Jagtens Eventyr i Danmark, der oprindeligt udkom i 1936, er en af jagtlitteraturens klassikere.I bogen beskriver forfatteren med lune og refleksion jagtens væsen med udgangspunkt i selvoplevede jagthistorier. Sammen med gode jagtkammerater, som blandt andet digterpræsten Kaj Munk, blev der drevet jagt rundt om i hele landet. Her er alt fra tøndejagt i Vestjylland over sneppejagt ved Randers Fjord til klapjagter på øerne.Valdemar Rørdam (1872-1946) var i sin samtid en bredt anerkendt forfatter, der blandt andet modtog Holbergmedaljen og var indstillet til Nobelprisen i litteratur.Valdemar Rørdam blev af mange anset som Holger Drachmanns efterfølger i den nationalromantiske genre.Men i 1941 skrev Rørdam et digt, der hyldede Nazitysklands invasion af Sovjetunionen. Dette betød, at Rørdam mistede sin popularitet og sit litterære eftermæle.
Carl Peter Govertz Jensen (1845-1921) nærede en stor kærlighed til jagten og naturen. Det kom til udtryk i hans tre bøger: På jagt (1883), Jagtstemninger (1893) og Jægere (1903). Han var en af de første til at udgive selvoplevede jagtberetninger i litterær form.Bogen her er et udvalg af de bedste jagthistorier fra de tre bøger. Læseren kommer med på stemningsfulde jagter rundt om i landet: Andejagt på Lolland. Sneppejagt i Søhøjlandet. Urfuglejagt på den jyske hede og store godsjagter.Govertz Jensen var godsejersøn og jurist af uddannelse. I nogle år drev han en proprietærgård ved Skanderborg. Senere flyttede han til Lolland og blev avisredaktør, inden han i 1891 satte sig i redaktørstolen ved Dansk Jagtidende – en post, som han bestred i 30 år.
Heinrich Emil Ferdinand Justesen (1845-1916) er en pioner i den danske jagtlitteratur. I 1881 udgav han bogen Jægerliv, som er den første danske bogudgivelse, der udelukkende består af selvoplevede jagthistorier. Genren blev folkeeje nogle år senere med Boganis’ jagtbreve.Denne bog indeholder et udvalg af jagtberetninger fra Justesens fem jagtbøger. Her kommer læseren blandt andet med Justesen og hans jagtkammerater på andejagt i de vestjyske fjorde, bekkasinjagt på Sjælland, fællesjagt på Sejerø og på klapjagt i de store skove. Her er masser af farverige beskrivelser af jagt og jægere fra en svunden tid.H.E.F Justesen var uddannet jurist og var blandt andet by- og herredsfuldmægtig i Holstebro og branddirektør på Falster. I 1884 var han med til at stifte Dansk Jagtforening og blev samtidig redaktør ved foreningens blad Dansk Jagttidende frem til 1891.

Dansk Jagtordbog er en samlet fortegnelse over det danske jagtsprog i ordbogsform.Jagten i Danmark har en rig kultur med masser af traditioner og skikke. Og ikke mindst har jægerne deres helt eget sprog. Et sprog, der er formet i en smeltedigel af ord og udtryk fra især tysk, engelsk og fransk, der er blevet blandet med ærkedanske udtryk. Der er masser af slang, lydbeskrivende ord, farverig jargon og dialektord i jagtsproget.Bogen vil være nyttig for læsere af gammel dansk jagtlitteratur, men også for jægere og sproginteresserede, der ønsker at dygtiggøre sig i den sproglige jagtkultur.
“Sort og Hvid Magi” kommer helt tæt på kafferbøfler, Afrikas mest farlige af de berømte fem store.Men bogen indeholder også unikke oplevelser med vandbøfler, bisonokser, moskusokser og vildkvæg, omtalt som Scrub Bulls.I bogen finder man f.eks. en beretning om en ældgammel og tonstung kæmpe og en helt ung bøffeljæger i sit første år som teenager. Et sammenstød, der kostede blod på begge sider ... Det er også beretningen om en ”tæt på død” oplevelse, der på dramatisk vis afsluttede en centralafrikansk bøffeljagt.Det er eventyr og drømme om sorte og hvide bøfler. For ikke alle bøfler fødes sorte eller mørke. Omkring en ud af ti millioner afrikanske bøfler kommer til verden som hvide. Det samme hævdes at være tilfældet hos nordamerikansk bison. Her betragtes det uhyre sjældne fænomen White Buffalo som varsel om bedre tider, men også som en påmindelse om vores samhørighed med naturen og det guddommelige.Undervejs i bogen præsenteres læseren for de vidt forskellige miljøer, hvor jagterne udspiller sig. Det er ikke kun jagt i sump og regnskov. Det er også bøffeljagt på afrikanske, australske og sydamerikanske sletter og på fjeldskråninger helt tæt på indlandsisen.Bogens mange artikler og tilhørende billeder er udvalgt blandt Michael Sands omfattende arkiv, og “Sort og Hvid Magi” er en jagtbog, som også berører flere etiske spørgsmål. Især begrebet jagt bliver vendt og drejet i en række dialoger.Artiklerne er skrevet og illustreret som reportager.De anvendte billeder knytter sig direkte til oplevelserne, og fortællingerne er gengivet uden make-up. De er skrevet umiddelbart efter, de udspillede sig. Bogen er altså ikke baseret på en samling ”så vidt jeg husker”-beretninger og vilkårlige tilbageblik.Artiklerne er skrevet endnu inden jagtfeberen helt havde lagt sig ...

