About Edgar : Edgar Castillo is a recently retired law enforcement officer for a large Kansas City metropolitan agency. He also served in the United States Marine Corps.

Born in Guatemala, hunting was a new concept when Edgar came to the U.S. His passion lies in the uplands as he travels across public lands throughout Kansas or wherever the dirt road takes him…to hunt open fields, walk treelines, & bust through plum thickets in search of wild birds in wild places.

This fervid emotion for the uplands has since blossomed into a SIGNIFICANT social media presence. It has allowed Edgar to share his experiences and connect with other bird hunters through writing.

This week on Gundog Central we're featuring a brand new contributor to the site, welcome Layton Norwood! Layton's written a short story called 'The First Point' and it's paired with this beautiful artwork from Kate Hall. You can read Layton's article using this link : https://gundogcentral.com/articles/6122/the-first-point

About Layton Norwood : Layton Norwood was raised in a family where dogs outnumbered people and the stories flew faster than the birds. From cattle dogs to coonhounds to bird dogs, there was always something barking, baying, or pointing around the place. He grew up on a steady diet of Louis L’Amour, Elmer Kelton, Robert Ruark, and secondhand tales told loud around the dining table. These days, he’s based in Texas and still chasing stories — and bird dogs — with the hope that his writing finds a home with folks who know the joy of a good dog and a better yarn.
