Hunting stories are often beautifully written, but rarely offer practical advice. Meanwhile, cartridge guides are full of important information, but are about as fun to read as a printer’s instruction manual. This book, however, is different. Award-winning writer and Field Editor of this magazine, Richard Mann, has not herein provided us with yet another dry, technical book akin to a handloading manual. Rather, this book is filled with the stories and wisdom Mann has accrued during a lifetime of hunting and writing about the outdoors—with plenty of cartridge knowledge mixed in. Whether hunting for Appalachian tree squirrels or Cape buffalo…

Bob Christian was an eighteen year old bowhunter from Wisconsin. On the eve of the opening day of deer season in nineteen seventy seven, Bob drove from his home in Madison to his buddy’s house in Barriboo, or at least he was supposed to.

Editor’s Note: This is a re-post of a SurvivalBlog article from May, 2008.
