Guess what -- Gary Paulsen was being kind to Brian. In Guts, Gary tells the real stories behind the Brian books, the stories of the adventures that inspired him to write Brian Robeson's story: working as an emergency volunteer; the death that inspired the pilot's death in Hatchet; plane crashes he has seen and near-misses of his own. He describes how he made his own bows and arrows, and takes readers on his first hunting trips, showing the wonder and solace of nature along with his hilarious mishaps and mistakes. He shares special memories, such as the night he attracted every mosquito in the county, or how he met the moose with a sense of humor, and the moose who made it personal. There's a handy chapter on "Eating Eyeballs and Guts or Starving: The Fine Art of Wilderness Nutrition." Recipes included. Readers may wonder how Gary Paulsen survived to write all of his books -- well, it took guts.
In "Wildlife Wars," Terry Grosz serves up fascinating stories-alternately hair-raising, hilarious, and heart-wrenching-from his 30-year struggle to protect wildlife in America. A natural storyteller, Grosz writes about the remarkable characters he met-on both sides of the law-as he matched wits with elk poachers, salmon snaggers, commercial-market duck hunters, and a host of other law-breakers. Best of all, though, these stories are so remarkably entertaining you won't want to put them down. Wildlife Wars is the winner of the 2000 National Outdoor Book Award, Nature and the Environment Category.

Archie’s Hunting Tales and Adventures By: Archie J. Sybrandt You will enjoy Archie’s Hunting Tales & Adventures covering his seventy years of intriguing and humorous exploits. The book is his journal and contains the memories he would like to share with you. Starting in the late 1940’s in Rush City, a small, rural Minnesota town, he takes you across the northern part of the United States into Canada and Alaska, ending on the east coast an old man living in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania. Archie’s stories reflect back on a simpler time when you could put a sandwich in your pocket along with a few shells, a knife on your belt, pick up your rifle, and go hunting. He feels there is so much hype and information on hunting today if you try to understand it; you will just drive yourself nuts, so work with what you know. Wisdom he once received in a fortune cookie: “Experience is the best teacher; the truth is, it is the only teacher.”
