Hunting The Edges

by Richard L. Yatzeck

Overview

Hunting the Edges offers both fine and funny examples of the classic hunting story, and something more: an acknowledgment of that edge between the cycles of modern life and the age-old seasonal call of the hunt. Dick Yatzeck’s tales of hunting and fishing through his youth and adulthood will resonate with many readers who also leave behind a job and house in town for boots and camouflage and the wild cries of geese.

Editorial Reviews

Hunting the Edges is a delight. It is more than a hunting book: it is a testament to truth as much as the hunter can know it, which, Yatzeck will tell you, can be as far off the mark as a load of six’s fired at a racketing grouse.”—Bill Stokes, author of The River Is Us


“Dick Yatzeck, along with the late George Vukelich and Mel Ellis, stands out among the best Wisconsin outdoor writers.”—Chuck Petrie, Ducks Unlimited Magazine
