This is the book for hunters. It is for men who are aware that the game they seek exists in an environment of many dimensions. And who sense that success--and real satisfaction--as a hunter depend on an understanding of all these mingled elements of terrain, feed, cover, and the inter-relatedness of species.
And who will welcome an expert's guidance on how to enrich their own hunting experience by becoming a meaningful part of the hunting environment. With 300 pictures--193 of them in full color--by outstanding wildlife photographers

A Hunter's life, writes Charles Waterman, although dedicated in part to the killing of game, is inevitably involved in the whole world of nature.
The hunter's pleasures, excitement, and (to a large degree) his success are all influenced by his role as a naturalist, his awareness of his surroundings and of how the over-all pattern of wildlife affects his days in the field.
In this book the author follows hunting seasons from northern Alaska to southern Florida.
