This review is from: Inherit the Hunt: A Journey into the Heart of American Hunting (Hardcover)

This is a great book about the history of hunting in general, and the uniqueness of our freedom in America. It explains the opportunities we, as commoners, have to hunt and how sportsmen of this country have contributed to protect, nourish, and improve the wildlife of our Nation. This is a book all people who enjoy America's wildlife should read and pass along to others to make sure our heritage is understood and our rights to enjoy the fair chase are protected for future generations.

This review is from: Inherit the Hunt (Paperback)

This book is a must read for all who covet and appreciate the privilege to hunt. I recommend it as an excellent short read, as well as a gift to others who may share the same excitement and passion for the outdoors. Presented from a historical perspective, the book describes how the privilege for all to hunt the land was a part of America's foundation. Was not the case in Europe. Discusses the evolution of the hunter/conservationist as well. Short book, 1-2 hour read. Enjoy.
