With spirited humor, thought-provoking anecdotes, and witty connections to real life, Jason Patterson weaves the story of his love for the hunt together, from its humble beginnings near his grandfather's home to early morning ventures, longing for more than just a fin or feather, but a deeper purpose for life.

Deer hunting may be easy to watch for most of the people who are fond of observing the intricacies of the activity. However, this is actually really complicated because of the prolonged preparation and precise execution of techniques that you eventually need to master in the long run.

Year of the Pig is a personal account of one avid hunter's pursuit of wild pigs in eleven American states. Mark Hainds tied his mission to the Chinese calendar's Year of the Pig in 2007 and journeyed through longleaf forests, cypress swamps, and wiliwili forests in search of his prey. Appealing to hunters and adventure readers for its sheer entertainment, Year of the Pig will also be valuable to farmers, land managers, and environmentalists for its broad information and perspective on the topic.

Whether he's chasing sailfish in Panama or hunting dove and quail deep in Mexico, Gordon England pursues outdoor sports with a passion for the biggest and best. In this collection he catches huge dolphin in the Exumas, races motocross through woods both on and off the trails, hunts ducks in brutal Texas snow and ice, hooks hopelessly large blue marlin in Nassau, and gets lost at sea in a monstrous Gulf of Mexico storm.

This memorable book by one of our finest writers chronicles two passions: one for a dog named "Blue," another for the "guns of a lifetime." "Blue and Some Other Dogs" is a brilliant memoir about Graves' Basque-Australian sheep dog. "Guns of a Lifetime" tells the stories related to the guns this octogenarian Texan has owned, beginning with a "rusted and cylinderless" revolver.

In his brilliant non-fiction, David Adams Richards - first and foremost one of Canada's greatest and best-beloved novelists - has been writing a kind of memoir by other means. Like his previous titles Lines on Water, about his pursuit of angling, and Hockey Dreams, about the game his disabled body prevented him from playing, Facing the Hunter explores the meaning of a sport and the way in which it touches lives, not least that of the author.

"Nu havde vi hørt far synge om kragen og den hæslige jæger. Straks stormede vi ud i haven, og Peter, som var ældst, gik i gang som instruktør. Da vi var fire, som alle gerne ville agere, bestemte han, at der skulle være tre jægere med ham som anfører, og som den mindste skulle jeg være kragen, der blev skudt." I erindringsværket "Så kom en hæslig jæger" mindes forfatteren Niels Fenger sit liv som jæger helt tilbage fra dengang, han og hans brødre legede, at de gik på jagt, og Niels Fenger selv måtte spille bytte.

"Jeg havde den lykke at vokse op på et sted, hvor der var højt til himlen og langt til horisonten, i et blæsende, nordjysk klima. Der var udsigt og adgang til Limfjordens holme, blinkende laguner og piskende rørskove, til øde, kuplede hededrag med sletter, spredte småplantager, moser og enge. - Her var ingen brug for fantasi. Alt var levende, håndgribelig skønhed, reserveret den, der instinktmæssigt forstod at tip-tå sig frem, smelte sammen med omgivelserne og bruge sine øjne og ører i sikker bevidsthed om, at man selv var iagttaget af vildtet."

Wandern ist out, Geocaching ist in! Geocaching ist die moderne Schnitzeljagd: Ausgerüstet mit dem GPS-Gerät werden querfeldein die verschlüsselten Koordinaten geknackt, um den Cache zu heben.

The phrase "the buck stops here" was coined by President Harry Truman, and the "buck" in question refers to a marker passed from one person to the next in a poker game, indicating who would deal.

You'll feel right at home listening to The Buck Stops Here, a timeless collection of tips, quips, and reflections about hunting, fishing, and the great outdoors.

The quickest, easiest (if there is an easy way), and safest way to find and take that bull elk of a lifetime will be to hunt with a guide. Chad Schearer, a longtime Montana guide and TV personality, told me, “My hunter is my gun. If I get to the elk, and my hunter isn’t with me, then we don’t take the elk. My job is not only to find the elk but also to help the hunter get to the elk and make the experience as enjoyable as I can for him.” That’s the kind of fella with whom I want to go elk hunting.
