      About This Book

      This collection of humorous essays from an outdoor life columnist are "amusing even for those who'd never dream of lifting rod or rifle" (Kirkus Reviews).

      From the author of They Shoot Canoes, Don't They? and other celebrations of life in the wild, a collection of wry, tongue-in-cheek tales of life in the great outdoors captures the whimsical trials and tribulations of hunting, fishing, and camping.

      "Everybody should read Patrick McManus." ―The New York Times Book Review

      "A style that brings to mind Mark Twain, Art Buchwald, and Garrison Keillor." ―People

      "The funniest writer around today." ―Atlanta Journal-Constitution

      "McManus captures the innocence most of us lose when we become grown-up, and reading him you can't help recalling similar times and events in your own life." ―Booklist
