Super Slam: Adventures With North American Big Game

Rating:
Summary: no excitement
Review: I was disappointed that the great adventure of hunting 27 "big game" of North America was reduced to a tedious chronicle where you can almost substitue the 27 different animals into the "story"....how the guide took the hunter to the hunted and an arrow was shot killing the animal.

I can imagine the experience and knowledge that Chuck Adams has to have to be able to hunt these various animals with a bow and arrow and was hoping to "feel" excitement of the pursuit, the description of the dangers involved, the details of the hunting experience with a bow but alas all I got was a monotonous style of writing describing how he arrived, saw and shot.

Tedious reading. If you really want to read a good book about bow and arrow hunting, read the Field Notes of Fred Bear, well written, detailed and it lets you feel the hunt, written by the hand of the master bow hunter.
