Out Home

Long out of print, "Out Ho"me is the first published collection of naturalist and conservationist John Madson's essays. Written between 1961 and 1977 for such venues as "Outdoor Life," "Sports Afield," "Audubon," and "Guns and Ammo," the twenty-one essays and one poem in this classic volume focus on game and nongame animals and the people who love them and their outdoor world. Madson writes of hunting and wildlife management, the tricks of whitetail and cottontail, the bewildering interactions of pheasants with their harsh winter world, the cliff-nesting geese of the Missouri River, biscuits and gravy and stories shared around campfires with friends and family, and the great seasonal migrations of geese and cranes.
