The popular Field and Stream columnist shares the many joys—and even more numerous pains—of his hilarious outdoor antics in this essay collection. For more than twenty years, Bill Heavey—a three-time National Magazine Award finalist—has staked a claim as one of America’s best sportswriters. In his Field & Stream column, “A Sportsman’s Life,” and feature stories for that magazine and others, he takes readers across the country and beyond to experience his triumphs and failures as a suburban dad who happens to love hunting and fishing. This new collection gathers a wide range of Heavey’s best work. He nearly drowns attempting to fish the pond inside the cloverleaf off an interstate highway four miles from the White House. He almost destroys a houseboat on a river in Florida and bravely buys pantyhose to save his legs on a long horseback ride into the Wyoming mountains. Whether he’s hunting mule deer in Montana, draining cash on an overpriced pistol, or ruminating on the joys and agonies of outdoor gear, Heavey’s tales are odes to the notion that enthusiasm is more important than skill. “Readers don’t have to hunt or fish to appreciate Mr. Heavey’s essays, which . . . are more complicated than they first appear. The title of his book evokes the knee-slapping comedy of the campfire, a promise that his peculiar brand of farce frequently fulfills. But he also displays a gift for the sublime.” —Wall Street Journal

Every month when the Field and Stream magazine came in the mail I'd read it cover to cover, as I have for the last several years. First I'd pick the hunts most relevant to me -- they hadn't covered much small game for a while when I was growing up, and I'd hit those articles first especially if they covered pheasant or grouse which has surged in popularity in recent years. The last article I'd read was perhaps my favorite, the back column where Bill Heavey played the outdoor putz just trying to get along in life. It's usually good for a gut busting laugh that puts you in your place with the often satirical view of the outdoors, hunting, and the avoidance like the plague of interpersonal relationships you sometimes have to initiate to enjoy the former. Almost like the hunting version of Anthony Bourdain I relish his self deprecating humor because his twisted wit mirrors my own, if I could write half as well as he could I might be a thousandaire.The chapters are essentially his back page articles with a few of his full length magazine stories peppered in, you can jump in wherever you want and you can pick it up any time for a quick read. I read about half of the book in one surge during a flight to Baltimore and back, reminiscing on Field and Stream magazines of years past. He's well read and articulate about the topic, even if you feel like you've been hornswaggled over the years by the pantyhose clad red nosed mook that adorns the back inside page. I'm not exactly what you'd call an avid reader, after having been burnt out in grad school with books on IT, Criminal Justice, and other bad things happening in the world this was a refreshing kick in the groin to get me to read the things that were important in my life now.This series of short stories will make you want to chase Chrome with Mikey, remember that two people in a hunting party become inextricably linked after mere hours together -- sharing their deepest secrets because you're quiet and have to listen, and it will make you wince in horror as Bill misses turkey after turkey... after turkey.It's a quick read and you can keep it at camp for a bedtime story with a side of some good whiskey, preferably anything other than the swill you brought. For $16 on Amazon it was money well spent for a hard cover that's going in my outdoor reading collection.
