A Definitive Study of the Mind, Body, and Ecology of the Hunter in the Modern World

By: Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, Linda K. Miller, Capt. Keith A. Cunningham

Narrated by: Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, Linda K. Miller, Capt. Keith A. Cunningham

Hunting is our heritage, our heart, and our future.

Where does hunting fit in the modern world? To many, it can seem outdated or even cruel, but as On Hunting affirms, hunting is holistic, honest, and continually relevant. Authors Grossman, Miller, and Cunningham dive deep into the ancient past of hunting and examine its position today, demonstrating that we cannot understand humanity without first understanding hunting.

Listeners will:

• Discover how hunting formed us.
• Examine hunting ethics and their adaptation to modernity.
• Understand the challenges, traditions, and reverence of today’s hunter.
• Identify hunting skills and their many applications outside the field.
• Learn why hunting is critical to ecological restoration and preservation.
• Gain inspiration to share hunting with others.

Drawing from ecology, philosophy, and anthropology and sprinkled with campfire stories, this wide-ranging examination has rich depths for both nonhunters and hunters alike. On Hunting shows that we need hunting still—and so does the wild earth we inhabit.

A seminal work

The most definitive literature on hunting since the great Ortega y Gasset’s and Roger Scruton’s

Real

The quality of the book is not just in its extensive research and organization, but in the story they tell. You will at times feel like you’re at a dinner table listening to these three great minds talk.

Spot on.

I've been hunting for over 40 years, this book hit home for me on so many levels. I can even properly articulate the level of emotions this both to the surface, first animal, being in the woods, watching game for decades. If you are a hunter I highly recommend this book. You will not regret it.
