The Heart of Hunting
While taking home a prize buck may be ‘deer’ to a hunter’s heart, beyond the thrill of the hunt lies the pleasure of the experience.
In The Heart of Hunting, Greig Caigou and Matt Winter set out to capture the complete experience and explain its attractions.
As Greig explains: “The writing attempts to portray the very real and raw experience of the final act of hunting, as well as the other elements that get us out into the hills – wilderness values, free living within the rhythm of nature, seeing and appreciating animals, comradeship, shared adventure and individual hardiness.”
