Welcome to Days Afield Online, an exclusive source for original fine outdoor writing. If you enjoy the crisp, clean feel of a December morning on your cheek; if your heart's pace quickens at the emergence of the whitetail from the treeline; and if your soul is lifted by the arrogant gobble of the tom, then read on and enjoy tales of days afield, where the season never closes. My work has appeared in the NWTF's Turkey Call Magazine, the QDMA's Quality Whitetails Magazine, Alabama Wildlife Magazine, Great Days Outdoors Magazine, Louisiana Sportsman Magazine, and elsewhere. Most recently, I have written monthly columns for Great Days Outdoors Magazine and Louisiana Sportsman Magazine. I've even been quoted by legendary turkey hunting author Tom Kelly in his 2007 book, "A Fork In The Road." So prop your feet up on a stump, enjoy the crackling fire under the night sky, and come share these Days Afield. It's good to have you in camp. - Roger Guilian

Welcome to Days Afield Online - Fine Outdoor Writing

I would like to welcome you to Days Afield Online, an exclusive source for original fine outdoor writing. If you enjoy the crisp, clean feel of a December morning on your cheek; if your heart's pace quickens at the emergence of the whitetail from the treeline; and if your soul is lifted by the arrogant gobble of the tom, then read on and enjoy tales of days afield, where the season never closes.

Let me tell you a little about myself. I am an average hunter with an above-average love of the outdoors. My family and I live and hunt in beautiful Alabama. My weekdays are spent in an office. Thankfully, a majority of my weekends are spent in God's great outdoors, marveling at His wonderous creation and taking in all it has to offer the sporting conservationist.

Years ago I began collecting my thoughts and observations in journals while I hunted. Those journals led to my first outdoor stories. As time went on, I wrote more and more and eventually began to get some work published. I share some of those stories as well as some originals with you here, and hope you will find pleasure in them - that you might identify with the emotions called forth in them, and that they may inspire you to laugh, reflect, and look forward to your next hunt.

Thank you for visiting. If you have a comment or a criticsm, please share it. Prop your feet up on a stump, enjoy the crackling fire, and come share these Days Afield.
