I can honestly say that this book pretty seriously shifted my mindset about hunting! I though it was organized well, the stories in it were funny, touching, and informative, and it was so cool hearing a defense of hunting from the perspective of someone that shares a lot of my same politics.
Coming from a rural area, I know a lot of people that hunt, so I can't say that I ever thought it was necessarily a bad thing, but I was completely uninformed about how it actually very much serves and helps the environment and conservation efforts. I don't see myself becoming a hunter any time soon, but I do want to start being more sustainable when it comes to the foods I buy from the grocery store - especially meat. I don't buy a lot, but I could definitely do more research as to where it is coming from and if it is ethically sourced.
I would recommend this book if you are into animals and conservation, and if you have strong opinions and feelings about hunting but are open to having your mind changed!!
