About this title

About the Author

Tom Willard lives in Kenai, Alaska, and spends his spare time learning about nature, either in the role of hunter, fisherman, bird watcher, naturalist, or student. He received an AA Degree at Kenai Peninsula Community College and is continuing his education in biology. Tom is a charter member of the Kenai Peninsula Botanical Society. He is an avid hunter with a Boone and Crockett and two Pope and Young records. Tom's trophies include moose and caribou, brown bears, black bears, wolves, and wolverine. However, killing game has never been a requisite for him to enjoy the outdoors. For Tom, a successful hunting trip is being able to watch animals while remaining undetected. Stalking game is one of his greatest pleasures, and he recalls bears, wolverines, and wolves observed at less than 20 yards. While Tom hunts with others, he prefers solo trips, and has been alone in the bush for up to 3 weeks at a time. This solitude brings him close to his lifelong love, undisturbed nature. Like many Alaskans, Tom is an airplane owner and pilot.
