The best way to learn about the world we live in is by getting out there and experiencing it. No matter where your pursuit of the hunt may take you, there will always be something new and wonderful waiting to be discovered.

In this issue of Covey Rise, we fly to the far reaches of the globe to visit the people and places of the Olsen Family’s collection of lodges in Argentina and Patagonia. The food and hospitality in Argentina are beyond compare, and the adventure is worth the time and expense a million times over. If Europe seems more tempting than South America though, we also explore the world of a longtime Covey Rise contributor Roger Catchpole, whose family business includes a history of upland and driven shooting around the globe.

Closer to home, we spend a day at the Cocker Nationals, a field trial series that focuses on the most fun and perhaps ablest of the sporting breeds—the English cocker spaniel. We also take a look at a small corner of Nebraska festooned with enormous numbers of sandhill cranes for a brief moment as they migrate. For perspective and edification, Frank gives us a look at the ceaseless march of time in a sportsman’s life from a bird dog’s perspective, and Beatrice Biguet, a Swedish psychologist and hunter, examines the psychology of hunting in the hope of conserving what is uniquely human in this world.

These are just a few of the insights and entertainments that await you in this issue. As always, we appreciate you joining us on this journey. It’s a big world with lots of things to teach us, and bringing you these and other stories is a lot more fun than surfing the interwebs or reading the Encyclopædia Britannica. At least that’s the way we look at it, and we hope you feel the same.
