Almost every month, someone I know faces a life-altering change-or passes away. It is a reminder that the seasons inevitably come to an end.
Set largely in the uplands and canyons of Eastern Oregon, Next Season asks how an outdoorsman might best spend the years that remain.
Perhaps one answer begins with a day afield-made better still with family, friends, and a dog by one's side.
In the tradition of Twenty Years at the Shamrock Gun Club (2024), Next Season is a collection of reflective bird hunting essays exploring the quiet satisfactions of days afield.
