Although we may all be hunters some were really immersed in it because it was there line of work and therefore experienced hunts,places,and other things related etc... that possibly very few people might have.Also,back then I believe people were more likely to be drawn away from nature and hunting because it was more abundant.

I started reading the book and I am on page 35.So far I like it.It must have been something to hunt mule deer and javelina back then in that area!

Thanks, Shootaway.

When I was living those adventures I never could have dreamed someone more than six decades into the future would say, "it must have been something to hunt mule deer and javelina back then."

Hope you continue to enjoy the book.

I am at page 200+.I really enjoyed reading it so far.I really liked the Yukon moose hunt.You have a way of making the reader feel like they are there on the hunt.I think that might be because you describe the scene well.The Mexican diplomat visit part was good.The cat hunts.The texas whitetails on the large ranch.The best was your early hunts for muledeer in the canyons.The one shot pronghorn competitions with the invites.The horse wiping out and the other that was scared of bears.The caribou hunt where your drunk guide drowns.The bison hunt and more...
