MY SPIRIT MOOSE --The Place of the Hunter in the Nature of Things Should hunting be encouraged or discouraged? Does growing urbanization and our subsequent loss of contact with the natural world negatively affect our health, happiness and behaviour? Is it possible that initiating youth to hunting might alleviate some of society's ills? Combining his personal experiences and stories, along with his research, Gibbins says yes to these questions, and with the style of a natural-born storyteller treats the reader to his reasons why. Life is, in its very essence and character, a terrible mystery the whole business of living by killing and eating. But it is a childish attitude to say no to life with all its pain, to say that this is something that should not have been. -Joseph Campbell Pre-eminent, Professor, Writer and Scholar.
