No matter how sophisticated we think we are, no matter how technologically advanced we become, there is still something deep within us that beckons us to the hunt. This volume includes serious, introspective articles on hunting and fishing, as well as humorous tall tales about the big ones that got away - all lore that reminds us of that drive that calls us to become predators again.

No matter how sophisticated or technologically advanced we become, there is still something within that beckons us to "the hunt." This desire creates the customs, beliefs, and rituals related to hunting--for deer, hogs, as well as fish and snakes, etc. These rituals and customs lead to some of our most treasured folklore.
