One of the best I have read lately

It's been a long time since a book brought tears of laughter to my eyes but Bill's book did just that. He is an example of all of us, if we would be honest enough to admit it that is.
When I read about his bowhunting in bedroom slippers it really hit home, I made it to the driveway once wearing mine.
I would recommend this book to anyone who needs a laugh, but be prepared to read it once you begin you will not want to put it down. The only sad part about my experience was when the book came to an end; I sure hope Bill has another in the works.

Just hilarious

I have been reading Bill Heavey's column in Field and Stream for years, and he has never failed to entertain me. His book has not disappointed me, it is packed with the same brand of tongue-in-cheek humor. If you are an outdoorsman, you willl definately relate to Heavey's soul baring escapades. I highly recommend this book

something you can relate to

Stumbled across this after reading one Bill's columns in Field & Stream & having a friend tell me he had a book. Have been reading a story or two each day...makes a great bathroom book. My favorite is the one I read yesterday about Bill taking his preschool age daughter "hunting" (helping him scout for deer sign) and then coming home & watching big buck videos together. Kind of reminded me of myself when I was little. All in all it's a great book for anyone who loves the outdoor lifestyle.

Fantastic book

A great book. Very well written. I teach journalism and English and use examples from this book often. Poetic, poignant, and just plain fun.

reviews: page 1, 2

For nearly a decade, Bill Heavey, an outdoorsman marooned in suburbia, has written the ?Sportsman?s Life? column on the back page of Field & Stream, where he does for hunting and fishing what David Feherty does for golf and Lewis Grizzard did for the South. His work is adored by readers?one proclaims him ?the greatest sportswriter who has ever walked the planet,? and another recently wrote in to nominate him for president of the United States in 2008?and his peers have recognized his work with two prestigious National Magazine Award nominations. If You Didn?t Bring Jerky, What Did I Just Eat? is the first collection of Heavey?s sidesplitting observations on life as a hardcore (but often hapless) outdoorsman. Whether he?s hunting cougars in the southwest desert, scheming to make his five-year-old daughter fall in love with fishing, or chronicling his father?s slow decline through the lens of the numerous dogs he?s owned over seventy-five years, Heavey is a master at blending humor and pathos?and wide-ranging outdoor enthusiasms that run the gamut from elite to ordinary?into a poignant and potent cocktail. Funny, warmhearted, and supremely entertaining, this book is an uproarious addition to the literature of the outdoors.
