When Lily Raff McCaulou traded in an indie film production career
in New York for a reporting job in central Oregon, she never
imagined that she'd find herself picking up a gun and learning to
hunt. She'd been raised as a gun-fearing environmentalist and an
animal lover, and though a meat-eater, she'd always abided by the
principle that harming animals is wrong. But Raff McCaulou's
perspective shifted when she began spending weekends fly-fishing
and weekdays interviewing hunters for her articles, realizing that
many of them were more thoughtful about animals and the environment
than she was.
So she embarked upon the project of learning to hunt from square
one. From attending a Hunter Safety course designed for children to
field dressing an elk and serving it for dinner, she explores the
sport of hunting and all it entails, and tackles the big questions
surrounding one of the most misunderstood American practices and
pastimes. Not just a personal memoir, this book also explores the
role of the hunter in the twenty-first century, the tension (at
times artificial) between hunters and environmentalists, and new
models of sustainable and ethical food procurement.
