Summary: Marion teams up with her hunting-mad son, Jason, and young Kiwi hunters to present an exciting collection of sporting and adventure stories, poems and 'a million things hunters should know' ... Each yarn might be true or partly true, or totally made up. There's a bit of fishing - like the great snapper story - and the tragedy of the hunting brothers who, like their grandfather, 'pass it on'. Even an unusual myth relating to an ornamental pig, and a boy who plucks possum fur for money. You'll love the story-poem of Papahee as he races out with his father to catch a boar that his killing the farmer's lambs, leaving behind only their snowy-white skins. Most exciting and fresh are stories straight from the pens of our young huntsmen, each one with a photograph of them with their quarry.
