The drama, danger, and energy of the hunt are unsurpassed as inspiration for short-story writers, many of whom have been fine hunters themselves.
This collection spans the full range of the 20th century and boasts many prize-winning authors and stories, including Wallace Stegner's ``The Blue-Winged Teal,`` Thomas Mc Guane's ``Sportsmen,`` and Lawrence Sargent Hall's ``The Ledge,`` as well as Ernest Hemingway's ``The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber`` and riveting selections by David Quammen, Rick Bass, and E.
Annie Proulx.
A lighter side of the sport is provided in Irvin S.
Cobb's ``The Plural of Moose Is Mise,`` while T.
Coraghessan Boyle's ``Big Game`` plays wickedly on the Hemingway classic.
