Description
For hunters, listening to the accounts of kindred spirits recalling the drama and action that go with good days afield ranks among life's most pleasurable activities. This newly updated volume - with an introduction by editor Stephen J. Bodio -- contains some of the best hunting tales ever written, stories that sweep from charging elephants in the African bush to mountain goats in the mountain crags of the Rockies, from the gallant bird dogs of the Southern pinelands to the great Western hunts of Theodore Roosevelt.
Stories include:
- The Wilderness Hunter by Theodore Roosevelt
- Tige's Lion by Zane Grey
- Lobo: The King of Currumpaw by Ernest Seton-Thompson
- My Antelope by Grace Gallatin Seton-Thompson
- The Alaskan Grizzly by Harold McCracken
- Wolf-Hunting in Russia by Henry T. Allen
- Hunting on the Turin Plain by Roy Chapman Andrews
