Gr 5—8—Each volume in this comprehensive series includes information on hunter education and responsibility and suggests ideas such as a pre-planning checklist before the day of the event. The books also relate strategies for hunting specific game. For example, Canino provides tips and a photograph to explain how to close someone needs to be to shoot a wild turkey with a shotgun versus with a bow and arrow. Chapters describing what happens after the hunt include facts about taxidermy. Even though a few pages are dense with text, others are broken up with spectacular color photographs, some of which are more successful than others at elucidating the text. Men, women, and children appear in them. Varmint Hunting, which discusses animals such as raccoon and opossum, could be useful to those living in more suburban areas, where these animals are considered pests. These titles will work well in libraries that have had success with the "Wild Outdoors" (Capstone, 2010) or "Open Season" (PowerKids, 2010) series.
These overviews emphasize the process of hunting successfully, responsibly, and lawfully. It's categorized as a satisfying sport that provides many benefits both to participants and to society (there's no discussion of its cons). Dense texts examine the target animal population, preparation, details of the hunt itself, and the "harvesting" of meat. Vivid photos of hunters and their equipment accompany the texts. Reading list. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Hunting: Pursuing Wild Game titles: Wing Shooting, Turkey Hunting, Big Game Hunting, Small Game Hunting, Varmint Hunting, and Waterfowl.
