Synopsis

Malgré son incapacité présumée à profiter d'une relation significative avec Mère Nature, Sam Venable est, en effet, un amateur de plein air. Il est à la maison dans les ruisseaux de truite et les canards, les bateaux de bar et les stands de cerfs. Il a voyagé de l'Alaska aux Bahamas, mais il est plus à l'aise dans les champs et les forêts de son Tennessee oriental. Cette collection de certaines de ses meilleures colonnes d'extérieur de Knoxville News-Sentinel comprend des histoires dans le style unique de Sam sur la pêche, la chasse et simplement profiter du plein air.
