Endless October and Endless October Season 2
|
For a traveling bird
hunter, October is heaven on Earth. It's the author's favorite month. He is a
story-teller, dog trainer, wingshooter, and wandering bird dog man.
Every fall, he turns his truck north and west to match wits with grouse,
pheasant, quail, and Chukar. He takes us through the years and the
dogs. He tells the stories of coveys flushing, roosters cackling, quail
running, shotguns, family, and even one unlucky yard chicken. He will
take you west to Montana, Idaho, and Arizona, north to Michigan,
Wisconsin, and Minnesota, and south to Georgia. You can feel the wind,
hear the exploding flush, smell the prairie, see the sunset, and taste
sweet victory in the win. The journey isn't without a few bumps in the
road, as Randy learns as much from his dogs as they do from him. From
season to season, puppies grow up, dogs hit their prime, and old dogs
die, but through it all, the yearning and the restlessness aren't
satisfied until that glorious month of October.
Season 2 in the life of a
traveling bird hunter. Randy brings us more exciting stories of hunting
across the country with his bird dogs. One dog gets lost in the desert
of New Mexico, and a frantic search goes on for more than a week. One
old campaigner hunts the mountains of southern Arizona like he's a
bullet-proof three year old again -- right to the point of a thirty foot
fall off a rock face. One old girl proves intelligence and desire can
make up for lost youth. All these stories, and more, will get your heart
pumping, your head nodding in agreement, and may even wet your eyes
occasionally. Randy's goal is to make it to heaven in a cloud of dust,
sliding to a halt, and exclaiming, "Wow! What a ride! Thank you, Jesus!"
This book, the second one, so far, shows that he is a little farther
down that road, and even more excited than ever!
