He also writes regularly about bowhunting, wing-shooting, fly-fishing, sporting dogs, adventure travel, and wildlife for some two dozen other national publications and has additional masthead responsibilities with Gray's Sporting Journal, Ducks Unlimited, Retriever Journal, Big Sky Journal, and Fish Alaska. He has written 16 books on these topics including the bowhunting titles Longbows in the Far North, Longbow Country, and The Double Helix, and his work has appeared in numerous anthologies.
