So I went to the new Meter Outdoor Cookbook and went to Cola Ancho Jerky.

Now this holds true for both of the things I'm gonna talk about is that this is like an outdoor smoker jerky recipe but I don't have a smoker.

I also didn't have any Ancho chili powder kicking around. But what I did have was Kashmiri chili powder.

But you know, we just finished up a book Spencer about all this stuff.

All different kinds of outdoor cooking methods.

When does that book come out?

Next spring I think, next May.

when we did Outdoor Kids in an Inside World, all through that time, which is a book for parents to read, all through that time we talked about doing a companion book.

when we did Outdoor Kids in an Inside World, all through that time, which is a book for parents to read, all through that time we talked about doing a companion book.

Did you know that in the book, like the book I most recently had come out, which is called Outdoor Kids and the Inside World, I write a lot about how you kids like to spend a lot of time flipping rocks over.

She was getting out ahead of it, planning ahead. When my wife was in labor, my first kid, I passed out and had to have a nurse come resuscitate me.

Many of the questions that I've gotten over the years from people, such as like, how old should my kid be before I allow them to start shooting 22s or getting them started on a BB gun?

Do I think it's damaging if a kid sees a deer die when they're really young? How do you get your kids interested in eating game meat? How do you get kids engaged around gardens, right?

Like how to, in my view, it's how to get your kids radically engaged with nature because a couple of reasons. If you're listening to this, you probably like to hang out outside.

It's a good book, if I say so myself.

It's an argument for and insights into getting your kids, as we put it, radically engaged with nature.

I just finished a book like it's done done now about kids. Like it's called Outdoor Kids Inside World. So it's about raising outdoor kids and in the hunting section, I talk about how you communicate about guns with kids and one of the things that I've just really strived to do is we have never taken the attitude that these are that guns are like these magical things.

When you go read Roosevelt today, you're reading Roosevelt kind of like, like a hobby historian.

When you read A Sand County almanac, you're, you're reading it and finding out you're reading it and being like, holy, this could have been written yesterday.

If you have a PhD, you run the risk of being like a mortician looking at a dead body.

There are those, there are some who can live without wild things and some who cannot.

These essays are the delights and dilemmas of one who cannot.

Which of these is not one of the five tools of wildlife management listed in the 1949 book, A Sand County almanac, axe, cow, water gun?

Which of these is not one of the five tools of wildlife management listed in the 1949 book A Sand County almanac, axe, cow, water, gun?

Axe, cow, water, gun. What would be your guess, Steve?

Cow.

No, that's wrong. Water.

Water is right. Nobody got that right though the time we played.

Which of these is not one of the five tools of wildlife management listed in the 1949 book, a sand County almanac.

Which of these is not one of the five tools of wildlife management in a sand County almanac.

The central thesis of game management is this game can be restored by the creative use of the same tools, which have heretofore destroyed it. Axe, plow, cow, fire and gun.

What year was most of that book written?

it was written in the twenties

I mean, his prose was so elegant. I mean, it was so compelling, and he just wrote about the outdoors in ways that really spoke to me. And in ways that no one had done.

I think the whole stewardship ethic, you know, and of course, in a private land state like Texas, that's very germane to what we do.

Aldo Leopold talks about it in Sand County Almanac, the mountain and the green, green fire, green fire dying in the wool side.

ethical behavior is doing the right thing when no one else is watching, even when doing the wrong thing is legal

I contacted an old associate, Kurt Mein, the world's greatest Leopold authority, a trustee of the Leopold Foundation, a professor of ecology at University of Wisconsin, the author of the definitive Leopold biography.

He has read every quotable word Leopold ever wrote or said.

Aldo was a great man and a deep, deep thinker, but he never said what you keep saying he said, stop it.

Rivers are the gutters down which flow the ruins of continents.

And so he turns to Aldo Leopold. And so he turns to Aldo Leopold. And so he turns to Aldo Leopold. And so he turns to a you've got to think long term. So many Christian ethicists have turned to this.

Aldo Leopold's talking about technology he's talking specifically about hunting technology and he was saying that that you can't improve the well you can't improve the pump without improving the well yeah he's not talking about oil rigs he's talking about water water but meaning if you're going to make it easier and easier and easier to extract more and more and more water you're going to have to figure out a way to make the well better too deeper and better and pure because you will suck that some bitch dry

San County Almanac. He wrote there and that was collected and published after his death.

Leopold's work in a Sand County Almanac is poetry and poetry with an ecological twist that every hunter angler conservationist can resonate with.

I wrote a book and a big part of the book. The book is called American Buffalo and it had kind of like two things that, that made it happen.

Because that came in about 75,000 words.

When I got the audio version of my book and I turned it on, I couldn't, he didn't get a sentence out of his mouth. And I was across the room turning it off. It's that bad.

It's not how it sounds. He doesn't get it. It's not how it sounds.

I would rather have had Alvin and the chipmunks read this book. Then the guy read the book.

Random House has got the audio rights back. And I just spent three days in a studio and I read the whole damn book from start to end. And it's now, it's already available.

American Buffalo and Search of a Lost Icon read by me now and not some hoser.

And I rendered a bunch of it out and made a bunch of basically beef lard because that fat's good.

It's my understanding of how that works.

The animal that I wrote American Buffalo about, I rendered a bunch of...

Over a hundred. No, I think it's probably around 80. Under a hundred. Around 80 total activities to get kids engaged with, involved in, educated about the outdoors, educated about hunting and fishing and wildlife, educated about gardening, preparing foods in the home, celestial navigation, making various weapons. Everything you need to raise a smart, engaged kid who I like to point out has kind of a raw edge to them.

So go wherever you buy books. Call your local friendly bookstore. If you have a local bookstore, that'd be a good idea.

