Epilogue: Places
Craig Boddington, PETERSEN’S HUNTING –
“John Barsness is a truly talented writer. The Life Of The Hunt is a ‘must read’ for any serious hunter.”–Craig Boddington, PETERSEN’S HUNTING
David Petal/Field & Stream –
John Barsness is that rarest of beings__a truly skilled outdoorsman who can really write and a native Montanan (which makes him as rare as a giant panda). He has done a whale of a lot of hunting from Africa to the Arctic, and this book, in 18 chapters, chronicles his adventures and misadventure. Johnny B is entertaining company either in person or in book form.
Dwayne Mehrer –
If I were to pick my “favorite” hunting book from a fairly extensive library, either this or “Born to Hunt” would be the front runners.
John’s writing is such that it takes me there along with him, to experience both places I have hunted and places I have not.
It’s absolutely a must in any library of hunting stories.
