The ultimate gift book for the hunter—800 pages of adventure

This volume has something for everyone who hunts, be they rabbit hunters in the deep South, Cape buffalo hunters in the African bush, or white-tailed deer hunters in the woods of North America. Its selections celebrate hunting for big game, small game, waterfowl, upland birds, turkeys, African and Asian game, and much more.
