Reviews
"One thing I want to point out about Rinella..........his style of writing (and talking) and his methods, tools and attitudes towards the animals and pursuit really make sense to me. As a transplanted Mid-westerner now living and hunting in the West myself I can really identify where he's coming from on having to evolve from Midwestern traditions and methods about hunting to the Western US approach to the critters out here in the West."
"This book completes my collection of Steven Rinella's works, as I now have them all and have thoroughly enjoyed reading them."
"Also, the infamous Janis Putelis offers some excellent insight, although im really just trying to plug another hunter that i think we should all admire."
"First time hunter or novice this book has something for everyone."
"Fantastic read with plenty of information for all hunters who enjoy chasing small game across a variety of landscapes."
"Absolutely fantastic guide to every conceivable aspect of hunting."
"Volume one is the Wikipedia of big game hunting."
"You simply can't get this quality of information and presentation any cheaper."

When it comes to fishing, nobody knows more than the writers and editors at Field & Stream magazine--unless it's the local guides, prizewinners, and other experts they interviewed for this book . PITCH AROUND PILINGS Bridge pilings across deep areas and large tributaries offer vertical current breaks where bluegills can rise from cooler water to feed near the surface (B). These attract bluegills and are best if they are in deeper spots or have a large concrete structure like a dock piling nearby. 6 cricket hook, under an acorn-size bobber (Pinch two split shot onto the line between the cricket and bobber), starting on the sunny side of the structure, then shifts to the shaded side, casting directly against the dam.

Reviews
"I am very grateful to have this jewel at my fingertips to plan my hike of the Wonderland Trail about a year and a half from now."
"Most places (e.g., Yosemite NP, most Sierra trailheads) have campgrounds at the trailhead where one can count on camping the night before and after, but Rainier appears to have no such options at Lake Mowich or Sunrise or Longmire."
"Excellent informative resources that saved a lot of time to work and prepare."
"For me, it brought back rich memories of a family-group hike 38 years ago: my mother at 78, myself at 44, my brother at 40, a young adult friend in her thirties, three teen-age boys (two during one section, a different one during the rest)."
"Great book!"
"Excellent book, I plan to have it on my kindle as well."
"Very entertaining and descriptive book."
"Thorough and funny, this is an excellent guide to hiking the Wonderland Trail."

Best Shooting in Hunting

Long Range Shooting Handbook
Included are personal tips and best advice from my years of special operations sniper schooling and experience, and as a sniper instructor.If you are an experienced shooter, this guide will be a resource covering the principles and theory of long range shooting. This is the preliminary book to help you understand fundamental concepts such as MOA vs Mils and external ballistics, that can be like a trusted resource at the range.Learning to shoot long range isn't that difficult. Author Ryan Cleckner is unmatched in long distance accuracy and in this fantastic book, he tells us how it's done. While the subject of this book is hitting a target way out there with a heavier caliber super accurate rifle a small game hunter could even be blessed by this information. For law enforcement and citizens who want to be prepared for any long distance occasion, this book is absolutely a must read. I could have gotten there myself eventually I know, but the Long Range Shooting Handbook got me there faster and with a better grasp of all that was happening between the buttstock and the target."
Reviews
"The Long Range Shooting Handbook gives a clear-cut, no B.S approach and explanation to the fundamentals of long range shooting. Another thing to note is that many books on this subject which are introductory level, which the Long Range Shooting Handbook is meant to be, spend the whole book saying, "In (book, course, etc.). The cover should read, "An extremely comprehensive handbook guide to long range shooting." The Long Range Shooting Handbook will be the absolute best purchase decision you've made for you shooting gear bag in quite some time."
"The paper the book is printed on is of good quality, but it could be better."
"Learned a lot from first read, some memories of Military training evoked."
"This is the easiest book to read on long range shooting."
"It is logically organized (the importance of which cannot be understated), well written, fast paced for a non-fiction work, humorous only often enough to remind you the author is a real person, and immensely useful."
"Ryan shares with the reader the fundamentals that will develop consistent long range shots."
"Then I found out about this book by Cleckner that was published in January 2016."
"Extremely well written, well organized, highly informative educational material on a specific subject matter which this former U. S. Army Ranger (Airborne) expert has forgotten more about than other so called "experts" ever knew and I'm still reading it.........now for the 2nd time & taking prolific notes on it as well!"
