Product Description
We hunt for many reasons. Maybe the most cherished thing we get from hunting are the memories. Under Orion is a collection of one hunter's memories made while hunting from the hills of Appalachia where he was born, to the green hills of Africa. All are told in Richard Mann's simple campfire fashion. Maybe Adam Heggenstaller, the Executive Editor of the National Rifle Association's American Hunter magazine explained this book best when he commented, "Under Orion confirms the most treasured things we bring home from the field are measured not in pounds or inches, but instead by moments forever lodged in our memories. Here are one man’s trophies from a lifetime of hunting, richly recounted in stories that stir you to reflect on your own experiences outdoors and encourage you to gather more." Under Orion makes for great bed time reading. You'll put it down, close your eyes, and your own hunting memories will take over.
From the Back Cover

He has a military, law enforcement, firearms instructing, and competitive shooting background, has authored several books, and currently contributes to a variety of periodicals. Richard lives on Shadowland--his shooting range hidden in the West Virginia hills--with the most understanding wife in the world, their three kids, and a very protective Rhodesian ridgeback. This book is a collection of some of his hunting stories. Some are sad, some are happy, some are nostalgic. Most are true--or close enough to true for the campfire. Hopefully they will all touch your hunter's heart.
