Download or read book Hunt the Far Mountain written by Lew Sutherland and published by Raupo. This book was released on 1970 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although in recent years cullers and airborne meat-shooters have taken their toll of Westland's red deer, that, and chamois, the dense bush and rugged terrain will continue indefinitely to protect these game animals. Westland still is, and will always be, a Mecca for the toughest breed of New Zealand hunters. The emphasis must be on the word "toughest", for the climate, the precipitous valleys and the roaring torrents create hazards met nowhere else in the country, and shooters experienced in less formidable hunting areas have always found that Westland conditions present a special challenge to fitness, skill and perseverance. It is for these seasoned men that Lew Sutherland has written this book. It is not intended for the new recruit to New Zealand hunting, but for the man already experienced in bush-craft and marksmanship who has decided to win memorable trophies from the most difficult environment that New Zealand has to offer. A study of this book before the expedition is planned will put such hunters on the way to a happy and rewarding trip. Its advice is based on long, hard, practical experience of the area - and is not lightly to be passed over.

Download or read book Tenth Legion written by Tom Kelly and published by Tom Kelly, Inc.. This book was released on 2021 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tenth Legion has long been considered the greatest - and most hilarious - book on turkey hunting. Yet until now it was only available in a privately published edition. Many people who hunt turkeys do so with an attention to detail, a regard for strategy, tactics, and operations, and a disregard for personal comfort and convenience that ranks second only to war. As for all cultists, it never occurs to them that they may be anachronisms. Supremely unconscious of the rest of the world, blind and deaf to logic and reason, they walk along their different roads in step to the music of their different drums.

Download or read book Time to Hunt written by Stephen Hunter and published by Island Books. This book was released on 2010-08-18 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Stephen Hunter is in a class by himself. Time to Hunt is as vivid and haunting as a moving target in the crosshairs of a sniper scope.”—Nelson Demille, author of Mayday He is the most dangerous man alive. He only wants to live in peace with his family, and forget the war that nearly killed him. . . . It's not going to happen. Stephen Hunter's epic national bestsellers, Point of Impact and Black Light, introduced millions of readers to Bob Lee Swagger, called “Bob the Nailer,” a heroic but flawed Vietnam War veteran forced twice to use his skills as a master sniper to defend his life and his honor. Now, in his grandest, most intensely thrilling adventure yet, Bob the Nailer must face his deadliest foe from Vietnam—and his own demons—to save his wife and daughter. During the latter days of the Vietnam War, deep in-country, a young idealistic Marine named Donny Fenn was cut down by a sniper's bullet as he set out on patrol with Swagger, who himself received a grievous wound. Years later Swagger married Donny's widow, Julie, and together they raise their daughter, Nikki, on a ranch in the isolated Sawtooth Mountains in Idaho. Although he struggles with the painful legacy of Vietnam, Swagger's greatest wish—to leave his violent past behind and live quietly with his family—seems to have come true. Then one idyllic day, a man, a woman, and a girl set out from the ranch on horseback. High on a ridge above a mountain pass, a thousand yards distant, a calm, cold-eyed shooter, one of the world's greatest marksmen, peers through a telescopic sight at the three approaching figures. Out of his tortured past, a mortal enemy has once again found Bob the Nailer. Time to Hunt proves anew why so many consider Stephen Hunter to be our best living thriller writer. With a plot that sweeps from the killing fields of Vietnam to the corridors of power in Washington to the shadowy plots of the new world order, Hunter delivers all the complex, stay-up-all-night action his fans demand in a masterful tale of family heartbreak and international intrigue—and shows why, for Bob Lee Swagger, it's once again time to hunt. Praise for Time to Hunt “Stephen Hunter is simply the best writer of action fiction in the world and Time to Hunt proves it.”—Phillip Margolin, author of The Burning Man “The best straight-up thriller writer at work today.”—Rocky Mountain News
