The Adventures of a Bow Hunter

There’s much more to be gained than just an animal, on a hunt. Do you know how to find it? With a lifetime of bowhunting in his back pocket, author Hollis Crocker has a thing or two to say about what he’s picked up along the way. Hint: it’s not just getting a trophy animal (though he has those, too). Instead, it’s the multitude of memories he’s made in the hunts he’s been a part of. From local, small groups to expeditions in western states and even some close calls in Alaska, Hollis has experienced more in his hunts than he ever imagined: most of those wonderful memories centering around the people and the places that made the hunts worthwhile. In his memoir, Hollis describes a handful of the dozens of hunts he’s been part of, focusing on some moments that prove he can have a great hunt without taking an animal down. As Hollis says, “There is a lot more to be gained from hunting besides the animal. Enjoy the adventure-and if you are successful, just count that as a bonus.” Perfect for other hunting enthusiasts and outdoorsmen, The Adventures of a Bow Hunter is a riveting read that makes the reader think about the most important things in life, and how to leverage hobbies to build communities, memories, and connections rather than focusing only on the prize to be won.
