Written by a novice hunter, this book describes the pursuit of adventure that hunting provided, for the first 70 years of his life. It begins by describing how the hunting bug bit. It continues through the experiences the author enjoyed from hunting with a Red Ryder BB gun on the family Kansas farm through hunting big game in various states in the US, many provinces in Canada, three countries in Africa and in New Zealand. The author graduated from the BB gun and progressed through many of the rifles and shotgun bores up to and including the 458 Lott in the hunts described in this book.
