About This Book

The narrative follows four resourceful young hunters who establish a winter camp and pursue hunting, fishing, and outdoor sport while facing accidents, bad weather, and human threats. Snowball fights, an explosion, a burned cabin, and a blizzard force the boys to improvise shelter, build fires, and care for game; they track deer and wild ducks, encounter a tramp and a bear, and engage in chases and confrontations. Episodes alternate lively camp fun and practical problem-solving with a running mystery about arson and an intruder that the boys ultimately uncover and resolve.
