RE: thinking about writing a book.
If it's something you want to do, then go for it and have fun with it. In my opinion, there are a bunch of how to books on the market and too few that share stories of days afield roving and hunting as well as the tall tales told when the old men and young alike, are sitting around a warm fire in camp, each an adventure unto themselves. You write something like that and I'm an owner.
Make em sharp and shoot em straight, or leave em home.
