I wrote for Dan early on. Haven't done anything in a long time. DGJ was just getting started about the time the first edition of my pheasant hunting book was published. Iowa State University Press was the publisher, and they didn't really know how to promote a hunting book. I basically traded ad space in DGJ for my articles. There were only about 300 of the hard cover books (something over 1,000 paperback), and I think I sold over half of them--signed and numbered--via those DGJ ads. Worked out pretty well for me. Those hardback first editions are now pretty rare on the used book market . . . but the second (revised) edition, which I did 10 years later, is a much better book.
