Summary

Jim Dean, longtime editor of ###Wildlife in North Carolina#, shares his personal observations on the pleasures and frustrations of hunting, fishing, camping, and other outdoor pursuits in this gem of a book. ###Dogs That Point, Fish That Bite# draws together fifty of Dean's best essays, arranged into a loose chronicle of the sporting year -- from the opening day of trout season to a New Year's Day spent alone in a mountain cabin. A witty and sometimes poignant collection, it celebrates the wild places and rural traditions that have become endangered in our modern world.
