Michael Adams
Mike Adams is a wildlife biologist and outdoor writer hailing from the mid-Atlantic. His work has appeared in numerous outdoor publications, where he uses hunting and fishing narratives to explore deeper issues in conservation or ecology. When he's not at the office or behind his writing desk, he's usually out on the salt marsh, where he hunts ducks out of his Barnegat Bay sneakbox, fly fishes under the cover of night for weakfish, and traps any number of furbearing critters.
