Three guesses...first two don't count....
Sort of semi-retired now in that I no longer solicit sales but still have a couple regular monthly gigs too keep me in green's fees.
My background bio used for miscellany..
Tony Mandile lives in Glendale, Ariz. and has wandered the waters and woods for more than 50 years in pursuit of game and fish. During that time, he has traveled around North America to fish or hunt in 39 states, 10 Canadian provinces, Africa, New Zealand and Mexico.

His 35-year active membership in the Outdoor Writers Association of America (OWAA) included three years on the board of directors. He has also served on the board of the Western Outdoor Writers (WOW) and the Professional Outdoor Media Association (POMA), both of which he helped organize. He also was a contributing editor for ARIZONA HUNTER & ANGLER magazine for 10 years, and spent seven years as the Arizona editor for OUTDOOR LIFE magazine. Mandile finished his first book project -- HOW TO HUNT COUES DEER -- with noted guide Duwane Adams in 2003. He's now working on book #2.
