With hunting seasons on the horizon, we thought it was perfect to feature a timeless piece of art by David Wright on our spring issue of American Frontiersman. Wright’s “The Turkey Hunter” was inspired by the taking of his very first gobbler in the early 1980s while fielding a French-style 24 gauge that he built. Wright dedicated the painting to AF’s own contributor J. Wayne Fears, who Wright says was fully responsible for introducing him to the heart-pounding sport of turkey chasing.
As the editorial team embarked on deciding what to put on this issue’s cover, it dawned on us that we hadn’t featured a wild turkey on the cover since 2013, when we used a Paul Calle piece for our premiere issue! After much deliberation we went with “The Turkey Hunter” because it seemed to capture the essence of what AF is all about—the guts, vision and determination to do things yourself. Which is also why we packed this issue with a ton of DIY articles including Crafting a Bow Saw, Bandana Basics, and Repurposing Critter Parts.
So we hope you enjoy the issue, folks, and may you all experience great successes afield this spring.
