Craig Springer

Words have a way with me. I enjoy catching native trout, or walking behind my Lab the color of a biscuit in the blue grouse woods of northern New Mexico with my O/U .20 ga. If my wife and children are with me, all the better. I retired from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a biologist, after 32 years. Authored and co-authored three books. America's Bountiful Waters (Stackpole) is my favorite; Education: Hocking College, A.A.S., recreation and wildlife; New Mexico State University, B.S. fisheries science; University of Arizona, M.S. fish ecology; University of New Mexico, M.A. rhetoric and writing with theses on hydrology and stream habitat modeling, and on the rhetoric of nature and conservation. Professional Outdoor Media Association member. It's all rhetoric.
