A Grouse Hunter's Almanac: The Other Kind of Hunting

Mark Parman (Author)

"There are two kinds of hunting: ordinary hunting, and ruffed-grouse hunting."—Aldo Leopold, from A Sand County Almanac

Like that earlier grouse hunter Aldo Leopold, Mark Parman takes to the woods when the aspens are smoky gold. Here, in an evocative almanac that chronicles the early season of the grouse hunt through its end in the snows of January, Parman follows his dog through the changing trees and foliage, thrills to the sudden flush of beating wings, and holds a bird in hand, thankful for the meal it will provide. Distilling twenty seasons of grouse hunting into these essays, he writes of old dogs and gun lust, cover and clear cutting, climate change, companions male and female, wildlife art, and stumps. A Grouse Hunter’s Almanac delves into the mind of a hunter, exploring the Northwoods with an eye for more than just game.

White Hunters:The Golden Age of African Safaris

Brian Herne (Author)

East Africa affects our imagination like few other places: The sight of a charging rhino goes directly to the heart; the limitless landscape of bony highlands, desert, and mountain is, as Isak Dinesen wrote, of "unequalled nobility." White Hunters is the story of seventy years of African adventure, danger, and romance. It re-creates the legary big-game safaris led by Selous and Bell and the daring ventures of early hunters into unexplored territories, and brings to life such romantic figures as Cape-to-Cairo Grogan, who walked 4,000 miles for the love of a woman, and Dinesen's dashing lover, Denys Finch. Witnesses to the richest wildlife spectacle on the earth, these hunters were the first conservationists. Hard-drinking, infatuated with risk, and careless in love, they inspired Hemingway's stories and movies with Clark Gable and Gregory Peck.

About the Author

Brian Herne, formerly a professional hunter, founded the international professional hunters' magazine Track, and has written for numerous magazines, including Outdoor Life, Petersen's Hunting, Safari Times, and African Life. He lives in San Diego, California.

The plight of foxhunting people as an 'Endangered Species' became actue on 15th September 2004 when the House of Commons decided by 190 votes to ban hunting eighteen months hence - the Labour government saying that it intended to over-rule the House of Lords by using the controversial Parliament Act. It was widely condemned as an assult on the liberties and traditions of our countryside. There could be no more apropriate time for the publication of Michael Clayton's highly entertaining and informative celebration of modern foxhunting.

Brothers Plead Guilty to Felonies in Connection with Kansas Deer Hunting and Guiding Operation

WASHINGTON – James Bobby Butler Jr. and Marlin Jackson Butler pleaded guilty today in federal court in Wichita, Kan., to felony conspiracy and wildlife trafficking charges stemming from the illegal sale of guided deer hunts in southern Kansas, the Department of Justice and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Kansas announced.   

James Bobby Butler Jr., 42, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to violate the Lacey Act, one substantive Lacey Act count and one count of obstruction of justice.   His brother, Marlin Jackson Butler, 36, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to violate the Lacey Act and one Lacey Act count.   Both men are from Martinsville, Texas.

The Lacey Act is a federal law that makes it illegal to knowingly transport or sell in interstate commerce any wildlife taken or possessed in violation of state law or regulation.

According to the May 2010 indictment in the case and today’s plea agreements, James and Marlin Butler conspired together to knowingly transport and sell in interstate commerce deer that had been hunted in violation of Kansas state law.   The brothers operated a guiding service and hunting camp near Coldwater, Kan., at which they sold guiding services to out-of-state hunters for the purpose of illegally hunting and killing white-tailed and mule deer.   Hunters guided by the Butler brothers killed deer in excess of annual bag limits, hunted deer without permits or using permits for the wrong deer management unit, killed deer using illegal equipment and hunted using prohibited methods such as spotlighting.  

The guided hunts were sold for between $2,500 and $5,500, and in several instances resulted in the killing of trophy-sized buck deer.   In today’s plea agreements, the Butlers admitted knowingly selling guided hunts for the illegal taking of the 25 buck deer identified in the indictment, for which hunters paid them a total of $77,500 in guiding fees plus tips.   In addition to selling guiding services, the brothers also arranged for transport of the deer, in particular the antlers and capes, from Kansas to Texas and Louisiana.

James Butler also admitted in his plea agreement that he instructed another person to conceal or destroy evidence during the investigation.

