1: something you can relate to
Stumbled across this after reading one Bill's columns in Field & Stream & having a friend tell me he had a book. Have been reading a story or two each day...makes a great bathroom book. My favorite is the one I read yesterday about Bill taking his preschool age daughter "hunting" (helping him scout for deer sign) and then coming home & watching big buck videos together. Kind of reminded me of myself when I was little. All in all it's a great book for anyone who loves the outdoor lifestyle.

2: There's A Laugh on Page 59
I'm serious, I made a mental note of the only laugh in the book. In an introduction it is said Pat Mcmanus goes for the belly laugh while this author goes for a chuckle. Chuckle is apprently a codeword for humourless. The author goes into more tecnical details about hunting and fishing gadgets than Pat does so if you like reading about junk to carry on a hunt this will be a plus. But if your are looking for a humorous take on the outdoors look elsewhere.

3: Just hilarious
I have been reading Bill Heavey's column in Field and Stream for years, and he has never failed to entertain me. His book has not disappointed me, it is packed with the same brand of tongue-in-cheek humor. If you are an outdoorsman, you willl definately relate to Heavey's soul baring escapades. I highly recommend this book

4: Fantastic book
A great book. Very well written. I teach journalism and English and use examples from this book often. Poetic, poignant, and just plain fun.

5: One of the best I have read lately
It's been a long time since a book brought tears of laughter to my eyes but Bill's book did just that. He is an example of all of us, if we would be honest enough to admit it that is.
When I read about his bowhunting in bedroom slippers it really hit home, I made it to the driveway once wearing mine.
I would recommend this book to anyone who needs a laugh, but be prepared to read it once you begin you will not want to put it down. The only sad part about my experience was when the book came to an end; I sure hope Bill has another in the works.
