About this item

No matter when and where it's done, the love - and dangers - of hunting will always remain.For more than forty million Americans who hunt, here is the ideal companion. Vincent T. Sparano, a lifelong devotee of hunting stories - and himself a hunter - presents these timeless tales, each a thrilling account of man and beast.Twenty-five stories reveal the adventure, the spirit, the fear, and the danger involved in hunting - from the truly terrifying "The Croc That Wouldn't Die" to the nearly unbelievable "Nightmare Hunt," in which a hunter is mauled by bears, and survives. There are tales of tigers and rams, of deer and cougars. There is the classic story of a moose hunt in the wilds of Alaska in 1897.But another side to hunting is also here - the camaraderie, the friendship, and the responsibility of one hunter for another.
