Beyond Fair Chase

A wonderful memory and endorsement of Orion's founder Jim Posewitz and of his influential book Beyond Fair Chase in the blog The Starving Sportsman :
...We were all given a book in these classes.  Beyond Fair Chase by Jim Posewitz.  I remember sitting and reading this book in my room from front to back in one sitting.  It’s not a big book but when it took my literally 5 years to read “Five Years to Freedom”, you get the idea I'm not much of a reader.  I found my original copy that was given to me while sitting in that high school study hall room so long ago this past weekend.
I remember some stories in it vividly.  The one about the hunter not knowing if he should take the shot.  The bow hunter who vowed to never hunt the next season if he did not find his bull, yet after 30 days of searching he was able to finally tag his bull in a clearing he had walked by many times the previous month.  This book is filled with so much of what a hunter should be and strive to be.  ETHICS…

  1. The easiest way to get Beyond Fair Chase is thru Amazon or better yet, have your local independent book store order you a copy (or several to give to your friends!).

  4. That's a great book! I read it about a year ago when I was absolutely new to hunting and it was very helpful for me. Now I already have some experience and useful tools and going to purchase few more from here: http://www.atncorp.com/smart-hd-binocular. I'd like to buy ATN X-SIGHT II HD 5-20x.

  7. Hi there, fellow Vignette stitchers and Leannes House fans. I signed up to stitch Vignette early on, but had to wait for my supplies to arrive in dribs and drabs. Last weekend I got the block pieced and traced, and have made a small start on the stitching this week. I'm loving the Cosmo threads, they are so silky to work with, beautiful!
