Overview

"I don't regard nature as a spectator sport." -Ed Zern, 1985

Hunting is a serious business-but it's also about camaraderie, achievements and failures, seeing new places, and revisiting cherished ones. The true stories here feature a variety of game, in locations that range from high Yukon Territory mountain peaks to lowland swamps off of Mobile Bay, Alabama.

This is an indispensable volume for all lovers and students of the natural world. If your definition of home includes fields and marshes, creeks and river bottoms, plains and mountains, consider this required reading.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
These two anthologies follow close behind a similar pair from last summer, Paul D. Staudohar's Fishing's Best Short Stories (LJ 7/00) and Hunting's Best Short Stories (Chicago Review, 2000). Hyperbole aside, all four are packed with fine prose from notable authors both classic and contemporary. That overlap between the competing counterparts is minimal just goes to show that fields and streams have been wonderful muses to many generations of writers. These diverse selections of short fiction and essays are enhanced by Underwood's informative prefatory remarks giving literary or historical context or adding some amusing anecdotes or interesting trivia. Underwood is a former editor-in-chief of Sports Afield and Outdoor Life and knew many of the authors personally. Patrick O'Brien, Thomas McGuane, Ernest Hemingway, Robert Ruark, Ben East, Charles Eliot, John Barsness, and Ed Zern are represented by separate contributions in both books. Major angling writers such as A.J. McClane, John Gierach, and Nick Lyons are in the Fishing book, of course, but there are also laudable pieces by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, Le Anne Schreiber, and Zane Grey. The unanticipated outstanding authors in the Hunting volume include William Faulkner, Ivan Turgenev, and Theodore Roosevelt. The stories in both collections range from tender to raucous to knee-slapping hilarious. Highly recommended for all public libraries.--Will Hepfer, SUNY at Buffalo Libs.

    The greatest hunting stories ever told, by Lamar Underwood is about twenty-nine unforgettable hunting tales all over the country. This book consists of many different stories that are put together and are all about one topic: hunting. Each tale has its own setting, tone, and plot/ overall I really liked the book. It kept me interested by describing in details the unbelievable events that occurred with these hunters. If I had to choose one story as my favorite it would have to be " The Last Shell In The Rifle". This story is about a hunter, who is polar bear hunting and ends up in a life or death situation and has little time to decide what to do. I can't give away the best part so you'll have to read it your self and be the judge.

    Great Stories to Awaken your Hunting Urge

    Has a very good variety of Great stories told by very distinct personalities. Is heartwarming in some, amusing in others, and downright hillarious in even more. Brings back some of my own fond memories of Hunts gone wrong, and some that went right. A great book for entertainment and to rekindle the Hunting spirit in young and old alike.
