The Killers in Gilbourne County

Michael E. Newell Michael Newell, a transplanted twenty-three-year resident in “Green Country” (Tulsa) Oklahoma, grew up in rural Michigan, not far from Detroit. Newell has a passion for the outdoors and finds common ground between the hardwood forests he grew up with and the lands in northeast Oklahoma. At an early age, Newell learned wilderness life by exploring the hundreds of acres of open lands that were, in effect, his back yard. Newell, following his father’s lead, developed a keen passion for hunting, and in particular, an affinity for hunting whitetail deer. Newell and his wife, Linda, live an "empty-nester" lifestyle with their four dogs, Lucy, Bravo, Megan, and Shannon.
