everyone who found it in their hearts to nominate me, I’m ever so grateful!

I REALLY enjoy teaching, despite having left the classroom years ago, I still find myself using the outdoors as the e classroom. Thank you to everyone who came to my workshop! Thank you for the opportunity to collaborate and share!

Hunter education today and tomorrow with ! I’m glad to be back in the educational seat once again and in addition to showcasing double guns and talking bird dogs, I want always leave folks with verbal wisdom and literary knowledge during my workshops. I’ll be plugging Auntie book “Nature Swagger”, .1967 book “Field Guide to Raising Hell”, and book, “Closed Seasons: The Transformation of Hunting in the Modern South.” All of these books I’ve contributed to, but more importantly, I think they are books that illustrate the sporting experience through history and true unique perspectives. So check them out when yall can!
