As an accomplished writer\, his work has been published in national magazines including Reader’s Digest\, Persimmon Hill and numerous equine magazines\, including Western Horseman. The American Horse Publications honored him as a winner in their Feature Article category. \n\n\n\nJim rode horses before he could walk. He grew up on the Sun Ranch\, a large cattle and horse ranch in the Madison Valley in southwest Montana with a father who was an avid horseman and well-respected cowboy in the area. He grew up believing that cowboys were special. His father helped him begin training horses and later he learned from Ray Hunt and Tom Dorrance. \n\n\n\nJim’s adult life was filled with roping and rodeos along with raising two daughters with his wife amongst his many horses in the shadow of Montana’s Crazy Mountains. \n\n\n\nJim loves to write\, except when he hates it\, and although he is old enough to know better\, Jim still rides and trains horses. He is passionate about telling stories of the contemporary West that demonstrate the physical toughness\, mental determination\, and dependence on community inherent to ranching and rodeo. His first book\, A Montana Rivalry\, released by Palmetto Publishing in fall of 2023\, is the first book in the Rodeo in The Blood Series. Since then\, three more have been published: A Montana Inheritance\, A Montana Feud\, and The Canadian Horse.

As a lifelong notebook and journal collector\, I have been searching for the perfect journaling method. I’ve tried it all—guided journals\, stream of consciousness\, bullet journals\, scrapbooks\, digital journals\, even Tumblr! None of these methods clicked for me. Instead\, I created a looming stack of nearly empty notebooks that had been “ruined” (or completely empty ones that were too perfect for me to use). Little did I know\, John Locke—yes\, ye old 17th century John Locke\, had solved my problem 400 years ago with the commonplace book. \n\n\n\nWhat is a commonplace book\, you ask? A commonplace book is a way to gather everything in one spot. Thoughts\, ideas\, keepsakes\, journal entries\, lists\, brain dumps\, pressed leaves\, business cards\, that one joke you don’t want to ever forget\, the random sequin you found on the porch that has to be a sign from the universe (yes—I have one of these in my commonplace book)\, the notes you take during the documentary on the microbiome that you don’t have anyplace else to put\, your list of suspects and clues that you know will solve that cold case from 1905. Anything! Everything! With a table of contents\, glossary\, and index\, you’ll never misplace these important items again. \n\n\n\nFor the workshop\, you’ll want to bring a new notebook. All other supplies will be provided\, but you can start gathering items you want to save in your book: thank you notes\, newspaper clippings\, new-to-you vocabulary words\, favorite quotes and poems\, etc. You don’t need to bring any of these items\, but you might get more out of our time together. Not only has this method simplified my life\, but it has given me a safe space to be creative and curious. \n\n\n\nSo\, grab that beautiful notebook that you love but have been too afraid to use\, and let’s get commonplacing!  \n\n\n\n—Natalie Jackman  \n\n\n\nIf you have questions\, feel free to reach out to me beforehand at 406-823-0112.

Osborne\, for a book signing on Saturday\, August 9th from 11 am to 2 pm. \n\n\n\n“As an avid bow hunter and outdoorsman\, I’ve been fortunate to enjoy some of the most breathtaking landscapes that Montana has to offer. From the rugged peaks of the Rocky Mountains to the serene valleys and flowing rivers\, every adventure strengthens my connection to nature and fuels my passion for storytelling. My experiences in the wilderness have not only provided endless inspiration for my books but have also taught me valuable lessons about patience\, perseverance\, and respect. Whether I’m bugling elk in the dense timber or stalking pronghorn antelope in open prairies\, each moment spent in the wild has deepened my appreciation for the outdoors and its untamed beauty. \n\n\n\nMy works of fiction\, like Trapper Creek and Timberline Justice\, reflect thrilling hunts and deep bonds of friendship and family. My characters face not only the challenges posed by nature but also chilling\, unsuspected encounters with the worst in men. \n\n\n\nMy Monster Masher series of children’s books offers an exciting collection of short stories that captivate kids of all ages. These thrilling adventures not only ignite young imaginations but also impart essential life lessons.” URL:https://wheatgrassbooks.com/event/g-a-osborne/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://wheatgrassbooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/GLENOSBORNEFLYER.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20250802T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20250802T140000 DTSTAMP:20250705T000029Z CREATED:20250704T235946Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250705T000029Z UID:20462-1754132400-1754143200@wheatgrassbooks.com SUMMARY:Tiger C.

