The Life of the Hunt
John Barsness, author ofWestern SkiesandMontana Time, shares  his adventures pursuing big game around the world, from Montana to  Alaska, Africa to the Czech Republic.  For John, the hunt is much more  than the trophy.  Sometimes funny, and always engaging, he shares with us  the entire experience of the hunt, from meditations on the concept of  "sport" itself to the adrenaline rush of the shot.In The Life of the  Hunt, an appreciation for wild things meets the thrill of the chase  head-on and blends into a harmonious philosophy.  Hunting connects us to  the patterns that govern our lives: life and death, past and future.   Barsness says it best, "I cannot imagine an existence without a taste of  the life of the game."
