Description
Most of my other books are treatises on how to hunt or about field-craft. This is one is slightly different, yet it is still very much a book for the true hunter. It is a book exploring the hunters affinity with Nature. The hunter, the woodsman and the stalker enjoy the privilege of being amongst all of Natures wild charges. They see life in its most raw and understand the pattern of life and death. Indeed they often deal death to sustain life. So what mandate do they have from Nature to permit this? Where does the hunter sit in Natures grand scheme? What is Nature and where does she get her power? Man has searched for answers to these questions for millennia. In 2013 I read, for the first time in my life, the 'Tao Te Ching'. It is a philosophical work written some 2600 years ago by a philosopher and metaphysician called Lao Tzu. I am not a religious man and nor was he. I am fascinated by the power and wonder of Nature and so was he. This work, The Hunter's Way, is my own humble version of this mind-stretching philosophy. It is about accepting the wonder of things that we can never hope to fully understand. It is about the hunters rightful place in this grand order. More than that, it is about the moral code of the true hunter and huntress.
