This is fantastic for a lover of travel and the outdoors. Laughed my head off!

This was a fun read. There were several times I laughed out loud. I am not especially knowledgeable about fishing or hunting, but this was written in an easy to follow along way.

Full disclosure: I’ve never hunt, fished or read a magazine dealing with either. I actually picked this book because I do love the outdoors and camping and I was so glad I did.

Bill Heavey reminds me of a sports version of W. Bruce Cameron or Dave Barry. This book was similar in a lot of ways to a recent one of Cameron’s I read only this is ALL about fishing and hunting.

As someone with no background in the sports I still had no trouble loving the book. I’m sure those who actually know what he’s talking about when it comes to tackle, bows, guns and deer lures can appreciate it more but not having any familiarity with them didn’t stop me from thinking Heavey is a fantastic writer. I ended up waking my husband thanks to laughing so loud at his stories.

If you have an outdoor sports enthusiast this is a must buy for them as they will surely appreciate some of the antics Heavey gets himself into or emphasize with the pitfalls of spending days trying to hunt / fish only to end up with nothing but memories of a great journey in the attempt.

I adored this book and thanks to Heavey’s descriptive prose and talent for writing in a way the common person can understand people from all kinds of backgrounds and interests will find something to love and laugh about in this wonderful collection.
