The Culture of Hunting in Canada

The Culture of Hunting in Canada Review

See more picture

This book is about hunting and hunters -- a fundamental but understudied aspect of Canadian history, culture, and society. The Culture of Hunting in Canada presents a wide range of essays by practitioners as well as scholars of hunting, and from lobbyists both for and against hunters.

The essays collected here highlight important events and issues -- both historic and contemporary -- regarding the culture and practice of hunting. Topics addressed include hunting identities; conservation and its relationship to hunting; tensions between hunters and non-hunters and between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal hunting groups; debates over hunting practices and regulations; animal rights; and gun control. Discussion of these topics includes consideration of their social, political, and economic contexts as well as class and racial tensions between sport hunters and subsistence hunters. It covers events from the early colonial period until the present day and from all parts of Canada.

The Culture of Hunting in Canada makes an unprecedented contribution to the study of hunting in Canada and its role in our culture. It will appeal to sociologists, anthropologists, and historians of hunting culture; wildlife biologists, natural resource managers, and environmentalists; and, not least, hunters and anyone interested in the culture of hunting.

There is nothing so funny as what happens to us every day. Enter the world of outdoorsman extraordinaire Bob Hill, as he unveils his magical humor in a variety of outdoor adventures. You will help him fight hunger and drowsiness as he pursues Chinook salmon on Oregon's beautiful Columbia River with his wife just "reeling and squealing"; endure his camping nightmares in "The Camper from "; observe the outdoorsman's battle between the sexes in "Too Late To Hunt, Too Cold To Fish"; contemplate what makes a man a man in "Blurring the Line of Distinction Between the Sexes"; learn how to catch crappie from a real expert in "Them Minners Are a Might Big"; and even share some heart-warming moments in "Learning New Tricks from an Old Dog". "The Magic of Opening Day" should be required reading for hunters and non-hunters alike. "Just Because I Won't Shoot a Turkey Doesn't Mean I Have Something Against Them" will have you rolling on the floor!

"You just can't make up stuff this funny", Bob says, after battling a fox squirrel that fell in love with his blaze orange cap. This book is a must read for everyone who loves the outdoors and loves to laugh.
