I have thought and thought about the remarkable appeal of John Barsness here and everywhere he is read.

It dawned on me that, in addition to his phenomenal talent at writing, and his unfailing good humor, John has a limitless curiousity about all things hunting, shooting, and living in general. He examines things great and small, and manages to convey both the process and conclusions with a joy he passes to us.

What a treat!
