Description

A collection of humorous essays on bobcat encounters, birding, and other outdoorsmen misadventures from the Outdoor Life columnist hailed as "a treasure" (The Atlantic).

"Bestselling outdoor humorist McManus bags another in this collection of yarns featuring irascible woodsman Rancid Crabtree, 'Phantom of the Woods' Retch Sweeney, boyhood pal Crazy Eddie, and others of McManus's acquaintance. Also meet hunting dog Strange, dog delinquent, whose prey of choice is year-old roadkill. Readers of McManus's humor column in Outdoor Life will enjoy his observations on the joys of pig-back riding, workshop puttering, and Sasquatch ducking. So will those who, like McManus's wife Bun, appreciate nature most from the window of a seven-story luxury hotel." -- Library Journal

"McManus is a brilliant humorist, particularly in describing human reactions to the unexpected... Certain pieces will appeal only to hunters and anglers, but other entries are so notable that the book deserves a wide audience." -- Publishers Weekly

Praise for Patrick F. McManus

"Everybody should read Patrick McManus." -- The New York Times Book Review

"A style that brings to mind Mark Twain, Art Buchwald, and Garrison Keillor." -- People

"Describing Patrick F. McManus as an outdoor humorist is like saying Mark Twain wrote books about small boys... the funniest writer around today -- indoors or outdoors." -- The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
