4.0
A collection of essays united by the author's abiding joy of hunting and fishing the Great Plains. He delights in wild fowl and fish, smart gun dogs, reliable shotguns and rods, friends who laugh easily, and oatmeal cookies with coffee on early-morning dove openers. Spanning the 40 years these essays were published in a Kansas newspaper, we get to see the ebb and flow of game species and fish, droughts and abundant years, and changing landscape through the author's careful eyes. Interwoven in all of these essays are explanations of the ecology and conservation of species and their habitats, with hunters, fishers, and farmers playing an active role. Anyone who values natural spaces and their roles in those places will enjoy this book.
