FROM ENGLAND TO IDAHO:THE SURPRISING RISE OF BRITISH SYTLE HUNTS IN THE AMERICAN WEST

Town & Country Magazine

It’s a sport beloved by kings and queens, one with centuries of tradition for which participants wear custom-made tweeds and tromp across acres of meticulously tended land. Enthusiasts from around the globe will mention one destination where they want to raise their shotguns and take aim—and it’s in Idaho.

FIELD OF DREAMS

Garden & Gun Magazine

What sticks with me most from the shoot is that the human brain doesn’t record the misses. In my mind I can only play back those impossible moments of serendipity when lead cloud and partridge reach the same patch of empty sky at exactly the same instant. Standing at that first peg, it occurs to me that driven shooting is both decadent and highly addictive. It essentially allows you to distill what might normally be an entire season’s worth of wing shooting into thirty minutes.
