Fall is a season of passion and acute, outdoor sensations. A chill fills the air, trees dress in sudden blaze orange and autumn ambers. I live for the crackle of a woodstove fire. The time of year when I pack the truck to hunt. My favorite shotguns, my old canvas vest and plenty of red shells. I am an upland hunter. I am also a storyteller. Those two collide every fall and lead me to adventures in both the woods and on the prairie. It’s time to go bird hunting….
