GREAT BOOK!

Great book! Get it for your father if he's a hunter or for son who hunts with father!

This is a great book. If it doesn't make you want to go squirrel hunting nothing will. I bought a 22 rifle and can't wait till it cools off so I can try it out. Thanks for reminding me of my younger years in the field.

Great book

This brought back many wonderful memories of my childhood in KY and those magic times spent in the woods.

memories of a time gone by.....

My Dad was an avid squirrel hunter after the War (II) and brought me along with him long before I could ever carry a gun. He involved me in many of his favorite outdoor activities and I still thank him, although he is gone, every day for his patience and love for me. Ron Ellis is a very talented writer that has evoked vivid memories of those hunts with my Dad. It is a book that I carry with me when I travel. I read a few pages each night before turning in. It is that good.....
