To those who may be interested I've authored a few books regarding hunting. You can visit www.anthonypmaurosr.com if there's an interest in learning more. FYI - Jeff H. Johnston, Associate Editor, American Hunter magazine has reviewed one o my books "The New Age Hunter" and has the following to say:
"Anthony P. Mauro is back, hot off another African safari, with wisps of smoke still rising from the mopane logs and the pen in his hand. But his latest work is more than a re-account of a game-laden safari.
The New Age Hunter asks the question that has wrinkled the brow of anti-hunting urbanites since the practice of vegetarianism became en vogue; a question that is imperative hunters answer before the inevitable political battles over the future of hunting come to a head.
Mauro asks why a modern person, who does not depend on procuring his own protein for survival, still chooses to hunt.
He writes, "... it is the spiritual aspect that is the most compelling reason for why we hunt, but it ranks as the least understood by non-hunters. ..."
Using an anthropologist-type study of human evolution, a psychologist's analyzation of the human psyche, and combining his empirical and biological data with a hunter's insight and a writer's gift to weave theory with entertainment, Mauro takes as good a shot at nailing this critical question since the influential words of James Swan.
If you are a hunter intent on preserving your way of life, a conservationist, a student looking for truthful answers, or a non-hunter with a desire to understand the hunter's unwavering mindset, "The New Age Hunter" by Anthony Mauro is a worthy read."
Feel free to email me with any questions. Best regards, Ant
