Publisher's Summary

This lyrical account of a beloved time and place celebrates a father-son relationship. In Cogan’s Woods, Ron Ellis fondly recalls annual August hunting trips with his father: heading toward the great forests of Kentucky in the passenger seat of the family Mercury, exploring the foggy woods and hills above the Ohio River. While they searched for game, Ellis’ father imparted his wisdom to his son, passing on a legacy of appreciation for the natural world. This lyrical account of a beloved time and place celebrates a father-son relationship nurtured by a landscape that shapes the men and draws them back year after year.

Like I was there.

This book was wonderful. The author's style really takes you there, hunting in 1960s Kentucky. I have found many good hunting books on audible and this is one of my favorites. Ray Childs is also one of my favorite narrators. If you enjoyed his narration, check out his other narrated hunting book by Gene Hill.

Hope story was as good as everyone said?

What do you think your next listen will be?

A source where I can purchase and OWN the MP3 file for use on all of my equipment, at any time and without streaming data. Purchase locks you into their apps and online purchase!!!!Will not purchase from the again.

What didn’t you like about Ray Childs’s performance?
