From the author of They Shoot Canoes, Don’t They? and other celebrations of life in the wild, a collection of wry, tongue-in-cheek tales of life in the great outdoors captures the whimsical trials and tribulations of hunting, fishing, and camping.

Read this book as a kid. Even found myself living some of the stories and had to read again!
