For most of the millions of Americans who go afield in pursuit of game in the 1990s, a hunt is about so much more than the act of hunting. It’s also about connecting to the land, bonding with your hunting companions, and respecting the spirit of the chase. The core of the hunt, the very reasons that people go afield, is the same today as it was in 1900. Tradition. And tradition is what this book is about. A striking collection of stories and artwork, this is a celebration of our hunting heritage that’s sure to evoke your own special hunting memories. "100 Years of Hunting" includes compelling stories about hunting game from the ever-popular whitetail to mule deer, elk, grizzly bear, bighorn sheep, grouse, ducks, pheasant, and more from the past 100 years. These engaging narratives are from such legends as Grover Cleveland, Zane Grey, Archibald Rutledge, Gordon MacQuarrie, Patrick F. McManus, Ernest Hemingway, and Robert Ruark. These hunting tales are paired with great artwork, including outstanding wildlife photography, hunting collectibles, sporting paintings, period ads, and historical images.

Strategies for Today's Small Game Generation Whether it's waiting out a fox squirrel in a northeastern Ohio hickory grove, calling from a midnight stand for red fox, or anticipating the whirlwind flush of a ruffled grouse, nothing challenges the hunter nor hones the skills quite like the pursuit of North America's small game species. In his latest book, Successful Small Game Hunting, M.D. Johnson helps rekindle the flame that sparked the desire to hunt. With new twists on age-old outdoor ideas and just enough nostalgia to remind you that small game hunting is "where it all began," Johnson revisits the species and the techniques that have helped make small game hunting the grand pastime that it is. Wonderfully illustrated with outstanding images by award-winning photographer, Julia Johnson, Successful Small Game Hunting follows in the footsteps of Johnson's other titles - Successful Duck Hunting and Successful Turkey Hunting - by putting you right into the middle of the action with some of the finest small game hunters and trappers in the nation. Recapture the thrill of your first hunt as M.D. Johnson and friends guide you through the woodlots and uplands, the marshes and the fields in search of small game.

With a firm desire to pass on our hunting heritage to his children, Tim Hovey began teaching his daughters, Alyssa and Jessica how to target shoot in 2007. Along the way he taught them the importance of resource management, hunter ethics and to respect all forms of wildlife. As his daughters' skills developed, they expressed a desire to hunt with their dad. Putting all they've learned to use, they began bringing home wild game of their own. As their family shooting tradition continued, they built memories that will last a lifetime and developed an understanding of the importance of our hunting heritage. As a biologist, Tim writes with a knowledge of resource management, regulation science and the personal and resource benefits of hunting. The text describes safety gear, starter rifles for kids, transitioning to larger calibers, muzzle management, hunter ethics, dealing with frustration, safety courses and much more. The reader will follow the journey of Alyssa and Jessica as they go from toddlers to hunters. Raised Behind the Trigger documents one father's journey as he guides his daughters down the hunter's path. Somewhere along the way, Alyssa and Jessica transformed from curious little girls into strong, compassionate young women that shoot straight and understand the value of a hunter's role.
