The colorful lore, the fine weapons, the wild game, the great hunting grounds from Alaska and Quebec in North America to the forests of Europe and the grasslands of Africa! It's all here in this beautifully illustrated volume that evokes the ancient and aristocratic sport of hunting. Full-color photos show classic carbines and shotguns, as well as antique flintlocks, matchlocks, powder horns, and the glittering brass hunting horns that sound the hunter's call. Here too are action shots of hunters stalking their prey in the wild, absorbing hunting stories, and fascinating reproductions of old-time hunting prints, some of them dating from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The Perfect Life of Hunters is a book for leisure reading, as well as a great addition to the outdoorsman's bookshelf. Wonderful full-color photos and handsome illustrations on nearly every page.
