Produktbeschreibung
Reading Hunting the Way it Was is like lingering around a campfire 50 miles deep in the Snag River country, or at Wolf Lake, and hearing the fascinating and entertaining stories told by Bud and LeNora about hunting in Alaska's bygone era. It is the true tales about one of Alaska's best fair-chase guides, of horse-wranglers and assistant guides, and of pilots who flew clients in their fragile Super Cubs to the frozen arctic for polar bear and to the windy Alaska Peninsula for the big browns -- and all the other big game Alaska had to offer brave hunters. Hunting, the Way it Was, is more than an Alaskan big game guide's story -- it's LeNora Conkle's biography as well. She was there -- This is her story, and Bud's. These are not the flowered up narratives of a professional journalist, but the true tales of two amazing Alaskans and what they did for a living. This is the story of hunting in Alaska, the way it was, but will never be again.

Autorenporträt
At 89, LeNora Conkle still does 30 minutes of aerobic exercises every morning and walks at least a mile each afternoon. She corresponds with many of their hunters and other Alaska guides and visits others each year. She's active in developing guaranteed access rights for Alaskans across national park lands, active in the local Republican party, and has served as a delegate to the Alaska Outdoor Council. She has been an active member of Slana Alaskans Unit for many years. There are always friends, family, and strangers dropping in to visit and listen to her stories over a piece of homemade rhubarb or blueberry pie. She's written five books, spends her winters visiting family and friends in Alaska and all over the Lower 48, and has toured Israel, South Africa, and the Grand Cayman Islands! LeNora says "There's too much to do to sit around and get old."
