About the author

Shelly Archer

My husband and I have six grown children and eight grandkids. I work as a human resource manager for our family ran Shipley Donuts business in Texas. This makes for both a fun and very busy life!
I am the daughter of the late Bob Hood who was an avid outdoor writer. While he was exceptionally talented at writing, his love was for the great outdoors. His love and respect for hunting, fishing, and everything outdoors was shared with me from a very early age. i feel that it's my social responsibility to encourage others the way he encouraged me. I have chosen to work with the Texas Outdoor Writers Association to present a yearly scholarship award to a worthy college student in his name. This is my way to give back as well as pay it forward.
