Andrew M. Wayment (Andy) graduated from law school in May of 2001. He is currently a partner at Tolson and Wayment PLLC in Idaho Falls, Idaho, focusing on estate planning, probate, business, and real estate. His favorite area of practice is in conservation, working with numerous land trusts in the great state of Idaho to create conservation easements. Andy is also a freelance writer and has written numerous articles for various magazines and published three books:
Heaven on Earth: Stories of Fly Fishing, Fun and Faith, Idaho
Ruffed Grouse Hunting: The Heartbeat of the Woods
Idaho Upland Days: Reflections on Bird Dogs, Banner Days, and Other Roadside Revelations.
His fourth book, Idaho Grouse Fever, has just been accepted for publication with the History Press and is expected to be released in 2026. Andy has a wife, Kristen, and his six children, four daughters and two sons, ranging in age from 28 to 13. He also has two bird dogs, Rainy, a French Brittany, and Aki, a golden retriever. Andy is the assistant coach for the Skyline High School trap shooting team that took second in state last year.
And Andy loves the outdoors. When he's not working or hanging with his family, he's either chasing grouse or some kind of fish on the fly or writing about his misadventures. You can find some of his work online at www.uplandways.com.
Topics covered include:
- Hunting with a pointer and a flusher
- Encounters with moose and hornets
- Writing about hunting spots and taking readers to those places
- Mexican grouse recipes
- The peace that Andy feels in the uplands
