A reframing of hunting through the lens of conservation, nature, equity, and community from a conservationist and lifelong outdoorsman. The hunter-as-conservationist is one of the most intentional ways to live in deep connection with the land. And the hunting community is changing; hunters are becoming more urban, more politically diverse, and hunters from all backgrounds are increasingly finding a deep reverence for the land. Through the lens of whitetail deer, eastern waterfowl, and wild turkey, activist and avid hunter, Dr. Brandon Dale uncovers a new, beautiful way of looking at hunting and those who practice it.  The Studies in Nature series offers close observations, passionate research, and natural obsessions on a variety of nature-related topics. Featuring illustrations by Stacy Hsu and black and white photography, they offer big ideas in a small, giftable, and collectible package.
