Volume Thirteen

Proudly presenting Modern Huntsman Volume 13

In our thirteenth volume we bring you stories exploring relationships with the outdoors, hunting and many of those who have inspired us to spend our lives pursuing those things. With a thematic focus on the impact of family on these pursuits, this collection of stories is sure to inspire and challenge you, especially as we enter the holiday season. 

The volume is full of conversations with game-changing industry leaders driven by the connections that can only be formed in the outdoors including:

• A heartfelt essay from Chris Dombrowski that brings us to the Bahamas to meet one of the world’s best and most resilient bonefish guides, Meko. 
• An autumnal ode to the King of upland birds and time spent with family in the North Woods of Minnesota with contributing editor Jens Heig. 
• A photographic essay from filmmaker and MH International Editor Byron Pace on hunting with the man who taught him everything— his father.
• Trinity Herr explores the multi-generational heritage of hunting in Eastern Oregon and the stories we pass down.
• Randy Newberg, voice of the public land hunter, passes down his Uncle’s guidance on Trapping and Conservation in the Gallatin Valley and across the West.
• Katie Hill’s profile of third-generation taxidermist Alex Martinez and his efforts to stay relevant in the rapidly changing city of Austin, Texas. 
• Art can unify our resolve to protect our wild lands. Rick Bass explores the efforts to conserve the Black Ram forest and the wildlife that call it home.

Volume 13 celebrates our foundations as much as the future, featuring the launch of two new columns, The Watering Hole (focused on spirits and their makers) and Young Guns, which features up-and-coming writers. We also have the return of our Wild Food column with our friend Chef Jesse Griffiths and Literary Huntsman returns with Rick White, discussing the canon of fly fishing prose and poetry.
Contributors for this issue are Anna Avery, Andy Bardon, Rick Bass, Harrison Buck, Brad Christian, Padraig Croke, Noah Davis, Chris Dombrowski, Colin Fuller, Connor Gabbott, Gloria Goñi, Jesse Griffiths, Trinity Herr, Jens Heig, Katie Hill, Terry McDonell, Byron Pace, Paul Puckett, Chelsea Rosson, Tyler Sharp, Wes Walker, and Rick White. Set to deliver in mid-December before Christmas, it will be another quality addition to your bookshelf or coffee table collection.
