Phil Bourjaily sold his first outdoor story—on snipe
hunting—to Field & Stream in 1985. Today, he is the
magazine's Shotguns columnist and co-writer, with David Petzal, of
the "The Gun Nut" blog on Fieldandstream.com. He is the author of
the Field & Stream Turkey Hunting Handbook and, as a
turkey hunter, has renounced early mornings in favor of sleeping in
and killing spring gobblers between the hours of 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.
He makes his home, with his wife and two sons, in his birthplace of
Iowa City, Iowa.
