Nimrod's Trace is a column dedicated to the quest by hunters to find a path for themselves through the increasingly hostile jungle of modern human civilization. The column title comes from two ideas joined together: 'Nimrod' is a symbolic name for all hunters which originates in the Old Testiment; Nimrod was a son of Ham and a mighty hunter. 'Trace' originally was an old English term meaning to find or follow the best or true path.

Ron Moody, the author of Nimrod's Trace, has been a hunter over the
entire span of his adult life. He currently serves as Vice President for Internal Affairs for the Montana Wildlife Federation, and is a past president of the Southeastern Montana Sportsmen's Association and a former Secretary and Director of the Billings Rod and Gun Club. A hunter by nature he lives in Lewistown, Montana where he runs with a pack of two English Setters, one Black Lab and an "almost trained" Brittany pup.
