The 21st Century is a time of profound and wrenching change. The phrase "stop the world, I want to get off" never seemed more appropriate. Robert Sopuck caught his first fish at age 4 in the presence of his father. That fish set off a lifetime of exploration of the natural world. He and his bride, the inestimable Caroline, live on 480 acres of wild land south of Manitoba's Riding Mountain National Park. This book is about their way of life as modern country people who have developed a profound relationship with the land, wildlife, and the ecosystem that supports them. This book describes a way of living with Nature via detailed, funny, informative, and sometimes poignant essays. The first essay, "It All Started with This Fish," describes the beginning of this journey while the second last, "Hunting with Dad" describes his emotions while speaking at his father's funeral about their shared outdoor experiences that made him who he is. In between there are hunting stories, "how to" essays on wild food preparation, and descriptions of unique wildlife experiences.

Hunting is our heritage, our heart, and our future. Where does hunting fit in the modern world? To many, it can seem outdated or even cruel, but as On Hunting affirms, hunting is holistic, honest, and continually relevant. Authors Grossman, Miller, and Cunningham dive deep into the ancient past of hunting and examine its position today, demonstrating that we cannot understand humanity without first understanding hunting. Readers will · discover how hunting formed us, · examine hunting ethics and their adaptation to modernity, · understand the challenges, traditions, and reverence of today’s hunter, · identify hunting skills and their many applications outside the field, · learn why hunting is critical to ecological restoration and preservation, and · gain inspiration to share hunting with others. Drawing from ecology, philosophy, and anthropology and sprinkled with campfire stories, this wide-ranging examination has rich depths for both nonhunters and hunters alike. On Hunting shows that we need hunting still—and so does the wild earth we inhabit.
