Should the Tent Be Burning Like That?

For more than twenty years, Bill Heavey—a three-time National Magazine Award finalist—has staked a claim as one of America's best writers. In feature stories and his Field & Stream column A Sportsman's Life, as well as other publications, he has taken readers across the country and beyond to experience his triumphs and failures as a suburban dad who happens to love hunting and fishing.

Accompanying a shaggy steelhead fanatic—Mikey, who has...
