Book Reviews of If You Didn't Bring Jerky, What Did I Just Eat: Misadventures in Hunting, Fishing, and the Wilds of Suburbia
Book Review: Captures the genuine mood of all things hunting
Summary: 5 Stars
Bill Heavey is an incredible writer. No, not everything he writes is laugh-out-loud funny...and it's not supposed to be. In so many of the bumbles, backfires, mishaps, and defeat turned to sudden and unexpected triumph, he lets us outdoor enthusiasts see ourselves. In an age of hunting where one-upmanship is constant and the magnificence of our quarry is often reduced to an antler score, we need a writer like Heavey. He captures the intangibles that keep us going out season after season...things we just can't put into words. Read the chapter "The Promised Land" to the end and tell me there's not a surge of emotion rushing over you once finished.
I highly recommend "If You Didn't Bring Jerky..." .