Kiesling & John B. Wright DESCRIPTION:BOOK SIGNING\n\n\n\nBruce A Bugbee\, Robert J. Kiesling & John B. Wright\n\n\n\nJoin us for a book signing with authors Bruce A. Bugbee\, Robert J. Kiesling\, and John B. Wright\, Saving the Big Sky: A Chronicle of Land Conservation in Montana\, during the July Art Walk on Friday\, July 25th from 5 to 8 pm. \n\n\n\nSaving the Big Sky: A Chronicle of Land Conservation in Montana written by Bruce A. Bugbee\, Robert J. Kiesling\, and John B. Wright with photographs by Kevin League; contributions from the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes\, Shane Doyle (Apsáalooke)\, Steve Running\, and Todd Wilkinson and maps supervised by Kevin McManigal and Hannah Shafer is published by Oregon State University Press July 1\, 2025. The essential purpose of Saving the Big Sky is to inspire the reader to help conserve even more of Montana\,” write Bruce Bugbee\, Robert Kiesling\, and John Wright in this compelling study of how six million acres of biodiverse land were conserved in Montana over the past fifty years. Indigenous and non-Indigenous knowledge about land stewardship has evolved and since the 1970s tribes\, nonprofit organizations\, land trusts\, and government agencies have conserved land in many creative ways. Beautifully illustrated with more than ninety color photographs and thirty detailed maps\, Saving the Big Sky showcases land conservation achievements across eight regions of the state: the Rocky Mountain Front\, the Blackfoot Valley\, the Greater Yellowstone\, the Missoula Region\, the Helena Region\, Northwest Montana\, the Flathead Indian Reservation\, and the American Prairie. Land protection is shown to work best when large\, intact\, connected landscapes can be conserved\, rather than small\, fragmented\, isolated parcels. Conservationists have found that landowners in Montana more widely accept conservation easements and other voluntary\, financially compensating tools that respect private property rights. The brilliant images and striking before-and-after maps featured here celebrate the ranches\, farms\, wildlife habitats\, and scenic open spaces that are forever safeguarded. In documenting conservation accomplishments and suggesting what more can be done\, Saving the Big Sky invites readers to participate in conserving Montana—or whatever cherished landscape they call home. “Conjured from afar\, the name Montana rings in the mind like a bell\, romantic apotheosis of all that’s wild and fresh about the American West. But those of us who know the state personally understand the enormous effort required to keep Montana the inspirational place it’s been for so long. In Saving the Big Sky\, readers from the far away to the nearby now have a superb volume in hand to teach us all just how to keep Montana magical.” —Dan Flores\, New York Times bestselling author of Coyote America: A Natural and Supernatural History and Wild New World: The Epic Story of Animals and People in America “Montana is robust and precious. Hereabouts we treasure what’s natural and wild. At a time when so many Americans get their notions of the state from a cheesy horse opera titled Yellowstone\, it couldn’t be more important to present certain realities—about what’s worth conserving\, and how best to conserve that—in a tapestry made vivid not by fantasy but by fact. Bugbee\, Kiesling\, and Wright do that superbly (with a bit of crucial help from Shane Doyle) in this deeply informed\, loving book.” —David Quammen\, New York Times bestselling author of The Song of the Dodo: Island Biogeography in an Age of Extinctions About the Authors:Bruce A. Bugbee is a land conservation consultant and foundr of American Public Land Exchange. John B. Wright has completed over one hundred conservation easements in Montana and the Rocky Mountain West and is professor emeritus of geography and environmental studies at New Mexico State University. Robert J. Kiesling is a real estate broker\, conservation consultant\, and former executive director of the Montana Environmental Information Center and the Big Sky (Montana/Wyoming) office of The Nature Conservancy.

