Anyone who taught college English to first year students is bound to have had demons.  He and his buddy, Spencer Turner (who I knew from running field trials), hunted in our area quite a bit, and they both worked for our Conservation Department (his early book on American doubles is based out of a series of articles he wrote for the Missouri Conservationist). I wish I had run across them back then...when there were still a few coveys around.
