    Always Take Your Rifle

    About this ebook

    Always Take Your Rifle is a collection of short articles on hunting and fishing drawn from the author's adventures (or, more often, misadventures) in the outdoors. From the poignant "Living and Dying in Four Wheel Drive" to the comical "Why do I Always get a Defective One?", the stories span a twenty-five year history of his days afield. Scattered throughout the book are some of the author's favorite wild game recipes, which you are sure to love as much as he does.

    Previously published as "A Life Spent Afield", this book has been completely re-edited and updated to bring some of the stories up to date with the author's current experiences afield. Most of the stories in the book have been expanded from their original versions, and the recipes are all-new to the book.

    Sean Jeffries

    Sean Jeffries is a life-long hunter who has a passion for sharing his experiences afield with others. He has kept detailed journals of every hunt that he has undertaken since 2000, and is the owner and operator of the Wingshooters.net website. His books include "Eight Days in Africa", "Always Take Your Rifle", and a Christian Living piece entitled "Deer Hunter's Devotional", which ties Biblical passages in with the outdoors. "Deer Hunter's Devotional" is the first piece in the "Hunting For the Heart of God" collection, which will later include a novel and a book of church-related essays. Sean lives in Clover, SC with his wife Micki, their two dogs, and their newborn son Paul.
