About This Book

A group of young outdoorsmen form a gun club and undertake winter camps and hunting excursions that blend sport with lessons in survival. They face snowstorms, blizzards, and encounters with tramps and wild animals—wolves, bears, pine martens, wolverines, and a moose—while learning tracking, shelter-building, and other practical skills. Episodes range from skating and pike spearing to night watches and forced relocations of camp, with an experienced older hunter offering instruction and guidance. Adventures of rescue, confrontation, and resourcefulness lead to a final large-scale hunt and the party's eventual return from the outing.
