His storytelling is inspired by childhood excursions along the Mississippi River as well as later and numerous encounters with wildlife from Minnesota to Manitoba and beyond. Whether hunting squirrels or turkey or whitetails, whether pursuing walleye on Opening Day or retelling fishing yarns, Schara captures the sensory thrills and restorative solitude of being out in nature. <p/> In this collection, Schara gathers favorite stories from fifty-plus years of celebrating opportunities found in natural environments. He relates childhood lessons on hunting safety and treasured memories of summer days at the creek. He champions preserving midwestern landscapes--to the benefit of hunters and fishers, yes, but more importantly for protecting wild habitats so that the grandchildren of today's outdoor enthusiasts might also experience the woods at daybreak, the pristine trout stream, the prolific prairie. In these "mostly true tales," Schara offers wisdom from the tree stand and tells of others' record-breaking achievements. He invites readers to join him in this life out-of-doors--and maybe to see their own adventures in a new light.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Reflecting the interests and passions of many Minnesotans, Ron's collected columns chronicle days well spent fishing and hunting over four decades, as well as well attempts to conserve Minnesota's natural resources. <br>Dennis Anderson in <em>The Star Tribune</em> <p/> Advance Praise: <br> Ron is a masterful storyteller, with a treasure trove of insightful experiences. The Johnny Carson of the outdoor industry, he has done more to launch up-and-comers' careers than anyone I know in the field. As a friend for over forty years, I always look forward to his next endeavor." <br>Al Lindner, Lindner Media Productions <p/> Through these vignettes from Ron's life we trace the journey from a boy's carefree pursuits to full-grown advocacy and stewardship. A case study in the importance of a childhood spent outdoors. Plus, it's a fun read." <br>Roy Heilman, neveragoosechase.com<br>
