Game Days; A Tribute to North American Big Game Hunting - Chris Dorsey - Hardcover

Game Days is a word and picture tribute to the sport of North American big game hunting. Quotes, stories and excerpts from the world's finest hunting writers and evocative, full-page color photographs imbue the reader of Game Days with an armchair perception of the thrills, dangers, hardships, humor, remorse and indefatigable spirit of the hunter in pursuit of game.-- Game Days, too, is a vivid, pictorial celebration of the big game animals -- elk, moose, deer, bear, mountain sheep and other quarry that inhabit wild places men visit in this peculiar contest. This beautiful book also tells a story of the contest, not that of man against animal, but of man against himself, his own psychological fears and physical weaknesses, his awe of rugged wilderness, his veneration of the animals he hunts ... his sometimes personally unfathomable reasons that sanction his killing.-- Game Days will take you to wind-whipped mountain ridges, to arctic ice packs, to barren ground tundra and the forests, deserts and plains of North America. But most of all, it will take you into the heart and mind of the big game hunter."... combines exquisite photography and wonderful prose ..". -- Outdoor LifeDorsey, Chris is the author of 'Game Days; A Tribute to North American Big Game Hunting - Chris Dorsey - Hardcover' with ISBN 9781572230132 and ISBN 1572230134.
