You're welcome. I should note that the 16% discount also applies to the combination of my two big game books, THE LIFE OF THE HUNT and BORN TO HUNT, which is already discounted from the regular price.

Shotguns for Wingshooting—$12.84 Is that right? Or should that be $21.84. Because otherwise that is a really good deal.

I called Eileen yesterday to order the two-book combo, I usually call because my web browser frequently has problems on the site. Besides I get to chat with Eileen! I really liked the .30-'06 chapter in Gun Gack since you used your NULA M24 as the shooter, and I copied your specifications when I ordered my Ought Six from Melvin ten years ago. jim

This is a high quality, hard bound book with a dust jacket that's printed on high quality paper with lots of excellent color photographs, and full of great writing. If you like bird hunting and shotguns, do yourself a BIG favor, and get a copy while Mule Deer still has copies available!
Pursuit may be, it seems to me, perfect without possession.

Thanks, Bob!
We're hoping to make it to Helena this afternoon, but it looks like another snowstorm is brewing.

I read Born to Hunt and now am starting Life of the Hunt. Both are fun reads!

Glad you're enjoying them!
I really like writing that kind of hunting story, and made a good part of my living at it until about 2000, when the market changed to more gear-oriented articles.
Very few magazines run actual hunting stories anymore, where somebody describes the details of how the world looks and feels and even smells. Instead they're articles about the rifle, load and other gear, and often what the animal scored.
There's nothing wrong with all that, and I obviously like rifles and handloading so can write about those things as well. But telling actual hunting stories is more fun, just as it is for most hunters, and apparently always has been even before humans started turning language into written symbols.

We've gotten a couple of direct orders through PayPal from people who apparently missed the notices about the sale, or forgot it was going on. So they'll be getting a partial refund with their orders....

Along with my father's influence, those types of articles are what got me so interested in the outdoors in my youth.
