a Man Made of Elk: Stories, Advice, and Campfire Philosophy from Lifetime Traditional Bowhunting

"Like all of the few 'outdoor' books that truly deserve to endure, is, well...different. That's logical enough, for the same can be said of its author. A former Marine pilot and current backwoods intellectual, idealist, iconoclast, and, yes, hunter, Dave Petersen defies categorization as adroitly as his terrific prose.... I know deer hunters, bear hunters, and sheep hunters, but I don't know anyone else who identifies as completely with one species of game as Dave Petersen identifies with elk. This book's title goes beyond metaphor; the guy made of elk."
