Hunting Starter Kit

2-in-1 Boxset

By: Pat Gatz

Narrated by: Mark Williams

Two books. Everything a new hunter needs, from the licence office to the freezer. Most beginners learn how to take an animal long before anyone teaches them what to do with it afterwards. This set closes both halves of that gap, in six and a half hours.

Book One—The Simple Hunting Guide. From no experience to a first season. Hunter safety courses, licenses and tags. The gear that matters and the gear that does not. Rifles, shotguns and ammunition in plain language. Reading tracks, scat, rubs and beds. Scouting, wind and stand placement. Small game first—rabbit, squirrel, grouse and wild turkey. Shelter, fire, water, and getting yourself un-lost.

Book Two—Eat My Meat. Field dressing small game, step by step. Knives and sharpening. Skinning and gutting rabbit, squirrel and birds. Field hygiene, cooling, and the mistakes that ruin a carcass. Handling hide and fur. Ageing, portioning, wrapping and storage that actually keeps.

Pat Gatz is Algonquin, from Eagle Village First Nation—Kipawa. He took his first small game at six years old and has hunted the bush of Northern Ontario and Quebec for more than thirty years. He writes for people who never had anyone to take them out - no jargon, no assumed experience, and never without the ethics that come with taking an animal.

Both books, one listen, one season's worth of answers. Hunt to live. Live to hunt.

Awesome!.

When it comes to hunting, there is a right way and a wrong way. This nicely narrated audiobook will set you on the right path. When you buy meat, you just don't know what you're getting, chemicals are often added. Wil meat from the land, hunted by you, you always know what you're getting. A great book, a must-read.

This author is clearly an expert.

This guy has so much useful information to pass on, and he does it incredibly well. Really clear and concise. IT really haas everything you'll need to know for the whole process. And the narrator is great too. This is great.

Hunting from scratch!!

hunting is the survival skill of our ancestors, we could not be here right now if it was no hunting to stay alive and survive the crucial circumstances, I really learned a lot and the book gives me the desire to start my hunting journey on the weekends and holidays.

Great for beginners!

I am brand new to the whole hunting scene. But my boyfriend is very into it and I told him I would give it a go. But to and not look like a total fool I downloaded some books to learn some things before we actually went out.

I really liked both of these books it was a nice compilation. Hopefully I can put a lot of the things I’ve learned to use!

All in one!

Fabulous listen. My friend gave me this audiobook because I love learning about hunting. I was blown away by book number one, but Eat Meat was the icing on the cake. I loved that it was written for beginners and very easy to understand. You will learn everything from ethics, patience, and even emotional control. Highly recommend.
