Bill Heavey

the further adventures of America's everyman outdoorsman

Writing for magazines and newspapers for more than twenty years, including two decades at Field & Stream, Bill Heavey is unafraid to draw attention to his many and varied failures -- from sporting French lavender deodorant to scaring a UPS man half to death while bowhunting in his front yard. This is the second collection of Heavey's pieces from Field & Stream, as well as his writing from the Washington Post and elsewhere. In this far-ranging read, Heavey's adventures include nearly freezing to death in Eastern Alaska, hunting ants in the urban jungles of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, and reconnecting to cherished memories of his grandfather through an inherited gun collection
