Hunters and fishermen are breeds unto themselves. Hilarious!  
My brother-in-law is receiving a used book from me. I made the wonderful mistake of perusing the book; I savored all of it. He is getting the book with my comments. I wished for more selections. The stories are so much fun!

For the humorous hunter  
Hunters and fishermen who appreciate humor will love THE GREAT DUCK MISUNDERSTANDING AND OTHER STORIES: THE VERY BEST OF AMERICAN FISHING & HUNTING HUMOR: it reflects gently on the ironies and inconsistencies of such varied topics as the deer camp, the symbolism of a wild duck attached to a roadside stand, and the impact of TV hunting shows. A fine compendium of laughs by some of the great outdoors writers of the world.

Outdoor hilarity  
After a rousing introduction, Peterson bestows on the lucky reader the writings of P.J. O'Rourke, Jean Shepard, and James Thurber on the manly pastimes of hunting and fishing. Russell Chatham joins in with the title story and women keep pace with Nancy Anisfield on a grouse hunt. The contents are woven in an artful fashion so the book can be enjoyed at random or read from cover to cover. Two camo-covered thumbs up for this fine addition to the humor bookshelf, a bargain many times over for the hunter or fisherperson who knows how ridiculous they look in those Filson togs.
