Eyad H. Yehyawi of Iowa is the author of “Crimson Arrows.” He has been bowhunting for nearly thirty years, traveling across the United States, Canada and Africa. Growing up in southeast Iowa, he gained an appreciation and respect for the outdoors at an early age. A naturalist long before he was a bowhunter, Eyad’s passion for the outdoors dates as far back as he can remember. Whether it was fishing in farm ponds or exploring local woodlots – he always found his way into the fields and forests. Coming from a family with no outdoor experience – his trials and tribulations paved the road toward future successes with a great appreciation for the journey. While majoring in biology at Quincy University, he worked in conservation and wildlife management before deciding to pursue interests in health care. Many of these stories and photos have appeared in magazines including Bow & Arrow Hunting, Bowhunter, Bowhunt America, and Outdoor Life. Eyad currently lives in Iowa with his wife and children, where he practices optometry.
