A collection
North American Game
The animals at the center of a continent's hunting tradition — elk, bear, eagle, and the rest of the wild things people pursue and protect.
Big game and big country. This collection gathers the species that define hunting, fishing, and conservation across North America — elk and bear, eagle and trout, and the predators that hunt many of them. The North American model of conservation, funded since 1937 largely by hunters and anglers through the Pittman-Robertson and Dingell-Johnson excise taxes, has been the engine behind nearly every restoration success story on the continent: the elk now in Pennsylvania, the bald eagle off the endangered species list, wild turkey in every state but Alaska, the wolves of Yellowstone. These animals are worth knowing whether you carry a rifle, a fly rod, or just a curiosity about the country they live in. Each one is illustrated in the same hand, with full notes on habitat, behavior, range, and the conservation history that brought them back.
