Experience

As the only child of an avid outdoorsman (who desperately wanted a son), Webb grew up trying to keep up with her dad while he hunted and fished. Although her father could read the woods like an expert, he was utterly lost when it came to words and letters. So as soon as she was old enough to read, he thrust copies of Outdoor Life into her hands so she could read the articles aloud to him in the evenings. The running family joke is that she learned about the birds and the bees while reading a story about the whitetail rut to her dad. Today she is an accomplished hunter, angler, and author in her own right. Her writing has been featured in Field & Stream, Game & Fish, Recoil, Turkey Call, Free Range American, and other publications.

Words of Wisdom

“Not all who wander are lost; Some of us are just looking for lockjaw longbeards on public land.”
