EP 386. The Outlaw Gunner’s Son
“He wasn’t just telling history and collecting stuff. He was writing about a lot of people he grew up with, collecting many things he’d actually used or heard about during boyhood,” says Joe Walsh of his father, Dr. Harry Walsh that authored the landmark book, Outlaw Gunner. Covering some market hunting tools-of-the-trade and old-ways practices while speculating when the last punt guns were likely fired on the Chesapeake Bay–because some old habits died hard–gives way to stories about who Joe’s dad was a duck hunter, father, historian and stalwart conservationist.
“Earth, our home, sits like. jewel in the center of infinity. Ours is the only planet capable of sustaining life as we know it. We share a common environment with other members of the animal kingdom. We hunters must contribute to our own sport and to the preservation of these beautiful birds.” Dr. Harry Walsh, c. 1968

When you come to a fork in the road, take it. Today’s conversation proves the point.

He’s now setting the table for a comeback, explaining his long-term recipe for meaningful conservation in today’s episode.
