This review is from: Varmint hunter's digest: The how-to book for varminters (Paperback)

This is the funniest and most useful guide to hunting I've ever read. It treats everything from hunting grasshoppers in the backyard with BB guns to shooting Mountain Lions with a 264 Winchester Magnum, and is written in witty, self-deprecating style that makes reading it an adventure. There are sections on calling, handloading, varmint hunting associations, competition, tracking, camoflaging one's gun, shotguns, handguns, and of course, the various varmint rifle cartridges. It's a shame this book is out of print because it truly conveys the excitement and fascination of hunting, and no doubt could help draw more people into the sport, were it more widely available.
