Synopsis

Hunting Adventures,From Father to Son is about the author's lifetime enjoyment of hunting andhis growth and maturity as a hunter.The chronological format used, beginning with Kimber's firstduck hunt as a twelve year old and ending with a mule deer bowhunt in his latefifties, will appeal to hunters of all ages.Underlying his stories is a long-term evolutionary change inattitude and outlook about hunting, from a youthful emphasis on bag limits andkill counts to a broader appreciation of the total experience, where harvestinggame becomes a bonus and not thesole measure of one's hunting satisfaction or success.Kimber Shoop's hunting adventures and memories are notdissimilar to those treasured by thousands of others who venture forth with bowor gun. ?Companions and places maydiffer, but the sights, smells, and sounds are the same for all!It is the author's hope that his tales will not onlyentertain, but serve as a learning tool to help eliminate mistakes and promotegreater success in the field, marsh, or woods, regardless of age, from fatherto son!
