Book Description
"Hoof Prints to HIS Prints" brings together everything a spiritually-minded deer hunter experiences while pursuing the whitetail deer. Many deer hunters are talking about how they feel so close to God in the woods. It's not surprising. The Bible says, "As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for you, O God." In "Hoof Prints to HIS Prints", you will enjoy more than 52 stories tracking through the seasons of life—stories of inspiration, laughter, friendship and comradery, family and even trials. Each devotional walks a trail through the woods and into the Word of God. You will likely relive many of your own adventures in the whitetail woods. You don't even have to hunt to be captivated by this book. It aims to interest everyone who is searching for meaning in life. This is a book you will read and then want to share with others. Come along for the pursuit. There's a great trophy waiting at the end.

Book Description
A celebration of fishing the steelhead trout from California to Oregon, this book gives witness to the pleasures of the outdoorsman and the camaraderie of those who have pursued a prize grudgingly accorded on occasion to those who love the chase. The flavor of the trail, the camp, and the sheer exuberance of the untainted air and uninhabited banks are brilliantly rendered.

When Mary Mitchell agrees to go on the Oregon Trail with her family, she certainly has ulterior motives. Believing that married women are no more than servants to men and children, she wants to get her own homestead, and Oregon is the place she can do just that. Her father discovers her plans, and he tells her she must marry one of the single men who are on the Trail with them, and she only has a week to decide who it will be. Bob Hastings is enamored of boyish Mary from the moment he meets her, and he continually asks her to dance with him when they have music nights on the trail. One night he even got up the courage to kiss her. He knows Mary’s predicament and offers himself as her husband, though he knows she doesn’t want a husband or children. Will the two of them be able to see past their differences and find happiness? Or will the hardships of the Trail be too much for them to withstand?

Book Description
A preacher wrote this collection of absolutely essential nonsense. It is guaranteed that every word you read will be the purely fabricated and well-garnished truth based on solid and verifiable fiction. By necessity, the names of some of the folk on these pages have been changed in order to protect their guilt. The preacher is a sometime fisherman and an every-chance-I-get hunter. He holds charter membership in one of the most notorious and exclusive sporting clubs in all of North America. And it is because of his frequent association with fellow members that he sometimes has difficulty handling the truth without taking some awful liberties with it. You would too, if you hung around with the likes of this crew. He has traveled over a lot of the real estate of our wonderful globe. He has seen the beauty of Galilee's sea and Australia's great coral reefs, Hawaii's silver sand and Canada's magnificent Rockies. He has traveled by dugout log canoe to headwaters of the mighty Amazon and gazed on Niagara Falls. He's been from the bottom of the Grand Canyon to the top of the Sears Tower. But the most beautiful sights in this world, he declares, are seen from the top of Pole Creek ridge, Marble Creek pass, the knob on Greenhorn Mountain and an elk stand in Eastern Oregon.