The "King of Archery," "The World's Greatest Archer," "One-Shot," all names referring to Howard Hill -the champion of the longbow. No matter the title, Howard Hill was legendary, and his success led to the promotion of traditional archery and a surge of interest in the American Semi-Longbow.Howard Hill viewed the longbow as the most perfect hunting weapon. His modification of the English longbow to suit his needs, became the American Semi-Longbow. The American Semi-Longbow is synonymous with a Hill-style longbow -the bow that led him in his success.Today there are many versions of the American Semi-Longbow. In a quest to find the features that Howard Hill demanded in his own bows, a weapon that he perfected, was the impetus of this study. We can identify his standards by how his bows were built, what he insisted on in his own line of bows offered to the public, and what he taught to the bowyers employed by him. By examining Howard's original bows and following the progression of design until he perfected this weapon, we understand the qualities necessary in a Hill-style longbow. If you would like to know more about the equipment and the bow that led to his success, then you will enjoy this book.Metadata may include Howard Hill, John Schulz, Traditional Archery, Bamboo Bows, Stick Bows, Self Bows, ASL, Hill-Style Longbow, Archery Hunting, Archery History in America, Hunting with the Bow and Arrow, and Hunting the Hard Way.

J.W. Dunne's Sunshine and the Dry Fly is one of the great classics of fly-fishing. First published in 1924, it was written as much to engage and enthuse as to inform, and it succeeded. Its author went down in history as "one of the prophets of old."The book breaks down into two halves, the first describing the art of dry-fly fishing for trout, the flies they eat and his efforts to develop artificial copies, the second a primer on how to make these copies for yourself.This extended third edition is published in its 100th year. It includes a number of lost and hard-to-find treasures, not least two short but lyrical essays aimed at the beginner, recipes for four more dry flies which he had intended for the second edition but mislaid, more complete detail on his fly-dressing materials and three unique archive images.
As young children growing up across America, no one could have predicted their unlikely career paths. They came from the Mississippi lowlands and forests, the hills of Kentucky, Erie County in New York, and North Carolina. They had humble beginnings working in barbershops, restaurants, farming, gunsmithing, and woodworking. They were taught to love the land and appreciate the cycle of life through hunting. While the American wild turkey would be largely absent from the backyards and farms of their youth, they built multi-million dollar game-call businesses rooted in making turkey calls with which to yelp and gobble. Wild turkeys had been driven nearly to extinction by the 1920s. But thanks to hunters, landowners, conservation organizations, researchers, and state game agencies who were driving restoration efforts by the 1950s, the proliferation of wild turkeys is now a sensational success story. Soon, millions of wild turkeys returned across the country, and over two million hunters began seeking the hunting products needed to serve turkey at their tables.A few enterprising individuals born in a ten-year span from 1942 to 1952 were uniquely positioned at the right time in history. Using cutting-edge materials of construction, technologies, production methods, and marketing tools, they went from cobbling together crude turkey calls on kitchen tables, garage floors, and basements to supplying nationwide retailers. They built iconic outdoor brands: KNIGHT & HALE, PRIMOS®, and QUAKER BOY®.In Yelp & Gobble, Inc., you will discover the insider's story of how Harold Knight, David Hale, Will Primos, Jimmy Primos, and Dick & Bev Kirby (continued by their son, Chris) built their game call production companies, enabled by inventors like Mike Battey and technology adopters like Anthony Foster. This is the story of the American dream brought to life.