Andy will be at Wheatgrass from 11 am to 2 pm with his newly released book\, MONTANA: Photographs from the Last Best Place\, a 288-page\, 12-by-12-inch hardcover collection capturing the stunning diversity of Big Sky Country. “This book isn’t just about showing off scenic places\, it’s about sharing the soul of Montana\,” said Austin. “Every photo carries a story\, a memory\, or a moment that shaped how I see this place.” Designed as a large-format 12″x12″ hardcover\, MONTANA: Photographs from the Last Best Place is organized by region and showcases all six official tourism regions of Montana. The book depicts the state’s diverse landscapes\, from the badlands and sweeping prairies in the east to the towering mountains west of the Continental Divide\, as well as historic mining towns and ranchlands of the southwest and the rugged river breaks of central Montana. While iconic places like Glacier and Yellowstone national parks are included\, the book’s heart lies in showcasing that Montana is so much more than just our national parks — it’s also the backroads\, small towns\, tribal nations\, and wild spaces that don’t always make the postcards. Austin comes by his love for Montana’s wild places and vast spaces naturally\, as he was raised in Billings\, Montana. He earned his college degree from Montana State University in Bozeman\, where he also played football for the MSU Bobcats. After graduating\, he traded his helmet for a camera and has traveled extensively to all 56 counties in Montana\, documenting everything from remote wilderness landscapes to the cultural richness of local powwows\, small-town rodeos and tight-knit communities. His work reflects a deep respect for the land and the people who call it home. With a social media following of over 300\,000 and a reputation for authentic storytelling\, Austin’s work has been featured by top travel brands\, tourism boards and outdoor publications around the globe. This book marks his first published collection.  Learn more about Austin at andyaustinphoto.com.    URL:https://wheatgrassbooks.com/event/andy-austin/ CATEGORIES:Book Signing ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://wheatgrassbooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/unnamed.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20250627T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20250627T203000 DTSTAMP:20250601T221259Z CREATED:20250428T230945Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250601T221259Z UID:20320-1751045400-1751056200@wheatgrassbooks.com SUMMARY:The Subversive Stitch...threading the needle DESCRIPTION:EXHIBIT & ARTIST RECEPTION\n\n\n\nThe Subversive Stitch…threading the needle\n\n\n\nWheatgrass Books will host six artists for the first Art Walk of the Summer 2025 Season with an opening reception June 27th from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm. The Subversive Stitch is curated by local artist Traci Jo Isaly. \n\n\n\n“Historically\, humans have found ways of communicating through the mastery of self-expression.  That which cannot be articulated in words\, is oftentimes demonstrated by creating with the hands. Anything we create with our hands; a painting\, wooden objects\, clay objects\, woven baskets\, woven anything\, forged objects…the list goes on and on\, is a form of self-expression. Working with fiber and thread is no exception. Creating from bits of cloth and fibers\, sewn or woven together in a cohesive manner\, can lead to some of the most brilliant works of art ever created. Needles made from bone and ivory have been discovered in primitive archeological sites around the globe. Humans have been stitching/weaving since time immortal.  As an artist\, when threads dance with a needle\, you never know for certain where the dance will take you.  \n\n\n\nThe Subversive Stitch brings together 6 talented artists; everyday people\, who are carving out a creative life\, living the best life\, with thread and needle in hand. \n\n\n\nI got the idea for the title of this show from a book called\, The Subversive Stitch\, by Roszika Parker\, published in 1984.

The tallest peak in North America\, the fierce polar mountain loomed large in many climbers’ imaginations\, and Grace\, a doctor in Alaska\, had come close to the top\, only to be turned back by altitude sickness and a storm that took the lives of seven fellow climbers in one remorseless blow. Other expeditions denied her a place because of her gender\, and when a letter arrived from a climber in California named Arlene Blum\, who’d also been barred from expeditions—unless she stayed in base camp and cooked for the men\, Grace got a defiant idea: she would organize and lead the first-ever all-female ascent of the frozen Alaskan peak. Everyone told the “Denali Damsels\,” as the team called themselves\, that it couldn’t be done. Women were incapable of climbing mountains on their own. Men had walked on the moon; women still had not stood on the highest points on Earth. But these six women were unwilling to be limited by sexists and misogynists. They pushed past barriers in society at large\, the climbing world\, and their own bodies. And then\, when disaster struck at the worst time on their expedition\, they could either keep their wits and prove their mettle or die and confirm the worst opinions of men. About Cassidy RandallCassidy Randall is an award-winning writer who tells stories on the environment\, adventure\, and people who expand human potential. Her stories have appeared in Rolling Stone\, National Geographic\, the New York Times\, TIME\, Atavist\, Outside\, and Men’s Journal\, among others.

