The Life of the Hunt

John Barsness, author of Western Skies and Montana Time, shares his adventures pursuing big game around the world, from Montana to Alaska, Africa to the Czech Republic. For John, the hunt is much more than the trophy. Sometimes funny, and always engaging, he shares with us the entire experience of the hunt, from meditations on the concept of "sport" itself to the adrenaline rush of the shot. In The Life of the Hunt, an appreciation for wild things meets the thrill of the chase head-on and blends into a harmonious philosophy. Hunting connects us to the patterns that govern our lives: life and death, past and future. Barsness says it best, "I cannot imagine an existence without a taste of the life of the game". This is John's best book yet.
