Pros & Cons
Pros
The old ways & woodsmanship is a collection of stories about traditional archery, hunting, and woodcraft. This book is a read for every bow hunter.
Clay hayes is defintely someone grown up in a natural environment. Hays has very realistic and humble grasp on what pulls at a man and leads him outdoors.
It was delivered to my mailbox at noon today. Great book. Ordered to add to my tb personal library for my sons. Anyways good book.
The book is short, however, it is well written and one you're likely to finish in one sitting. This book is no exception.
Cons
I was quite disapointed in this (short) collection of stories. No real instruction or perspective to traditional shooting.
