Hunting: You've Got to Be Kidding! is a wonderful true story about a man with a dream. Written by Kevin A.

The book takes you through a chronological order of years as the author hunts all the big game species that call North America home. You will be entertained as the book's focus dwells not on the hunting, but on the mental processes associated with hunting trophy big game animals. Best of all are the many humorous "you've got to be kidding" moments!

Wayne Carlton of Montrose, Colorado, has been hunting and guiding for elk for more than three decades.

Summers in the Bayview housing development were a remarkable time to be a kid. Hell, it was a fantastic time to be most anyone. I didn’t realize it then, but there was just nothing better.
