Chasing The Hunter's Dream
1/22/08
The 1,001 Best Hunting Destinations Around the World
By Jeffrey Engel, Sherol Engel, and James A. Swan, Ph.D.
A new book by three authors with more than 100 collective years of hunting experience around the world is a complete guide to "1,001 of the World's Best Duck Marshes, Deer Runs, Elk Meadows, Pheasant Fields, Bear Woods, Safaris, and Extraordinary Hunts." CHASING THE HUNTER'S DREAM is written by Jeffrey and Sherol Engel, hosts of the award-winning television series Engel's Outdoor Experience, and James A. Swan, an author and writer for the show.
"There are at least 37 million people worldwide who enjoy sport hunting, about half of whom live in the United States," they write. "Despite the abundance of most game species, and the wealth of equipment available to the modern hunter, if you haven't got a place to hunt, then the spirit of the hunt will wane, dilute the great conservation efforts that are under way, and dim the future of this noble pursuit." CHASING THE HUNTER'S DREAM is designed to fill that void, covering the entire range of hunting destinations, both public and private, from no-cost hunting lands to upscale resorts, and all around the world.
The authors will be featured at the upcoming January 23-26 SCI Hunters Convention in Reno, Nevada, where they will be signing books for convention guests and will be available for interviews.
Already among the best-selling outdoor books on the online giant Amazon.com and praised by the San Francisco Chronicle, The Denver Post, New York Post, Orlando Sentinel, and the National Taxidermists Association, CHASING THE HUNTER'S DREAM is packed with useful information based on the personal experiences of the authors. Organized by location, the book includes expert advice on the best locations to hunt both big and small game throughout North America, Mexico, Africa, New Zealand, Asia, Europe, and Australia. It covers the entire experience of the hunt, including such topics as:
- Choosing a guide and outfitter
- Being a safe and ethical hunter
- Preparing for a great hunt
- Choosing equipment and clothing for each locale
- Detailed descriptions of hunting opportunities by area and what to expect in each
- Travel and wilderness medicine
- Getting your trophy home
- Wild game recipes, and much more
Authors Jeffrey and Sherol Engel promote hunting education and conservation in their acclaimed hunting seminars and television show, Engel's Outdoor Experience, which airs on the Outdoor Channel. They live in Delafield, Wisconsin. James A. Swan, Ph.D., is a columnist for ESPNOutdoors.com, writes for Engel's Outdoor Experience, is the author of seven other books including In Defense of Hunting and The Sacred Art of Hunting, and is a screen actor who has appeared in a number of television shows and feature films. He lives in the San Francisco Bay area.
CHASING THE HUNTER'S DREAM is published by Collins, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers. The 514-page paperback book is heavily illustrated with on-location photos. It sells for $19.95 and is available online and at bookstores nationally.
