Rob Pavey

Rob Pavey, who pens a weekly outdoors column for The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, has been an avid angler and hunter ever since he realized he had neither the aptitude nor the desire to take up golf. He has been a full-time journalist for 24 years covering - among other things - politics, government, and the environment. He has edited or authored three reference books on fishing history and antique fishing tackle; and his freelance work has appeared in publications including Field & Stream magazine and Gray’s Sporting Journal. He lives in Evans, Ga., with his wife, Tammi; twin stepsons Forrest and Ian; a precocious 6-year-old named Harrison; and a 90-pound bloodhound named Daisy.
