From brown bear and Dall's sheep in Alaska, to elephant and Cape
buffalo in Africa, Dwight Van Brunt has hunted much of the world's
great game. In Born a Hunter, his first book, he takes the reader along
on more than thirty exciting trips afield. Honest, humorous and edgy,
Van Brunt writes in a fashion that goes beyond the too-common
where-to-go and how-to-do-it that is so common in outdoor writing. Join
him on an exciting chase after a cattle-killing leopard and a grueling
hunt for a grand desert bighorn. Share his adventures for Stone's sheep
in the Yukon, desert mule deer in Sonora, and both sable and kudu in
Namibia. Look over his shoulder as he hunts bighorn sheep, moose, elk,
and deer alone and with his son and daughter. With field photography,
and superb illustrations by Jocelyn Russell, Van Brunt has spent a
lifetime pondering why he is so drawn to the hunt. His book is a
must-read for anyone who shares his passion.
