Current Articles and Work to Come . . .


A short list of some of my articles on newsstands right now, those delivered by membership, and mention of some to come:

* "Autumn Locator Calls" in the Fall 2006 Turkey & Turkey Hunting Magazine. Never tried it? Here's how.

* "Good Ideas for Tough Times" in the Realtree Outdoors 2006 Waterfowl Special (w/ Rod Haydel, Barnie Calef, and Sean Mann, all superb waterfowlers and great interviewees), plus I ghosted their material in the "2006 Realtree Waterfowl Almanac," and even scored a byline of my own for "Jump-Shooting Ducks on Skinny Waters," which is what us upland bird-hunting types do when you put us on a New England tidal saltwater marsh, or a narrow inland freshwater. Topnotch waterfowling magazine.

* "Spring Hunt Your Fall Gobbler" (w/ Ray Eye) in the Sept./Oct. 2006 Turkey Call. It'll make you give up some of your deer hunting.

* "Autumn Tactics for Roosted Turkeys" in the Nov./Dec. 2006 Turkey Call. And yep, that's me posing with a snowy day Wyoming longbeard over my shoulder in John Hafner's great cover shot. Pay attention to Haf. He's got a great eye for an image, and is serious about his craft.

All good magazines to check out right now.

Stuff to come in the near future . . . work in the Ruffed Grouse Society magazine, Turkey Hunting Strategies 2007, Outdoor Life, Turkey Call, Get in the Game, Realtree Outdoors 2007 Turkey Special, and Turkey & Turkey Hunting, plus some others of regional circulation, and my weekly "New England Afield" column and photo support in Foster's Sunday Citizen (Dover/Laconia, NH). Stackpole is publishing my forthcoming turkey book . . . stay tuned.
