Mad old colonels who took their trousers off before going elephant hunting, women poachers with terriers sewn into their underskirts, duck shooters chasing their quarry in helicopters - here they all in their vast and until now, long forgotten, eccentricity. Shooting's Strangest Days is a unique collection of stories about the mad, the bad and the truly dangerous to know from more than two hundred years of sporting shooting. Covering everything from delightfully dotty Royals - like George V, who always went shooting with a gun loader deliberately chosen because he looked exactly like the king - to obscure French chamois hunters, South American crocodile stranglers, Russian secret service beaters and suicidal Himalayan goat guides.

An intensely private and shy man, Hoover the person was largely unknown to the American public. In this extensively researched biography devoted to the angling side of Hoover, author Hal Elliott Wert examines the often overlooked life of our thirty-first president. In a presidency plagued by the Depression, in a time when the country was poised between the agrarian society of the past and the advent of a modern professional class, Herbert Hoover faced numerous challenges. A thinker and a doer who shaped the way we live today, Hoover found relief from the stresses of his professional life in his pastime, fishing. Herbert Hoover fished near his hometown of West Branch, Iowa, as a boy and then moved to Oregon, where he fished the Rogue, Willamette, McKenzie, and Columbia rivers. As a young man, he attended Stanford and fished and camped throughout the West during breaks. He fished and spent time in the outdoors throughout his life and especially in his years as president. He founded Cave Man Camp at Bohemian Grove north of San Francisco, a yearly getaway for powerful Republicans, and Camp Rapidan in Virginia while he was in the White House. In addition to freshwater fishing, Hoover enjoyed fishing the salt. On trips to Florida later in his life, he stalked bonefish and fished for permit and the larger species, such as sailfish.

In all of my years fishing, I've recognized that most of bass fishing's intelligentsia tends to focus on the bass and its behaviors to teach the angler how to better catch them. While this is important, too little time is devoted to helping the angler to understand the angler, and his/her responsibilities toward success. Anglers must have a better understanding of the limitations and governing factors of the sport, and of the common sense truths that promote the development of an indestructible confidence needed to execute the demands of fishing. Do you find that confidence in your bass angling skills is erratically elusive? Whether you're a seriously devoted tournament angler or an aspiring novice, every bass angler experiences this universal problem. And there are very specific and justifiable reasons for it. Fishing with Confidence addresses these reasons, and lights the way to more prosperous and confident fishing. Fishing with Confidence goes beyond the over exemplified and often redundant 'tips and techniques, ' and in groundbreaking fashion tells the story of bass fishing straight. Author John Mark Warren uses reasoned and sound fishing principles, his 35 years of insight, the wisdom and truth from professional anglers, and an exposure of a market driven media to create a template that ensures lasting self confidence in every aspiring and passionate bass angler. John has faced the challenges that every serious angler faces. His uncompromising standard of truth and accuracy shines a new light on just what makes good anglers more proficient and confident anglers. So, when you are done looking for manufactured remedies at your local bait shop, try honing your craft with Fishing with Confidence. 'Need to know everything that you need to know about bass fishing in order to return home grinning, and not grouching? Just absorb John Mark Warren's Fishing With Confidence! - Uncle Homer Circle, Award winning writer, published author, and Bass Fishing Ico
