NRA books "The Hunters Guide" and "Western Big Game Hunting"—Yea or Nay?
I am honorary uncle to my best friends’ kids. The ten year old has been a shooter for several years now and will soon qualify for a hunting license. The NRA offers two books which I am thinking of buying: The Hunter’s Guide and Western Big Game Hunting by Jim Zumbo. Quick reviews by any here who have read them would be appreciated. I do understand that they are, or should be, written beyond a ten-year-old’s reading level but expect two things: Dad will be participating heavily and such books will not soon be outdated so the kid can grow into them.

Don't buy anything by Zumbo...he's anti-gun.

Regardless of "Dumbo's" recent nonsense about "evil black rifles", the man is a very knowledgeable hunter.
Odds are that the books are excellent for a beginner. Books of that sort, coupled with time spent in hunting territory just looking and watching, make the first hunts more likely of success. Art |
