Proudly presenting Modern Huntsman Volume 17
Often, when thinking about the natural world, we focus on the landscape and the creatures that inhabit it, while ignoring the human beings who steward our deepest relationships with the land. In contrast, Modern Huntsman Volume 17 is a full-hearted, celebratory song about the people who serve as conduits and connectors; who bridge the gap between awareness and education, driving us from inspiration to action for the good of wild places.
In This Issue:
- Our Literary Huntsman columnist Rick White stretches his legs and teams up with legendary photographer Andy Anderson to profile Idaho Game Warden Jeff Day, one of the many who protect us while we engage with the natural world.
- Wild Food Editor Jesse Griffiths interviews Newfoundland chef Jeremy Charles, who details the grit and ingenious food-sourcing techniques his grandmother Agnes passed down to him.
- The inaugural piece of our new fiction column — The Other Frontier: Fiction from Wild Places — features New York Times bestselling author Nickolas Butler with “Drifting Diesel,” a nod to our relationship with time, the disquieting realities of being alone with nature, and the relationships one finds in unexpected and growing communities.
- A photo essay celebrates the leading Modern Huntsman photographers, who have dedicated their careers to bridging awareness and education in resource management, engaging communities across the world with vital action through their visual narratives.
- Conservation Editor Simon Roosevelt tells the story of the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation, a vital organization that protects our rights to access the land.
- Chris Dombrowski’s “Rowing Ghosts” remembers those we carry with us and those who have defined our time in the field, through the lenses of writing, teaching, and guiding.
- And through the lens of turkey hunting in the American South, Black Duck Revival founder Jonathan Wilkins redefines our historical relationship to a fraught place.
