Description
Each carefully selected story takes us through the author's adventures in the outdoors. The stories are filled with true-life antidotes of sport fishing and hunting experiences that encompass a large portion of a lifetime of adventure. The author demonstrates his writing ability by letting the reader feel each story as they eagerly read through. As each story is presented, our ever-present conservation concerns are addressed with emphasis on the philosophy of fair chase and outdoor ethics, a philosophy any true outdoor adventurer will appreciate.
