About the author

Wm. Hovey Smith is a prize-winning author who is uniquely qualified to write a comprehensive hunting guide. He has been an avid user of conventional guns, muzzleloading guns, crossbows, bows and knives who has hunted in 39 U.S. states, Europe and Africa. These activities resulted in his appointment as the Corresponding Editor for Gun Digest covering black-powder guns. In addition, he writes about knives in Knife World and the Krause knife annuals. His previous books have also included Crossbow Hunting (Stackpole, 2006) and Practical Bowfishing (Stoeger, 2004).
Events that provided the basis of Backyard Deer Hunting were derived from living through times when he had a family to support and very little money. These circumstances necessitated that he develop ways to hunt, process and cook wild game as inexpensively as possible. These efforts were published in 13 books and thousands of magazine, newspaper and on-line articles since the 1970s.
With degrees in geology from universities in Georgia and Alaska, his professional work allowed him to hunt throughout North America and discover how others handled their outdoor challenges.
All of these experiences enhanced the author’s ability to describe money-saving ways to hunt, kill, process and cook deer and other game. Like all of the author’s books, Backyard Deer Hunting: Converting deer to dinner for pennies per pound approaches its subject with thoroughness, humor and dashes of the unexpected.