The maximum penalty for a felony violation of the conspiracy statute and the Lacey Act includes up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.   The maximum penalty for the obstruction charge against James Butler includes up to 20 years in prison and $250,000 fine.   According to the plea agreements filed today, the prosecution agreed to recommend sentences of 41 months in prison for James Butler and 27 months in prison for Marlin Butler, in addition to fines, restitution and three years of supervised release during which time both Butler brothers would be prohibited from all hunting and guiding activity.   Sentencing hearings for both defendants are set for June 2, 2011.

The case was investigated by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.   The case is being jointly prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Kansas and Environmental Crimes Section of the Justice Department’s Environment and Natural Resources Division.

Mountain Time: A Yellowstone Memoir

Paul Schullery (Author)

"Mountain Time, a thoughtful and often moving work, is not only about Yellowstone as a superb sample of American wildness, . . . but also about a man named Paul Schullery and his relationship to it. This fact gives the book much richness and power, for Schullery comes across clearly as a caring, observant, undogmatic person whose reasonable and intelligent opinions are reinforced by plenty of facts. In a certain mood, it is possible to wish (vainly) that people of his civilized caliber were the only ones allowed to open their mouths very widely on any subject that really matters, as Yellowstone definitely does." --John Graves, author of Goodbye to a River and From a Limestone Lodge

"Paul has pushed outdoor writing to new limits. I pay him the highest compliment I can: I wish I had written Mountain Time." --Lionel Atwill, Sports Afield

About the Author

Paul Schullery is the author, co-author, or editor of three dozen books on nature, conservation, and outdoor sport. He is recipient of the Wallace Stegner Award, the Roderick Haig-Brown Award, and a Panda Award for the PBS film Yellowstone: America's Sacred Wilderness, which he wrote andnarrated.

Hunting, Gathering, & Videogames

Todd Allen Gates (Author)

The common conservative answer to the question "Why do we work?" is that it's to pursue maximum wealth and status, regardless of personal fulfillment. The common rebellious answer, on the other hand, is that work is for pursuing one's inner calling, regardless of financial consequences. This book was written for the philosophically-minded teenager and young adult struggling to make sense out of these contradictory approaches.

PART I: "Why Do We Have to Work?" looks at the history of why we've always had to work, tracing the common link between the workday of the prehistoric hunter and gatherer, the first millennium B.C. farmer, the first century A.D. pottery-maker, the nineteenth century assembly-line worker, and today's videogame programmer. Included in this overview is an explanation of why we use this odd thing called "money": why the complications of bartering inevitably lead communities with multiple goods and services to use some type of medium-of-exchange (be it beads or dollar bills) to solve their trading problems.

PART II: "Work, Wealth, & Status" focuses on today's world, and contrasts our culture's guideline for happiness--the wealth, status, and identity we derive from our careers--with a guideline that instead aims for a balance of our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions.

The insights I've gained from writing this book have helped me find (relative) peace within employment, and it's my hope they'll help the reader as well.

Seasons & Days: A Hunting Life

Thomas McIntyre (Author)

"The desire to hunt and kill comes from a place well before reason and words, so that when it arises it does so almost always beyond articulation. Most hunters can't even say when it began for them." In this compendium, McIntyre covers such topics as stag hunting in Scotland, turkey hunting in Mexico, alligator hunting in Florida, kudu hunting in Africa, and much more. HUNTING DAYS explores what lives in the heart of every hunter, and in so doing truly captures the essence of the hunt. Through numerous stories about hunting, Thomas McIntyre captivates his readers by bringing them right into the action of the intense struggle between the hunter and his prey. Recounted are stories that encompass various aspects of the hunt, including: The sobering and spiritual pursuit of a bandtail pigeon; Hunting grouse in the north country of British Columbia; Wading in icy mud at dawn while setting out decoys for mallard ducks; First impressions of a wild turkey strutting into range; Hunting wildfowl and fishing for bass in Castro's Cuba; Hunting pronghorns on the sage-covered plains in Wyoming; Battling the cold while hunting wild pigs in a canyon in California; And much more From this seasoned hunter and gifted writer come tales of courage, ethics, intensity, and the overall thrill of the hunt. To McIntyre, it is not the prize but the chase that serves as the ultimate reward--ringing true the words of the Spanish philosopher, José Ortega y Gasset: "I hunt not to kill, but to have hunted."

Survive in the Wilderness With the Canadian and Australian Special Forces (Elite Forces Survival Guides)

Chris McNab (Author)

“In my honest opinion the Australian Special Forces would have to be the supreme survival specialists. They operated behind enemy lines in both Afghanistan and Iraq in the last few years and during these dangerous mission did not lose a single member of the force. One was lost later in a vehicle explosion after driving over a mine.

I am not a specialist in this field, just an interested civilian. Found it a great guide and an eye-opener.”
