What if everything you thought about deer hunting was wrong? That the biggest deer wasn’t always the best one.
Wilder is back on his grandad’s ranch in West Texas and a run-in with his dangerous neighbor, Saul, spins Wilder’s head like the blizzard that hits the ranch day before Thanksgiving. Along with his sister, Molly, Wilder must rethink his ideas about what a trophy is, and how he relates to the wild landscape around him.
“Sometimes you learn nature’s lessons by hearing them, and sometimes you learn them by experience. There is no better author writing today describing both.” – Will Rogers Medallion Award committee
This is an outstanding book to share with your kids, your grandkids, or any other young person with whom you’d like to share the love of hunting and the outdoors- and is even something us “older” readers will greatly enjoy.
