Reviews of Sticking to My Guns…

"You reminded me why I love to hunt. You put into words the feelings I could never quite articulate—the smell of the woods in autumn, the cold of winter in a tree stand, the gripping drama between man and animal. Thank you!"

"I was never a hunter but, nevertheless, I was inspired by your love of the sport and your love for life. I believe you can help many others who have suffered great tragedy but who need to see that life is always worth living."

"You give quite a sense of place, habitat, and people. Through your story I begin to understand that I'm one in a very long line of folks who have already walked this land and who will keep walking it after I'm gone."
