Download or read book Classic Hunting Tales written by Vin T. Sparano and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-11-24 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No matter when and where it’s done, the love—and dangers—of hunting will always remain. For more than forty million Americans who hunt, here is the ideal companion. Vincent T. Sparano, a lifelong devotee of hunting stories—and himself a hunter—presents these timeless tales, each a thrilling account of man and beast. Twenty-five stories reveal the adventure, the spirit, the fear, and the danger involved in hunting—from the truly terrifying “The Croc That Wouldn’t Die” to the nearly unbelievable “Nightmare Hunt,” in which a hunter is mauled by bears, and survives. There are tales of tigers and rams, of deer and cougars. There is the classic story of a moose hunt in the wilds of Alaska in 1897. But another side to hunting is also here—the camaraderie, the friendship, and the responsibility of one hunter for another. Throughout the book runs a constant theme: the loyalty of men sharing a common goal. And within that framework is another loyalty of the hunter and his dog. No collection of hunting stories would be complete without a selection that skillfully and touchingly portrays the feelings between human and animal. And no story reveals it with more dignity than “Nat’s Dog.” A full collection covering the range of stories and experiences of hunters, Classic Hunting Tales gives keen insight to the outdoors and all who dwell there. Skyhorse Publishing is proud to publish a broad range of books for hunters and firearms enthusiasts. We publish books about shotguns, rifles, handguns, target shooting, gun collecting, self-defense, archery, ammunition, knives, gunsmithing, gun repair, and wilderness survival.

Download or read book Hits and Misses written by Jim Woods and published by Gypsy Shadow Publishing. This book was released on 2019-10-05 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These accounts of shooting birds and hunting big game mostly relate the author’s adventures in North America--Canada and The United States. Game species encountered, or hoped to encounter, include mule deer, whitetail deer, blacktail deer, pronghorn antelope, elk, bear, turkey and geese. But by convenience, and necessity because all his hunts don’t fit neatly into the confines of North America, and the author had no other place to tell a couple of unique hunt stories, this volume also includes reports of dove hunting in Honduras and red stag in Spain. Mainly, this collection tells the story of one hunter who just happened to be a writer and whose job sometimes required him to go hunting, making him, if not a PH (professional hunter) then perhaps a PTPH (part-time) or a SPH (semi). Either way, for him it was a dream job.

Download or read book A Life Outdoors written by Robert D. Sopuck and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2014-11-03 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 21st Century is a time of profound and wrenching change. The phrase “stop the world, I want to get off” never seemed more appropriate. Robert Sopuck caught his first fish at age 4 in the presence of his father. That fish set off a lifetime of exploration of the natural world. He and his bride, the inestimable Caroline, live on 480 acres of wild land south of Manitoba’s Riding Mountain National Park. This book is about their way of life as modern country people who have developed a profound relationship with the land, wildlife, and the ecosystem that supports them. This book describes a way of living with Nature via detailed, funny, informative, and sometimes poignant essays. The first essay, “It All Started with This Fish,” describes the beginning of this journey while the second last, “Hunting with Dad” describes his emotions while speaking at his father’s funeral about their shared outdoor experiences that made him who he is. In between there are hunting stories, “how to” essays on wild food preparation, and descriptions of unique wildlife experiences. “A Life Outdoors” will show the reader that there is a way of life “out there” that is authentic, joyous, and profound.
Download or read book Great Hunting Adventures written by Henry Prante and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over 30 years now I have hunted in B.C. on countless trips through some of the finest hunting country the western world has to offer. I travelled by car, 4x4 truck, trail bike, horse, canoe or river boat, by aircraft and even freight train to reach my hunting ranges. I have climbed from sea level to the summits of sky-scraping mountains and have hunted every species of game this province has to offer. It was tough going at times, hair-raising, even dangerous but it was all highly dramatic and beautiful. To find game was, of course, always the excuse to get away into the wilderness. To kill game was, of lesser importance unless I needed venison for the family. Perhaps I should confess that my hunting philosophy is really that of a livestock farmer who cares for his animals and culls his herd only to make a living or to protect the range and propagate only the best of his stock. Thus I have never been a trophy hunter. But I have, on occasion, killed trophy-sized game. My greatest reward of the hunt was always the unforgettable adventure of living on raw land, in harmony with nature or against all odds. Who would not enjoy the view from the top of the Yalakom Mountains, or the Ashnola region's glistening lakes where one can bump into a California bighorn ram, a mountain goat or mule deer among brilliant autumn colors reflected in mirror-shiny waters? Who would not enjoy living, if only for a brief span, in the swamp and water world of the Atlin region where the largest of our moose roam, where mountain caribou and stone sheep often stand etched against an azure sky in unbelievably sharp detail? And who would not enjoy a trip along the turning and twisting Coquihalla River as it winds its tortuous course through deep canyons gleaming like molten silver in the light of a harvest moon? Who would not love to ride a sure-footed saddle horse and feel at one with nature? These are unforgettable experiences for me, bound together by the companionship of good partners. Indeed, when others stop along our crowded highways to stare at nature, it is the hunter who truly lives the experience as he sits near a game trail and waits for his quarry. He sees the life and death experience in true perspective. He might observe a grizzly grazing in a meadow or digging for marmots or hear the bugle of a rutting bull elk; the dry cough of a bull moose. He goes to sleep with the chorus of timber wolves singing him a lullaby, yet he also knows that the song probably means death for some creature unlucky enough to cross the wolves.

Download or read book Hunting Adventures written by Greig Caigou and published by HarperCollins Australia. This book was released on 2010-01-31 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do so many people love hunting?Is it blood lust?The thrill of the chase?Or is there something more to it? Hunting Adventures is Greig Caigou's very readable and vicariously enjoyable collection of one man's back-country adventures in the New Zealand bush and high country. From the age of fifteen, Greig began hunting, following family tradition into a sport he's continued enjoy for over thirty years. He began writing about it in 1981, contributing to several well known hunting anthologies.As well as being a thoroughly good read, his book also seeks to encourage another generation to challenge themselves against their environment, and enjoy the personal challenges hunting has to offer.With tips for young hunters and some fascinating thoughts on why we need to have adventures, the book is an unexpected treat. Many recent books in this genre have concentrated on memoirs from an era of 'hard men' and high populations of animals in a wild and emerging industry. Most modern hunters (over 7200 registered in the NZ Deerstalkers Association) don't actually relate to this era and prefer to read about people like themselves, where trophy moments are fewer and more highly valued for their rarity. In addition to these more memorable moments, Greig doesn't hesitate to include the mistakes, the miscalculations and the dumb things that can happen on a trip up country, making this a thoroughly accessible and enjoyable read for any real or would be hunter.
