Where Adventure Meets Discovery

Where Adventure Meets Discovery is a rollicking fun-filled book of true stories about hunting and about life. The author begins at the beginning remembering his first BB gun, first squirrel hunt, experiencing "the killer instinct" and growing up in rural southern Indiana. As a young man he learns to hunt deer with bow and arrow via the school of hard knocks and recounts experiences to which any hunter can relate. Later he shares exciting adventures hunting boar and axis deer on the islands of Oahu and Molokai in Hawaii with U.S. Navy SEALs and divers. The author learns about God and about life from "watching wild creatures do what they do." He uses humor, faith and warm colloquial Midwest language to paint the scenes and bring you into the adventures. You'll laugh when he thinks he's falling to his death in the pitch black night of the Pali Pass on Oahu. You'll cry when he loses his twin sons to twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. You'll cheer when he finally secures that first whitetail trophy. You'll be challenged to think while the author struggles with ethics. Hunter and non-hunter alike can relate to the adventurer in these stories, and thrill with exhilaration when that adventure leads to the "ultimate discovery."Thomas, Mark is the author of 'Where Adventure Meets Discovery' with ISBN 9781420834123 and ISBN 1420834126.