Pellet DESCRIPTION:BOOK SIGNING\n\n\n\nClem C. Pellet\n\n\n\nJoin us Saturday\, June 7th from 11 am to 2 pm for an author event with Clem C. Pellet\, author of Murder on Montana’s Hi-Line. \n\n\n\nAbout the BookDuring an intense spring blizzard in 1951\, affable Clarence Pellett picked up a teenaged hitchhiker along Montana’s Hi-Line. Soon\, blood from seven bullet holes in Pellett’s back stained the snow-covered prairie. Following a brief manhunt and confession\, a heated debate ensued over capital punishment as Communist attorneys swooped in “to save this poor friendless boy.”Frank Dryman\, twice sentenced to hang\, escaped the noose when a sympathetic Montana Supreme Court stayed each execution. The “permanently insane and mentally deficient” killer was paroled into the custody of his brother in California after serving thirteen years of a life sentence. Eighteen months later\, he vanished. Using a series of aliases\, Dryman hid in plain sight for forty years despite state and federal warrants. Clem Pellett recounts the enthralling twists and turns of his hunt for his grandfather’s absconded murderer—the longest in state history. Currently\, Dr. Pellett is part of the production team for the movie Pellett\, based on this true story. The producers of Pellet hope their film will tap into the strength of the story of a central Montana murder that happened 67 years ago\, and the decades long quest to return the killer to justice. “It’s going to be a Montana story that’s told in Montana and with Montana help and resources\,” said Clem Pellett\, grandson of Clarence Pellett\, who died at the hand of Frank Dryman seven decades ago. “It’s also about the McCarthy era\, communism and how it was treated. It’s about the death penalty. It’s about the argument on both sides even from the 1950s perspective. You’re going to really step into that era. We’re going to put together that mindset on the decisions made back then\, based upon what the culture and the situation at the time.” Of the book and the movie\, Clem Pellet says: “I’m so excited to finally have the family story told. Fifteen years in the making\, doing the research – – combing through FBI files\, interviewing primary witnesses\, collecting documents\, letters\, transcripts etc.\, it’s very satisfying. “The movie has been a long eight years in production. We had to get through Covid\, historical Hollywood strikes\, and compete with other states for movie tax credit. The production team was totally dedicated to filming this in Montana and to make it an authentic Montana story. The team is so dedicated to authenticity\, we use the actual murder weapon as a prop in the movie. The film is due to come out sometime this fall.  “My book and the movie are completely complementary\, which is to say the movie is the main course. The book can be an appetizer or a dessert\, but between the two you’ll get a total story of the true Montana Saga.” About the AuthorMontana native Dr. Clem C. Pellett received his undergraduate degree from Montana State University in Bozeman and a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Creighton University in Omaha and completed his residency at the Mayo Clinic’s Graduate School of Medicine in Rochester\, Minnesota. After nearly three decades\, he changed careers. Inspired by his successful quest tracking down the murderer of his grandfather\, he earned a certificate of private investigation from Boston University.

