Summary: Not for the hook and bullet crowd
Review: 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.

Summary: Hunting's Most Depressing Short Stories
Review: The odd assortment of stories in this book mostly portray hunters as cowards, braggarts, and boors---all caught up in dysfunctional relationships with their parents, children, friends, neighbors, and spouses. There are few classics here and some quality stories by budding authors, but there are many other mediocre ones that seem to have been selected only because of the negative light they throw on hunters and hunting. If you love hunting, you will be disappointed with this anthology.
