Polymath scientist- archaeologist- artist- writer- rancher Joe Hutto blew through the other day after running down to Catron County, on his way to home in Wyoming via the Carolinas. He brought us a beautiful dark Late Pleistocene mammoth tooth he had retrieved from the black waters of the Auscilla River on the border of Florida and Georgia.
I am holding a cast of a mastodon tooth given me by Laura Niven, and I really have to get out more this spring-- even given my puffy down vest I look like I outweigh Joe by fifty pounds-- yikes!
Joe's amazing turkey book can be found here. He has one forthcoming on bighorn sheep that may be even better.
Bill Buford did a good piece on Joe in the New Yorker last year but I can't find it online.

This link holds the Buford article but you have to sign up for all of it.
It sounds like a data mining site although they claim they are some kind of public service.

Stephen,
Enjoyed your blog! I have read your books and have enjoyed them! I just started "A Rage for Falcons", and I'm enjoying it.
