Download or read book Poachers written by Tom Franklin and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Edgar Award winner, Tom Franklin’s Poachers collects ten stunning, bleak tales set in the woodlands, swamps and chemical plants along the Alabama River. Staking his claim as a fresh, original Southern voice, Tom Frankin’s lyric, deceptively simple prose conjures a world where the default setting is violence, a world of hunting and fishing, gambling and losing, drinking and poaching—a world most of us have never seen. In the chilling title novella, three wild boys confront a mythic game warden as mysterious and deadly as the river they haunt. And, as a weathered, hand-painted sign reads: “Jesus is not coming.” This terrain isn’t pretty, isn’t for the weak of heart, but in these deperate, lost people, Franklin somehow finds the moments of grace that make them what they so abundantly are: human. “While he may occasionally wax sentimental about life in the impoverished South, Franklin’s style is often as laconic and simply spoken as his characters’ dialogue, sometimes close to Hemingway, but more often akin to Denis Johnson or Raymond Carver in its resonant ordinariness.” —Publishers Weekly
Download or read book The Confessions of a Poacher written by John F.L.S. Watson and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2021-04-25 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poacher of these "Confessions" is no imaginary being. In the following pages the author has set down nothing but what has come within his own personal experience; and, although the little book is full of strange inconsistencies, he cannot, knowing the man, call them by a harder name. Nature made old "Phil" a Poacher, but she made him a Sportsman and a Naturalist at the same time. Although eighty years of age there is still some of the old erectness in his carriage; some of the old fire in his eyes. As a young man he was handsome, though now his features are battered out of all original conception. His silvery hair still covers a lion-like head, and his tanned cheeks are hard and firm. If his life has been a lawless one he has paid heavily for his wrong doings. Great as a poacher, he must have been great whatever he had been.
Download or read book Poacher s Pilgrimage written by Alastair McIntosh and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The islands of the Outer Hebrides are home to some of the most remote and spectacular scenery in the world. They host an astonishing range of mysterious structures - stone circles, beehive dwellings, holy wells and 'temples' from the Celtic era. Over a twelve-day pilgrimage, often in appalling conditions, Alastair McIntosh returns to the islands of his childhood and explores the meaning of these places. Traversing moors and mountains, struggling through torrential rivers, he walks from the most southerly tip of Harris to the northerly Butt of Lewis. The book is a walk through space and time, across a physical landscape and into a spiritual one. As he battled with his own ability to endure some of the toughest terrain in Britain, he met with the healing power of the land and its communities. This is a moving book, a powerful reflection not simply of this extraordinary place and its people met along the way, but of imaginative hope for humankind.

Download or read book Warden s Hunt Club written by Anthony Petreikis and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2021-02 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When hunting wild game, you're often restricted to the number of animals you can "take". When a game warden is hunting "poachers", there is no limit to the number of them which one can catch! And so, the creation of the sub-title, "Huntin' Poachers - No Limits". In Sgt. Tony Petreikis' 26 years of being an Illinois Game Warden, he constantly challenged himself to find another "Bad Guy". Often times, it meant lying in the mud, walking miles through the timber or working in the most inclement weather that Illinois could muster. No matter how hard it got, Tony pushed himself to complete the next case. Please join Tony for a look into the unique trials and tribulations of an Illinois Game Warden's career. Hopefully, you will laugh ...and possibly even cry as he takes you through his career of work! Having worked from the Chicago suburbs to the remote banks of the Mississippi River, Tony experienced much more than just conservation work. Not only will you get stories about hunting and fishing, but you will also see stories related to bombs, the use of a psychic, the mafia, drugs, commercial businesses and "The Blue Thing". You will also get a look into "A Warden's Reality". This chapter will enlighten you on some of the "horrible" parts of the job. If you complete the book, you will know Tony and what it took to do almost every aspect (good or bad) of being an Illinois Game Warden!
