About the Author
Leading the list of notable authors-which include E. Donnall Thomas Jr., John Barsness, Michael McIntosh, Ted Lundrigan, and Doug Larsen, among others-is Sandy Smith, the former investigative reporter for Time magazine who helped break the Watergate story. Smith puts his veteran reporting skills to the task of uncovering the truth behind Panther's thwarted quest for a national title.

He has interviewed turkey experts north and south as contributing editor for Field & Stream, and is the co-author of Fishing by Mail: The Outdoor Life of a Father and Son. Bourjaily lives in Iowa.

He is the author of 13 books on pheasant hunting, outdoor philosophy and humor, natural history, fishing and fishing boats, trophy deer, health, cooking - even a memoir.

His prairie plant studies have been shown widely in the U.S. and England, includ-ing more than thirty one-person exhibitions at such venues as the British Museum (Natural History), the Missouri Botanical Garden, the Chicago Botanic Garden, and the Royal Horticultural Society.
