Where Adventure Meets Discovery:One Man's Hunting and Outdoor Odyssey
Where Adventure Meets Discovery is a rollicking fun-filled book of true stories about hunting and about life. The author begins at the beginning remembering his first BB gun, first squirrel hunt, experiencing "the killer instinct" and growing up in rural southern Indiana. As a young man he learns to hunt deer with bow and arrow via the school of hard knocks and recounts experiences to which any hunter can relate. Later he shares exciting adventures hunting boar and axis deer on the islands of Oahu and Molokai in Hawaii with U.S. Navy SEALs and divers. The author learns about God and about life from "watching wild creatures do what they do". He uses humor, faith and warm colloquial Midwest language to paint the scenes and bring you into the adventures. You'll laugh when he thinks he's falling to his death in the pitch black night of the Pali Pass on Oahu. You'll cry when he loses his twin sons to twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. You'll cheer when he finally secures that first whitetail trophy. You'll be challenged to think while the author struggles with ethics. Hunter and non-hunter alike can relate to the adventurer in these stories, and thrill with exhilaration when that adventure leads to the "ultimate discovery".

Next best thing to hunting
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
When you can't be hunting, the next best thing is reliving wonderful and exciting moments in the great outdoors. Mark brings his wonderful experiences to life in a homespun, passionate way, with a little humor and a lot of good lessons to share as well. It's hard to put the book down once you pick it up. He's a true professional in everything he does in life and I'm proud to say he is my good friend. Mark is as gifted writer as he is a great person and I look forward to reading more from him in the future.
If you hunt, you must read this book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
If you are a hunter, then this book is a must read for you. It creates a window for each and every hunter to look into their past as they laugh and cry at moments in the 'wild' that they can relate to. Share it with your buddies who hunt - share it with your buddies that dont hunt - they wont be disappointed!
