If you like
hunting or fishing, you'll love this fact filled

Alaska Now, has compiled another gem. From his
earliest days hunting in 1953 as a twelve year old

outdoor activities and they are something to
behold. This is a Must Have book where Dennis
weaves his tales, chronicling adventures and
providing good information and advice on numerous
topics for all outdoors folks.
Confer relates early adventures; hunting bears,
caribou, whitetail and mule deer, moose muskox,
sheep and goats in North America; fishing for
halibut, salmon marlin and dorado; and traveling
throughout the world the wisdom of a man who's done
it all on land and sea.
Dennis' step by step information walks the reader
through various processes from how to fish specific
species, how to properly net and gaff fish, and how
to dress moose in the water. He even offers input
in getting the wife to say "Honey, don't you think
it's time for you to go hunting (or fishing)
again?"
Good advice includes years-tested strategy for bear
avoidance, dealing with belligerent bull moose; how
to effectively confront difficult situations,
wisdom in hunting sheep and goats, the need for
thorough preparation for ultimate success and
enjoying amenities in camp as well as combining
collecting both big game and small game and fish on
the same hunt.
You'll marvel at the various tastes of game animals
including African ones, muskox, mountain goat and
the ugliest looking fish in the world, Dennis'
theory on animal telepathy in which they intercept
or know hunters thoughts afield, the Super Cub's
and Otter's short take off ability in windy
conditions, camp camaraderie among friends and

Dennis' evolution from hunting through the military
years and life in Alaska;
This is the kind of book you revisit from time to
time, using it as a valuable resource to the
outdoors.
