<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Golden Years, Golden Hours is an outdoor writer's musings and stories on his passions for fly-fishing, upland hunting and bird dogs. The author also reflects on the inevitability of aging, as he reflects on a full life and his continuing enthusiasm for maintaining an active outdoor lifestyle.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong><em>Golden Years, Golden Hours</em></strong> is Paul Vang's second book, following <em>Sweeter than Candy: a Hunter's Journal</em>, writing about his passion for the outdoors, especially fly-fishing, upland bird hunting, and Labrador retrievers.</p><p>In this new book, the author takes the reader through the seasons of the year, some of the many places where he has cast a fly or lure for trout, salmon, bass and muskies, and some of the people he's met along the way. He also shares his treasured memories of many hunting outings with a beloved Labrador retriever and the inevitable sorrow of saying farewell.</p><p>The author also muses on the process of aging, relishing that he's able to continue an active outdoor lifestyle, while also recognizing, without being maudlin about it, that he has a lot more seasons behind him than ahead of him, even if he doesn't think he's ready to be a Senior Citizen.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><strong>Praise for <em>Sweeter than Candy--a Hunter's Journal</em></strong></p><p>"His book reveals that he cannot live without dogs; probably would not remain a hunter without dogs...He suffers through the comings and goings of his precious canines, tearful in their final days, yet joyful with the prospects of their replacements. He wants a dog to the end" <strong>Ted Upgren</strong>, columnist, <strong><em>Dakota Country</em></strong> magazine.</p><p> </p><p>"The stories in "Sweeter than Candy" also describe modern hunting in the West better than anything I've read recently. <strong>Jeremiah Wood, The Outdoor Sporting Library.</strong></p><p> </p><p>Paul Vang has spent decades fly-fishing Montana's rivers, hunting the state's mountains and prairies, and wandering the spectacular landscape under the Big Sky in deep gratitude for the life he has led. <em>Golden Years, Golden Hours</em> showcase insightful stories of Paul's field and stream experiences over the years, accompanied by his faithful Labrador Flicka, Vang's latest book shares some of the special places that have touched him with significance while also inspiring his gifted skills as a seasoned outdoor writer.</p><p><strong>Jerry Kustich</strong>, writer, author and bamboo rod builder. Author of <em>Holy Water: Fly-fishing Reveries & Remembrances</em>, <em>Around the Next Bend: a Fly Angler's Journey</em>, and others.</p><p> </p><p><em>Golden Years, Golden Hours</em> begs to be read slowly and savored--perhaps just a story a day if you have the will power. Paul Vang has captured the essence of the outdoor life, crafting essays that blend history, geography, biology, politics and nostalgia with practical fishing and hunting tips and trivia; a subtle but keen sense of humor and a gentle delivery.</p><p><strong>Alan Liere</strong>, humorist, outdoor columnist, and author of <em>Dancin' with Shirley</em>, <em>Fish Tales</em>, and others.</p><br>