The author's short stories tell of a lifetime of fishing adventures, from the time he was a teenager floating the Cowpasture River to age 83 when he caught a 10-pound rainbow trout. But this small book is more deeply about how he used fishing as a "positive" addiction to calm his cyclothymia-a mild version of bipolar disorder. Fishing enabled him to have a generally happy and productive life despite this mild handicap. He used fishing, and especially fly fishing, to help him navigate the tough times in his life.Full Circle tells stories of not only catching fish, but of harrowing experiences in some of the wildest and most beautiful waters in the United States---of being treed by a mother grizzly with cubs in Yellowstone to nearly falling to his death in the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. Among his other stories is one about his fifth-great grandmother who after being captured by the Shawnees in 1755, escaped and made her way back through the wilderness to her home in Virginia.Van Lear was the Robert Adger Bowen Professor of Forestry at Clemson University when he retired in 2005. He is also a life member of Trout Unlimited and received their Distinguished Service Award in 2010 for his nearly 20 years of leading projects for the Chattooga River Chapter to restore trout habitat and helping to bring back the southern Appalachian brook trout to the mountains of South Carolina. He has published two books since his retirement, Memories Made and Lessons Learned during a Lifetime of Angling, and Turning Points in the Life of a Fisherman.

Det, du sidder med i hånden, er mere end bare en bog. Det er begyndelsen til din fremtid, som jæger. Det er en fremtid, der vil indeholde mange oplevelser og udfordringer, men også frustrationer og følelsesmæssige rutscheture, som man har svært ved at forstå, før man selv har prøvet det. Det, at gå på jagt, er nemlig meget mere end bare en hobby. Det er en lidenskab – og den ligger så dybt i mennesket, at den har formet vores historie, vores landskab, ja selv vores genetik. Mennesket har nemlig altid været jæger. Og selvom verden i dag er anderledes, end dengang vi gik på jagt med stenalderredskaber, så er der stadig mange aspekter af jagten, der ikke har ændret sig.

In A Full Net, Daignault tells the story of how she came to be an enthusiastic and gifted angler, sharing triumphs (such as 150-lb halibut she caught while serving on a Coast Guard cutter in Alaska) and disappointments (we're looking at you, triggerfish). She shares her knowledge and experience with both the reader and the many people in her book, who range from professional guides to newbies. Through it all shines clearly her love for the waters of the world and respect and admiration for the creatures who call them home.
The word education comes from the Latin word educo, 'to lead out'. I always considered travel as one of the best educators. It broadens the mind with real-life experiences. Travel also broadens the angler's mind and sharpens his or her skill. You meet many anglers from different countries, with their own national culture and of course their own angling traditions. In this book, I try to recount my memoirs of fishing, work and travel. It shows that you don't need a large wallet if you want to catch the fish of your dreams. You may be a student or worker, so take your opportunities when they come. Better to have tried, and caught nothing, than to never have fished at all!
Never before have so many exciting, hair-raising tales of bear encounters been collected into one book. Read about a man who swam into a lake to try to escape a furious bear only to find to his horror that bears can swim too! Or of the old gold prospector who got mauled and sewed up his own stomach-and lived to tell about it! When a bear attacks, it does so with devastating ferocity. Although the average attack lasts but thirty seconds, grievous injury can result from powerful paws and jaws. Strangely enough, most attacks are nonfatal. This book is filled with true-life episodes of close-calls, maulings, and deaths by all three North American bears: black, grizzly, and polar. These stories are not fiction. All are, eerily enough, based on complete fact. Even the FOX TV show When Animals Attack uses Kaniut's material for their shows. The author of two previous best-selling books on dangerous bears brings you a cliffhanger-you won't want to miss his latest and best yet!
