From brown bear and Dall's sheep in Alaska, to elephant and Cape buffalo in Africa, Dwight Van Brunt has hunted much of the world’s great game. In Born a Hunter, his first book, he takes the reader along on more than thirty exciting trips afield. Honest, humorous and edgy, Van Brunt writes in a fashion that goes beyond the too-common where-to-go and how-to-do-it that is so common in outdoor writing. Join him on an exciting chase after a cattle-killing leopard and a grueling hunt for a grand desert bighorn. Share his adventures for Stone's sheep in the Yukon, desert mule deer in Sonora, and both sable and kudu in Namibia. Look over his shoulder as he hunts bighorn sheep, moose, elk, and deer alone and with his son and daughter. With field photography, and superb illustrations by Jocelyn Russell, Van Brunt has spent a lifetime pondering why he is so drawn to the hunt. His book is a must-read for anyone who shares his passion.

Born a Hunter,

This review is from: Born a Hunter: Hunting Adventures from the Arctic to Africa (Hardcover)
I am so lucky to have cut across the literary tracks of Dwight Van Burnt on his first book. The vivid descriptions of his world class large animal hunts creates an almost virtual reality of being there with him during the weather conditions and stalks.I was rivetted to say the least and felt the need to cinch up my boots and have my rifle by my side. I never really considered hunting Alaska and Africa before but now I am beginning to plan these hunts so I too can experience first hand the thrilling moments he describes so well. Can't wait to read his next publication. Boddington and others have nothing on this gifted author.

I purchased this book for my husband for Christmas and he couldn't put it down. Not only was it a great hunting book but it also included wonderful stories about the author growning up and included stories of his family. Well worth the money. Thanks!

literary genius,
This review is from: Born a Hunter: Hunting Adventures from the Arctic to Africa (Hardcover)
This book is a compelling account of the fulfillment of a man's dreams across his lifespan and three continents. Born a hunter takes you to hunting camp in a way no other book will.
