There’s nothing like the holiday season to remind us of what really matters most in life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn this issue of \u003ci\u003eCovey Rise\u003c\/i\u003e, we followed a group of Land Rover enthusiasts through the streets of London, parading their older trucks about and sharing a sense of the season. It’s easy to imagine that Santa himself would turn to an older Land Rover if the sleigh ever gave him any trouble on his big night. Keeping things British for a bit, we also marked the 250th anniversary of Rigby \u0026amp; Sons, a famed UK gunmaker whose history is equally as compelling as the promise of its future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFor something a little different, we asked artist Fred Stivers to record his experience—using his own words and his iconic images—at the National Championship at Ames Plantation. The combination seems to bring each element to life in unexpected ways. And speaking of bringing things to life, we sit down for a visit with artist Kate Hall, whose colored pencil creations could easily be mistaken for high resolution photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAnd then there’s the bear story. Well, it’s not really a story about a bear. It’s a story about an incredible hunting and fishing lodge in Alaska that unknowingly cast a bear as a supporting actor. If you’ve considered a trip to the northern frontier, this story will pique your interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThese are just the beginning—the tip of the iceberg, to offer a seasonal metaphor. We hope your hunting season is evolving as you’d imagined, maybe better. We appreciate you joining us on this journey and in this lifestyle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCover by Sarah Farnsworth\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Covey Rise","offers":[{"title":"Regular","offer_id":45350095716538,"sku":"CR-V14N1-DJ","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bundle","offer_id":45350095749306,"sku":"CR-V14N1-DJ","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/5665\/files\/V14N1.jpg?v=1763759816"},{"product_id":"vol-14-num-2","title":"Vol. 14 Num. 2","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFebruary-March 2026 Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHunting season is winding down in parts of the country, and we’re already looking forward to the next, making a list of the places you should visit, the folks you should hunt with, and the birds you should chase. And we’re hoping you might squeeze in some trout fishing along the way, maybe even this spring, to keep you outside. The key to a happy life is gratitude and appreciation for the season you’re in paired with excitement and eagerness for the seasons that are to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn this issue of \u003ci\u003eCovey Rise\u003c\/i\u003e, we try to find a balance of all of the above. Our \u003ci\u003eOn Point\u003c\/i\u003e section showcases some of the best hiking boots and shoes on the market, and we hope you’ll join us by lacing up a pair of your choosing and hitting the trails. Your dogs will appreciate the time and adventure, and keeping in shape for next season is always a good idea. If you don’t have a dog to keep you company, take a look at the piece on Drents, a little-known but vibrant member of the spaniel family with a long history in the Netherlands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIf the hiking makes you long for the luxuries of an upland sanctuary, we offer a story on The Preserve and suggest you add it to your destination list, even if you’ve never considered hunting in Rhode Island. The shooting is great, and the amenities will pamper you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIf your closet is whispering quietly for new threads, take an adventure to one of London’s oldest purveyors of upland and country clothing. Cordings offers all manner of tweeds and accessories and is the perfect stop before setting off to an estate for a driven shoot. Let your dreams be your guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFor further guidance, we visit with Bryce Daviess, a wild-bird guide and trout-fishing guru. Hunting and fishing with Bryce is a real treat, but the conversation is ultimately the best part, as our story points out. While there is no such thing as the ideal guide, Bryce comes mighty close, and his perspective and ethic are both inspiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFun seems to be at the core of our message in this and every issue.

Everybody’s seasons vary. Everybody’s target bird may be different depending on the time of the year. And then we throw in seasonal opportunities to travel, to fish, to hunt waterfowl or big game, or to shop for our favorite gear. Upland hunting is relevant in every month from January to December and certainly stands the test of time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn this issue of \u003cem\u003eCovey Rise\u003c\/em\u003e, our yearlong celebration of upland hunting is evident. The cover image of a bobwhite by Russell Graves is sure to make us think about quail at all times, even for those who don’t do that already. The photography by Taylor Glenn that opens the book makes us want to explore the backcountry in search of birds or trout or just for adventure. Anywhere we chase gamebirds, we could probably go fishing too, and this issue’s On Point section features fly-fishing gear to keep trout rising on the water all day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWe start in Michigan by highlighting Meemo’s Farm, where luxury lifestyle is synthesized with home-like comfort and plenty of bird-hunting opportunities. Mark McLean was named Purina’s Dog Handler of the Year, and we explore his life as a dog trainer and trialer. As we know, fine shotguns are timeless, and we promote the revival of E.J. Churchill, London’s home of shooting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHopefully, you have freezers full of upland game—our story on Chef Sarah Rennie documents recipes and techniques for cooking over an open flame. The story on Chrysalis gets our clothing gears turning with a tailored tale about fine garments for shooting sports and the country life. There is no off season for conservation, so our story on Prairie Wildlife hits the issue of quail habitat hard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAs always, Frank mesmerizes us with his antics from a dog’s eye level, and our wine column teaches us a thing or two about the art of the wine list. Robert Parvin Williams features his passion for wingshooting, Ben O. Williams gives us a classic on hunting the heartland in Oklahoma, Miles DeMott makes us think about conservation in a different way, and readers will appreciate the memories between a son and a father with the closing of Doc Blythe’s The Last Hunt column. Make upland hunting your go-to pursuit year-round, and never forget that Covey Rise will be your tour guide for all upland adventures and more, from issue to issue as we go.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCover by Russell Graves\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Covey Rise","offers":[{"title":"Regular","offer_id":45731831021754,"sku":"CR-V14N3-AM","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bundle","offer_id":45731831054522,"sku":"CR-V14N3-AM","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/5665\/files\/V14N3.jpg?v=1774380230"},{"product_id":"vol-14-num-4","title":"Vol. 14 Num. 4","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJune-July 2026 Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe value of creative writing is in jeopardy from the pace of tech innovation, and we are in a fierce battle to protect the virtue of our narrative traditions.

The adventure chasing mountain quail on the Coast Range of the Pacific is a testament to our purpose: telling tales well told. Worth Parker follows pointing dogs on the prairies of South Dakota on a Turner property. The \u003cem\u003eCovey Rise\u003c\/em\u003e team treks north to hunt waterfowl in Alberta, Canada. The wild artistry of the walking stick figuratively comes to life in England, and Westley Richards showcases that they can do much more than create fine guns in stimulating narratives written by Claire Sadler. Who knew there was a versatile hunting breed called the Cesky Fousek? Nancy Anisfield dives into the details of the quality, viability, and health of these cooperative bird dogs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSpeaking of dogs, and we say this with sincere sadness, this issue represents the retirement of our dear friend Frank. In \u003cem\u003eToasting the Hunt\u003c\/em\u003e, Daria Smith tells the bourbon tale of Jeff E. Parrot from what’s in the glass to the glass itself. Reid Bryant reminds us to widen our perspective on both hunting and life. We celebrate summertime wine drinking through the expertise of Jordan Mackay, and Robert Parvin Williams says the best part of these festivities is what happens after dinner. Finally, this issue debuts \u003cem\u003eLast Light\u003c\/em\u003e as the closing column, with a nod to Doc Blythe’s brilliantly written adventures that graced our magazine for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBecause upland experiences are worth the time it takes to tell them, and we appreciate the value of truly creative writing, \u003cem\u003eCovey Rise\u003c\/em\u003e will continue to carry the torch forward to defend the long story.
