Customer Reviews

Focuses on the experience and virtues of hunting

Hunting's Best Short Stories will appeal to two audiences: those interested in hunting and those who want to read haunting short stories on the topic. Over twenty stories focus on the experience and virtues of hunting, from Wallace Stegner's account of his hunt for a teal to Hemingway's best. The works are literary celebrations of the hunter and his prey.

Not for the hook and bullet crowd

If you like stories where the hunter always comes out on top, is always the hero at the end posing all smiles with an conquering smile, this book is not for you. So much of what passes as hunting literature is pure, self-serving pap...of which you'll find none here.
