Cheryl Boyd Harner lived in a proverbial big tent in the outdoors world, where she ever preferred to be, rather than inside.
The closest she came to hunting was dining at times on wild game, agreeably so. But as a young girl she enjoyed plinking with a .22 rifle with her dad, the late John Boyd, along the Scioto River near their west-central Ohio home. Then as a younger woman living on western Lake Erie, she fished for and caught walleyes, but too soon ended up cooking and eating them almost daily, out of necessity, to the point where she lost her taste for the fish.
