The Temple Tiger and More Man-Eaters of Kumaon (Oxford India Paperbacks)

The Temple Tiger and More Man-Eaters of Kumaon (Oxford India Paperbacks) Review

See more picture

The last of Colonel Jim Corbett's books on his unique and enthralling hunting experiences in India, this volume concludes the narrative of his adventures with tigers begun in the famous Man-Eaters of Kumaon. These stories maintain, perhaps even supercede, the high standard of the earlier classic collection. Corbett saves his best story of all for the long concluding chapter in this volume, describing, in The Talla Des Man-Eater, how he embarked on what he feared might be a fatal last test of skill and endurance. As always, he writes with an acute awareness of all jungle sights and sounds, choosing words charged with a great love of humanity, birds, and animals. His calm and straightforward modesty heightens the excitement and suspense of these experiences, in which he continuously risks his life to free the Indian tarai of dangerous man-eaters.

The Ultimate Guide to Calling and Decoying Waterfowl: Tips and Tactics for Hunting Ducks and Geese

The Ultimate Guide to Calling and Decoying Waterfowl: Tips and Tactics for Hunting Ducks and Geese Review

See more picture

The sport of hunting ducks and geese is alive and quite well in North America, thanks in large part to a resurgence of waterfowl numbers, which, in turn, can be traced to conservation groups such as Ducks Unlimited and Delta Waterfowl, Inc., as well as to sportsmen who impose limits on themselves far stricter than those issued by the law.

Assembling the gear, fixing the decoys, working with the Labs and Chesapeakes, caring for the firearms, fixing the blinds or duck boats, and always looking for more hotspots to hunt, waterfowlers are a breed unto themselves.

In these pages, read how to become adept at all aspects of duck and goose hunting-how to set the decoys in various conditions, how to call for the various species at different times of the year, how to get out there on the marsh or grain field and collect birds.

Hunting & Fishing Cartoons - Classics

Hunting & Fishing Cartoons - Classics Review

See more picture

Once in a lifetime an artist rises above the rest to be regarded as the best in his profession. "One of the All-Time Greats." "A Living Classic." Although he won't admit it, such is the case with cartoonist R. Stubler. Since his early youth he honed his outdoor skills in the hills and streams of Pennsylvania. As he grew to know and love the outdoors he developed a keen eye and appreciation of its wonderful beauty and magnificent animal life. And then he turned it upside down. Armed with pen, paper and a wit as keen as his outdoors knowledge, Stubler's cartoons began to present this world in a whole new light: where the deer, and bear and turkey constantly outwit the hunter, the fish out angle the angler and Mother Nature herself seems to get in on the joke. Drawn with his trademark, crisp linear style, there is never any need to scratch your chin and think twice to get the laugh. It is right up front (or maybe in the background), and whether you are an everyday outdoorsman or have ever spent even the briefest time hunting or fishing, you might see yourself in some of these situations. As his son, I have been blessed to not only spend time in the woods and waters with him, but also in the studio, where I have seen a cartoon grow from just a quick "thumbnail sketch" to a bonafide "Classic." R. Stubler has been making people laugh for 50 years, and his new cartoons are as fresh and funny as ever. "I don't know where they come from, but they keep coming," he muses. And that is a wonderful thing for all of us. So, if you are one of the millions of longtime R. Stubler fans, or new to his work, you are going to love this collection of classics. You will treasure it for yourself and want to get copies for your friends and loved ones. Every cartoon in this book is a classic; every laugh an original. Sit back, relax and laugh yourself silly.
