John Meacham, hunter, fisherman, writer
John Meacham has been a hunter and fisherman for most of his 58 years. He grew up pursuing rabbits, squirrels and pheasants and angling for bluegills, catfish, carp and bass in Central Illinois. After earning a degree in journalism from Southern Illinois University, he worked as a reporter, photographer and editor on newspapers in Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina and Tennessee.
Meacham's first outdoor-related humor story, about Dub "Lordnose" Nelson's mounted frog-gigging misadventure, was published in Southern Illinois Outdoors in 1990. Meacham later became editor of that magazine after it became River Country Outdoors. He is a regular columnist for several Midwest regional publications and his stories and articles appear frequently in national publications such as Buckmasters Whitetail Magazine, Petersen's Bowhunting, Turkey Call and the Illinois and Missouri Game & Fish magazines.
"Honey, He Shrunk My Head! and Other Tall Huntin' and Fishin' Tales" is a collection of 21 of John
Meacham's humor stories from the pages of River Country Outdoors, Buckmasters Whitetail Magazine and Buckmasters Beards & Spurs.
The title story, which won an award from the Outdoor Writers Association of America, tells what happens when a beautiful woman and a big buck come between two old rivals.
