I'm not a "Gun Writer," but I have written about guns. I prefer "Outdoor Writer," so I don't get boxed into one category. I've hunted, fished, and enjoyed the outdoors my whole life (born in MI in '54), with five of those years spent as a Hospital Corpsman at Camp Pendleton, CA. I've been a hunting and fishing guide in Maine since 2001, and spent the last three years writing for several regional outdoor magazines. (The Maine Sportsman, Vermont's Outdoors Magazine, and Maine's Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife quarterly). The problem with writing is that it takes me out of the woods and off the water, but writing has been a blessing disquised as work. I've met a load of wonderful people along the way. I'm an awefully slow (but thorough) writer, and monthly deadlines are a killer. I'm thinking of writing a few books, at my own pace--and in my own style. I like popping in to The Campfire now and then to see how the real writers live. Thanks, William Clunie
