Unforgettable stories of big game, loyal friends, and the respect that nature commands—culled from more than one hundred years of Field & Stream.
If there’s one thing hunters and non-hunters alike can share, it’s the love of a good story. From the annals of the world’s leading outdoor magazine comes this collection of the Field & Stream editors’ favorite true-life tales: record harvests and sassy trail guides; bear drives and dicey bowhunts; fond (and surprising) memories of a first elk hunt; poachers in Africa; caribou on tribal lands; replicating moose mating calls; and the one that got away.
Field & Stream: The Best American Hunting Stories features entries by Bill Heavey, Rick Bass, Steve Rinella, Phil Caputo, and many others. With chapters entitled, “The Way of the Hunter,” “The Thrill of the Kill,” and “Off the Beaten Path,” there’s a story for every hunter, outdoorsman, and adventure enthusiast.
