Good Hunting: In Pursuit of Big Game in the West
Excerpt from Good Hunting: In Pursuit of Big Game in the West
It is interesting, also, to remember that the influence of the author has been con stantly exerted in favor of the preserva tion of big game and the maintenance of national parks and forest reserves, which, in addition to other advantages, include the protection of these noble forms of animal life.
This series of articles upon big-game hunting was written for H arper's Round Table, and published therein in 1897. The picture of ranch-life which forms the closing chapter appeared in H arper's Round Table in 1896. These articles are now presented together in book form for the first time after consultation with the author. For the title of the book and the proof-reading the publishers are te sponsible.

It is very very difficult not to read this little book while keeping Teddy Roosevelt on a pedestal, if you are wanting some profound little book of Hunting this isn't is, this is a collection of short stories sent in to magazines they are quirky and it feels like someone telling you a quick story about a certain. animal they hunted. I enjoyed it to me made Teddy to be more one of the buddies around the campfire.

The late President Teddy Roosevelt talks about the kinds of big game he has hunted in the Rockies and High Plain states. There is also a section about the qualifications for working on a ranch for anyone who might think to live out that way.

A late 19th perspective on hunting
An enjoyable read. The style of hunting and the assessments of various animals would add to any Hunter Education class.

Fair Information. Not an award winning book
Nice to read the thoughts of the Roughrider.
Semi-interesting but still a reasonable read.
I doubt I will read another

Loved it! Short stories authored by TR about a few of his observations and hunts in the Western parts of the USA.

It's a decent quick read. Gives a little knowledge about some animals and some nice stories involving them. Nothing too great or crazy.

A quick read, but surprisingly unentertaining. The stories in the book are bland and lack excitement. Fine read to pass time, otherwise, not recomended.
