For more than 20 years, Eddie Nickens, a member of BHA’s North American board of directors, has been the premier storyteller and scribe of American hunting, fishing and conservation, writing for Field & Stream, Garden and Gun, Audubon and dozens of other publications. It’s a radical understatement to call him an outdoor writer, although the term fits the man who has published the best-selling behemoth of outdoor skills, Field & Stream’s Total Outdoorsman. In our conversation today, Hal and Eddie celebrate the publication of Eddie’s new book, The Last Wild Road, a collection of his all-time best stories from an unmatched life afield in the American wilds.