Many of the great themes of the American West are at play here — man against the wild\, man against man\, and man against himself; killing and nurture\, numbness and vulnerability\, isolation and connection. I was stunned time and again by Riley’s tender exploration of what it takes to heal both heart and hearth.— Teresa Jordan\, Buddhist chaplain and author of Riding the White Horse Home When Michael Riley bought a 1917 farmhouse on the Yellowstone River fifteen miles from where he grew up\, he had no idea what he was getting into. Much of what was in store for him wasn’t exactly “a delight\,” including the presence of an enormous bat colony and decades of guano. But luckily for readers\, his memoir that chronicles reclaiming the house\, evicting the bats\, and contemplating the life that had led him to this post-retirement purchase is absolutely a delight. While he deftly uses his bat nemesis as a central axis to this moving memoir\, the book is a love story about a forty-plus year marriage to a remarkable woman\, about decades of teaching inspiring (and challenging) students\, about rivers and mountains and dogs and poker\, about sobriety and acceptance\, and yes\, even about a love affair—of sorts—with bats.The Bat House\, A Montana Memoir centers on Riley’s renovation of a 1917 farmhouse which he discovered was the maternal roosting space for little brown bats. Fifteen miles from where Riley was raised along the Yellowstone River in Montana\, the two-story brick house is an icon in the county. Built by oil drillers where only a buffalo hunter’s cabin had been\, it stood as a mansion close to the Milwaukee Railroad and a few hundred yards from the river. The memoir charts its changing environment as well as the author’s journey from loathing bats\, fearing them\, and wanting to eradicate them\, to accepting and honoring them. Four narrative threads weave through the memoir’s fifteen years in a vignette like structure: the challenging life of renovation\, a professional life 200 miles away in Wyoming\, family life\, and memories of growing up in eastern Montana.The book reveals the emotional trials of dealing with financial stress\, his wife’s cancer diagnosis\, drought and flood\, resolving an addictive past\, and the loss of venerable history. Revelation arrives through learning the crucial role of bats in our ecosystem and the unexpected benefits of practicing yoga.About the Author:Mike Riley grew up along the Yellowstone River in eastern Montana. He taught English and Journalism at Montana State Prison\, Cody High School\, the Texas School for the Deaf\, Blackfeet Community College\, on Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands\, the University of Montana\, and Northwest College\, and received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Journalism Education Association before retiring in Cody\, Wyoming. He has an MFA in fiction writing from the University of Montana where he won the TransAtlantic Henfield Award for short fiction and fellowships from the Montana Arts Council and the Wyoming Arts Council\, serving as writer in residence for both. He is at work on collections of essays and poetry\, as well as a historical novel set in first century Rome.Riley’s generous and elegant memoir of marriage and house-holding is ceaselessly instructive and unflinchingly celebratory of both. Read it. Then give it to someone you love.— Richard FordWritten in sharp\, smart\, precise prose that is charming and genuineeven in the moments when Riley is gruff\, skeptical\, or philosophical\, he proves exactly the sort of friend you wish you deserved\, the teacher you wish you had\, and the writer who you wish could accompany you everywhere. The Bat House swoops and dives with grace through beauty\, despair\, and wonder\, and readers will find themselves as plagued by the changing world and their place in it just as Riley is plagued by bats and lifted by memories.— Mark Hummel\, author of Man\, Underground URL:https://wheatgrassbooks.com/event/mike-riley/ CATEGORIES:Book Signing ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://wheatgrassbooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/unnamed-1-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20250309T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20250309T113000 DTSTAMP:20241207T023229Z CREATED:20241207T023226Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241207T023229Z UID:20104-1741514400-1741519800@wheatgrassbooks.com SUMMARY:Upstairs at Wheatgrass Books: Sunday Stretch Series with Anna Vanuga DESCRIPTION:Upstairs at Wheatgrass Books: Sunday Stretch Series with Anna Vanuga\n\n\n\nJAN. 19\, FEB. 2 & 16\, MARCH 9 & 23Seasonally inspired classes offering a gentle fusion of yin yoga\, deep fascia release\, and breathwork techniques designed to ease tension\, create space in your body\, and leave you feeling more open\, grounded\, and restored.  \n\n\n\nLEARN MORE & SIGNUP HERE \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n November 29\, 2025 \n\n \n @ \n \n 11:00 am \n \n \n – \n \n \n 2:00 pm \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n Add to calendar \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n Google Calendar \n \n \n \n iCalendar \n \n \n \n Outlook 365 \n \n \n \n Outlook Live URL:https://wheatgrassbooks.com/event/upstairs-at-wheatgrass-books-sunday-stretch-series-with-anna-vanuga-4/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://wheatgrassbooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/unnamed-34.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20250216T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20250216T113000 DTSTAMP:20241207T023041Z CREATED:20241207T023039Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241207T023041Z UID:20101-1739700000-1739705400@wheatgrassbooks.com SUMMARY:Upstairs at Wheatgrass Books: Sunday Stretch Series with Anna Vanuga DESCRIPTION:Upstairs at Wheatgrass Books: Sunday Stretch Series with Anna Vanuga\n\n\n\nJAN. 19\, FEB. 2 & 16\, MARCH 9 & 23Seasonally inspired classes offering a gentle fusion of yin yoga\, deep fascia release\, and breathwork techniques designed to ease tension\, create space in your body\, and leave you feeling more open\, grounded\, and restored.  \n\n\n\nLEARN MORE & SIGNUP HERE \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n November 29\, 2025 \n\n \n @ \n \n 11:00 am \n \n \n – \n \n \n 2:00 pm \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n Add to calendar \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n Google Calendar \n \n \n \n iCalendar \n \n \n \n Outlook 365 \n \n \n \n Outlook Live URL:https://wheatgrassbooks.com/event/upstairs-at-wheatgrass-books-sunday-stretch-series-with-anna-vanuga-3/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://wheatgrassbooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/unnamed-34.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20250215T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20250215T140000 DTSTAMP:20250203T042113Z CREATED:20250203T041413Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250203T042113Z UID:20179-1739617200-1739628000@wheatgrassbooks.com SUMMARY:Brittnay Sears DESCRIPTION:BOOK SIGNING\n\n\n\nBrittnay Sears\n\n\n\nWheatgrass will host Billings author Brittnay Sears for a Saturday Signing February 15th from 11 am – 2 pm. \n\n\n\nThe Left Hand\, the debut novel by author Brittnay Sears\, is a romance thriller based on the author’s grandparents.

The main character\, the author’s grandmother\, assists her husband’s path up the ranks\, essentially doing the dirty work from behind the scenes.

A vision board can serve as a visual image of where you want to go in specific areas of your life. They encourage you to focus on what goals you want to achieve. When you create a physical image of what you want\, it serves as a reminder of what your priorities are and can serve as a road map on how to get there.  \n\n\n\nOn January 5\, 2025\, 1:00 -4:00 p.m.\,  Traci Isaly will head up a group of individuals who want to set the intention to manifest their dreams and goals for 2025. Each participant will create their own Vision Board. Class-size is limited to 16 people. Suggested payment is $20. Participants should bring magazines\, pens\, pencils\, and scissors for their own use.  \n\n\n\nWooden boards for Vision Boards will be provided\, as well as glue. Also warm soup and other nibbles will be provided to sustain while you create.

Enjoy refreshments\, discounts and a chat with author Matt Wemple who will be signing copies of his book\, Montana Duck Hunting Tales\, from 5pm to 8pm. \n\n\n\nTo hunt ducks in Montana—where the land breathes history—is to experience extremes in geography\, weather and wildlife. The breadth of mountains and prairie is unlike anywhere else in the Lower 48. Both the Central and Pacific flyways span the state’s iconic wetlands\, rivers and lakes. Hunting opportunities abound thanks to the state’s wildlife conservation legacy on public and private lands. Hunters walk in the footsteps of plains Indians\, Lewis and Clark and mountain men while looking for a spot to pitch decoys. Embark on an epic and distinct Big Sky journey with author and hunter Matt Wemple\, where a moose or grizzly bear could stroll through the decoys at any time.  \n\n\n\nMatt Wemple is an avid outdoorsman\, writer and photographer. His work has appeared in numerous publications\, including Field and Stream\, Backcountry Journal\, Montana Sporting Journal and many more. Matt writes monthly for the Lewis and Clark Journal. His previous books include The Duck Camp\, To Hunt Ducks and Headwaters Country: Everyday Life in Southwest Montana. He works full time as a Montana game warden and serves in the Montana National Guard. See more of his work at mattwempleoutdoors.com.
