DEER TAILS & OTHER TALES

About the Book

This book consists of forty-three individual stories of true hunting, fishing, or related events, experienced by the author, his relatives and friends, over a period of sixty-five years. I began writing these stories when I realized they were an important part of my life, and would be lost forever, unless they were recorded for posterity. I eventually amassed over eighty different stories, but that was too much writing for my book. As a result I have reduced it nearly in half, by editing out all but the most interesting and memorable stories. They are humorous, unbelievable, factual, informational, and frightening, and I hope they make interest reading.

I enjoy writing, and am a staff writer for the online sporting magazine: Maine Hunting Today. In the summer I live at the cottage on North Pond, Woodstock, and winters in Plant City, Florida. I was born in Rangeley, Maine, but was brought up and attended school in West Paris. I enjoy woodworking, and have built furniture; wooden boats, and both traditional and cedar strip canoes, and hand hewn paddles. I tie my own trout flies. I also enjoy woodcarving, so it's a busy and productive life.
