The sporting memoirs of one of the most amusing raconteurs in the field today. With the majority of his story set in Nashville, Tennessee with the Hillsboro Hounds, Hooker takes readers on a raucous sporting jaunt-foxhunting, fishing and shooting-from the dark hills and hollows of night hunters to the exclusive quail shooting plantations of South Georgia. He has followed his sporting whims from Alaska to Africa. Hooker tells the stories of the seminal figures of foxhunting with humor and reverence.
