ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Alex Brant, the Founding Editor of Harris Publications and the cofounder/editor/publisher of The Hunting Report, is also a steady contributor to several publications, including Sports Afield, Sporting Life, Outdoor Life, and the NRA's American Hunter and American Rifleman. An avid traveler, he has taken more than twenty African safaris. He has also bird hunted across the globe, from North America to Spain and to Africa. When he isn't spending his time between the handful of U.S. outdoor sports clubs to which he is a member (he holds the Campfire Club's Sporting Clays Record of ninety-four out of one hundred) or participating in driven shoots at Ireland's Humewood Castle and Shillelagh, six labs and a championship English Setter compete for his attention.
