The Outdoors

Kelly Bostian is an Iowa boy who developed a knack for writing about the outdoors as a college kid - way back when wild turkeys were scarce - at Iowa State University. He comes to Oklahoma by way of Alaska, where he worked 23 years as outdoor editor and later managing editor of the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner. He comes to Green Country with two beautiful daughters, an extraordinarily tolerant wife, and an 11-year-old female black Labrador retriever named Tag, who knows she's actually the brains behind everything that Kelly does.
