Girl Hunter: Revolutionizing The Way We Eat, One Hunt At A Time (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
I was expecting a bit more social commentary than this book delivered. I enjoyed the authors enthusiasm, appreciation and awe of nature. I thought many sections contained wonderfully moving descriptions of people, landscapes, meals and weaponry. But I feel like the experiences described were often elitist in the inability of your average consumer to team up with experienced and genuine professional hunters. Most consumers have neither the time, money, resources or knowledge to attempt even one of these adventures. I had hoped for a more far reaching message of thoughtfulness and change at our dinner tables. I kind of want to learn how to hunt now. Seriously. If I said that to my 10 year old self, I would have thought I was crazy. But I can totally understand the empowerment of hunting your own food -- of knowing and acknowledging where it came from, and that it died so you could live. Also, some of the recipes sound amazing. Having them at the end of each chapter really tied up the anecdote nicely.
