Here is a book of authentic adventures in pursuit of Alaskan fish and game. Mike Chihuly is in love with the elements, the animals and the people he has encountered in a lifetime of hunting and fishing. He's also very sensitive about conservation. This memoir goes beyond animals and reveals relationships about Mike's parents, especially his father; wife, Shirley; and the people he encountered through fire and ambulance responses. Mike offers himself in an honest light, with flaws and a tender heart, which is the very reason his book is remarkable.
