That's how it started.
No.
Yes.
I worked at West Point for eight years as a wildlife biologist and a post forester and a game warden.
And a buddy of mine had developed a tip up with a battery on it and a light.
Yeah, I remember those.
Well, he
He said, hey, let's go out fishing at night for walleyes in this lake.
So we built a big fire and had a little whiskey, you know, and the lake went out, we went out there.
So I wrote a story called The Fisher Lighten.
So I sent it to Paul Smith, Paul Smith sent it to Outdoor Life, and they bought it.
I thought, holy smokes, you know, wow.
The next one was called Beacon in the Forest, where when I'm out there in the woods, I realize that in the fall, the first trees that turn yellow are hickories.
And squirrels love hickories.
So I'd spot a yellow tree, and I'd go there, and I'd sit, and by golly, here's the squirrels all over.
And then they work on the oaks or whatever else.
Sure, yeah.
So I wrote a story called Beacon in the Forest.
