Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hunting, what is it all about? Why do we hunt? Hunting could be the most misunderstood sport of our time. Modern society struggles with understanding why educated man enjoys the sport of hunting. Anti-Hunters question the need, necessity and legality for the continuation of the right to hunt when hunting for most of us, is no longer required for our basic survival? So why do we hunt? I grew up listening to stories of my Grandfather talking about his childhood days in Colorado with his father and brothers trapping, hunting and selling bear hides during the late 1920's. I remember my Grandmother's story, told with great joy of her best Buck taken in the 1940's with a 30/30 Winchester saddle gun that I still carry today. Her face would glow as she told the story of dropping the big trophy buck with a single shot as he headed up a steep cannon pass. I remember the story of the big Elk shot with my Grandfather's Lever Action 300 Savage that he left for me when he passed, the disaster Duck hunt and so many more that brought smiles to faces, laughter and joy to the room as these stories were told over and over again during my childhood. When I first started hunting, I was happy to harvest anything. A quail, squirrel, a young doe, any success was a joyous moment for me. As I grew older, more accomplished and experienced, I started Trophy hunting, looking for that one special animal that stood above the rest. My hunting success was measured by the size of the horn and the weight of the Ivory. As I filled the walls of my trophy room with beast from the World over, I traveled further and further from home, hunting in more remote regions of the world, spending time with indigenous people that were raised in vastly different environments with vastly different cultures and customs. When you strip away all the wants and glitter of modern society, and travel to an environment where basic needs of food, water and shelter are the first task of each day's chores, your outlook on life

Download or read book Meat Eater written by Steven Rinella and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012-09-04 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the #1 New York Times bestselling author and host of Netflix’s MeatEater comes “a unique and valuable alternate view of where our food comes from” (Anthony Bourdain). “Revelatory . . . With every chapter, you get a history lesson, a hunting lesson, a nature lesson, and a cooking lesson. . . . Meat Eater offers an overabundance to savor.”—The New York Times Book Review Meat Eater chronicles Steven Rinella’s lifelong relationship with nature and hunting through the lens of ten hunts, beginning when he was an aspiring mountain man at age ten and ending as a thirty-seven-year-old Brooklyn father who hunts in the remotest corners of North America. He tells of having a struggling career as a fur trapper just as fur prices were falling; of a dalliance with catch-and-release steelhead fishing; of canoeing in the Missouri Breaks in search of mule deer just as the Missouri River was freezing up one November; and of hunting the elusive Dall sheep in the glaciated mountains of Alaska. A thrilling storyteller, Rinella grapples with themes such as the role of the hunter in shaping America, the vanishing frontier, the ethics of killing, and the disappearance of the hunter himself as consumers lose their connection with the way their food finds its way to their tables. The result is a loving portrait of a way of life that is part of who we are—as humans and as Americans.

One can almost taste the camp grub he describes, whether prepared for or by him, smell the scents of the hunting camps and cabins and feel the bitter cold of the 1992 fall hunt or the Delta sheep hunt snowstorm. The descriptions of his many hunting experiences make the reader feel like they were there with him in the wild or on a flight to the next adventure. I can't wait for the sequel! Mike Fleagle, Former Chairman - Alaska Board of Game Pete Buist is undoubtedly the epitome of the outdoorsman in the truest meaning of the term. Trapper, hunter, master guide, firefighter are just some of his accomplishments; in a nutshell, a lifetime of adventure and excitement lived in the manner that makes me envious and at the same time filled with admiration. While guiding Pete in South Africa, it did cross my mind that I would have relished doing a hunt with our roles reversed and basking in the experience of a life well-lived. Pete Tumkulu "Buist has applied his knowledge, experience, and eloquence to add the title of Author to his other accomplishments and has produced a well-written, enjoyable read capable of transporting the reader to those wild places. John" Madala" Barnes Professional Hunter - South Africa The real "trophies" of a life spent outdoors are the stories. Indeed, storytelling is a foundational skill of the seasoned hunter, and Pete's "seasoning" reaches into a stratosphere most of us will never see. I became friends with Pete in 2008, and after only a couple of days of immersing myself in his storytelling prowess, I said, "Pete, you really need to write a book." And here it is. Pete's recall, precise detail, wit, and humor are extraordinary as he takes you along on countless adventures. These entertaining stories are definitely worth the price of admission.

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.

Book excerpt: "How does a Utah Mormon boy become a Licensed Master Guide with a yacht in Alaska and, eventually, an international hunter of world renown? Jimmie Rosenbruch, his wife MaryAnn, and their remarkable family are true pioneers and adventurers and have been fortunate to share in the last days of the true golden era of international hunting. With Divine Assistance is the story of Rosenbruch's amazing and adventurous life. Rosenbruch begins with tales of his life in the state of Alaska, where, in a daring move, he took his wife and young family and started a new life that would, in time, make him a true legend in Alaskan outfitting. His stories of their adventures as they learned the ins and outs of living in the Alaskan bush are exciting ones. With the support of his family and the bastion of his faith, Rosenbruch built his business into a remarkable success and was able to begin following his hunting dreams to the farthest corners of the globe, launching an international hunting career the likes of which few other hunters have ever equaled. The majority of the book covers his international hunting adventures, from his first African safari in Sudan in 1979 to argali hunting in Mongolia in the early 1980s to later adventures in Europe and the South Pacific. He hunted in Turkey at a time when few Westerners had been there, and caught the fall of the Iron Curtain and breakup of the Soviet Union, opening up new opportunities in new places. Many of the hunting destinations and opportunities Rosenbruch experienced have changed irrevocably from when he first experienced them, making this book a glimpse into an era that can truly be considered the Golden Age of Hunting. Rosenbruch's hunting experiences culminated in his being the only professional outfitter to ever win the coveted Weatherby Hunting and Conservation Award"--Amazon.com
