Punching the Mancard : A Young Hunter's Journey to Find Himself
In this reminiscent short story, Joseph Fehlen shares a tale of growing up in Northern Wisconsin and his 25-year adventure to break free from adolescence by finally succeeding at the annual rite of passage—deer hunting. The journey starts in the farmlands of western Wisconsin and ends in the north woodland. Along the way, he meets a group of memorable characters, some who wish him ill will and still others that want to push him along this continuum into manhood.
Punching the Mancard, brings the reader right into real-life situations of pain, triumph, and, sometimes, utter boredom. As Joseph becomes a hunter, relationships are renewed and others are forged as mentors and friends teach him about life, family, friends, and what really matters: Following rules; wind direction; big racks; and the importance of the national holiday, the Wisconsin Deer Hunting Season.

'Punching the Mancard' is a well written short story of one man's journey to succeed in the sport of deer hunting. As a long time Wisconsin resident I can picture the scenes that the author describes regarding the deer hunting season. Not being a hunter myself (although this book has got me thinking about it) I would recommend this book to hunters and non-hunters alike.
