Cowboy Chef Lenny, aka the Black Mamba, and Doc Blythe add some spice too.

Our journey this issue takes us to several great places from one end of the country to the other. We start our with a Perkins family tradition in Montana.

Join us this issue as we travel to Oxford, Mississippi, and visit with Mike Stewart and his fabulous dogs on our way to the Blue Ridge Mountains and enjoying the breathtaking views at Primland. Head south and enjoy some fine fare at Pine Creek and taste some rare bourbon with Fred Minnick. We look back at an ole witty hunter gone by, Gene Hill, and read about one still going in Montana (Ben O. Williams). 

Vol. 1 Num. 6 – October/November 2013

There is nothing quite like a pheasant hunt at Paul Nelson Farm in South Dakota. We hope you enjoy the story as much as we did the visit. From there, in this issue we head south to the Plantation Wildlife Arts Festival in Thomasville, Georgia, which you don’t want to miss. We also spend some time enjoying the contributions two families have made to the upland sport, one with exceptional habitat and vision in Mississippi and the other with a history of fine gunmaking in Italy. As always, we will sample some good food and have a taste of Irish Whiskey while we take you back to an era during which one enjoyed the upland lifestyle in his own way.