It shot up to number three.

Fun projects, skills, and adventures for outdoor kids.

It's a great book. A lot of it's kind of dangerous.

This is very dangerous because there's machetes and stuff and fires and hatchets and everything in there.

It's everything ranging from like gardening stuff with under understanding how gardening works and plants work, all kinds of foraging stuff, fishing stuff. If they're interested in hunting for their own food, how to get them up to speed on that building their own sorts of, uh, weapons like blow guns and frog gigs from natural materials. Basics on navigation, navigation with the sun, navigation with stars, all laid out and achievable little day projects, even a bunch of stuff about in the home.

when you burn "The MeatEater Guide to Wilderness Skills" and save the day

he actually burned the book. And it worked great. But he said, thankfully, he had already read all the pages.

It was all wet on the rim, but he found dry in the middle and burned the book and saved the day.

I feel like that dude deserves a new book, I think, man.

This is exactly what that book was written for. Exactly what this guy ran into.

You ought to drop a signed copy of the Wilderness Skills and Survival book down there in like a Ziploc bag.

A couple episodes ago, we released an episode called Begging and Pleading Reducks. And that episode announced the release of our latest book title, The MeatEater Guide to Wilderness Skills and Survival, in which I had gone on, in which the podcast episode that is, I had implored you to make the purchase, not only for your own benefit, but because I have a lifelong dream of having one of my titles hit the New York Times Best Seller list.

The MeatEater Guide to Wilderness Skills and Survival debuted as number four on the New York Times Best Seller list.

It's still for sale. It's still a good book, but you did it. Thank you.

The release date on our new book, which is called The Meteor Guide to Wilderness, Skills and Survival, has a December 1 release date.

It is how many pages long? Counting the index, it's 435 pages long.

I view this book as being an antidote to that and resetting Wilderness Skills and Survival to a position where it is very well thought, moderate, highly skilled information sets that are passed along to you in order that you will feel more functional, capable, comfortable in the outdoors.

It is not a book that's meant to be full of crazy cockamamie bullshit. In fact, the original title, working title, was The No Bullshit Guide to Wilderness Skills and Survival.

What we're going to do here is kind of walk through what you'll find in here in order to give people a better sense of what's going on.

Another thing to plug is in our new, in our wilderness skills and survival book, which will be available this December. You can go look at it now online I think. Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can go to Amazon right now and check it out. Gigantic book, humongous book. The meat eater guide to wilderness skills and survival.

Brody and I just turned in a group project. Mostly turned in our Wilderness Skills and Survival book, which early estimates are that it will be around 600 pages.

Yanni's contributions in the book are so good we call them... Yanni bars.

Yanni on avalanche, Yanni on spike camps, Yanni on all manner of things.

I heard a really nice compliment about that book. So directed at you guys was that the book was very entertaining to read and story-like but was equally balanced with good skills and education.

When that book comes out, make no bones about it. I'm going to come and prepare, start saving your money and stuff like that. Because when that book comes out, we got screwed out of the bestseller list with our Fish and Game cookbook.

Yeah, like Arctic Dream. It's like Coming into the Country by John McPhee, like greatest, greatest book for outdoorsman.

In Barry Lopez's Arctic Dreams, he's out hunting, he's out hunting with Eskimo hunters and they're off Alaska and they're hunting walrus. And he says for a while, he goes, they were technically in Russia.

The book that most changed my view on wildlife and kind of ecology and environmentalism is a book by a guy that's very uneasy, almost antagonistic toward hunting named Barry Lopez.

And the reason I think it's helpful, like if you like to hunt, the reason it's a helpful book to read is Lopez in his talk about Eskimo hunters and his talk about wildlife in the Arctic and what's happening in the Arctic, he makes such a compelling case about he doesn't condemn it and he doesn't take cheap shots but he lays out in a really clear way like why he's uneasy with hunting.

What first got me interested in the idea that there was something to think about here is I was reading year many years ago in Barry Lopez's Arctic Dreams and in the epilogue to the book he's hunting walrus with Alaskan natives though he's actually in Russian waters and they're slaughtering walrus on the ice and the smell of blood and gunpowder are still lingering in the air and Lopez doesn't get into it but he alludes to the reconciliation or the need to reconcile Jacob and Esau or this reconciliation that occurs. I remember thinking like what's that?

I love that. But was it?

Yeah, so in there Lopez talks about how anthropologists know the the hunting of Buffalo by cliff jumps and then also caribou by River crossings and then but at that time that was an ethical practice, you know, and so you know, which is interesting because today we would cringe if somebody did something like that.

Some of the bear doesn't make any mistakes.

And this book, there's this book, the 10th Legion by Colonel Tom Kelly about turkeys. And he talks about that same thing.

He always thought when you, when a Tom won't come, it's because he's afraid of getting killed and thinks it's a person.

But then one day he describes watching a Tom. He's watching a bunch of hens and he's watching a Tom cruising along.

And the hens are doing all the shit that he would do to try to call in a Tom. They're doing the calling, they're doing everything.

And he said, the Tom never gave a shit, never lifted its head up.

But then that, I didn't trick them. Well, but then here's a hen standing there and they're like, didn't pick their head up. Mike Chamberlain was saying that their testosterone levels changed daily up and down.

You gotta read the 10th Legion.

In Colonel Tom Kelly's The 10th Legion, he talks about watching them out eating crayfish from underwater.

I was reading 10th Legion. Tom Kelly's book. He talks about... Colonel Tom Kelly. One of the ways that they shot out turkeys is when pot hunters, meat hunters I think he calls them would bait... They'd dig a ditch that was maybe a foot or 18 inches deep. They'd bait it with corn for a while and then on the day they wanted to reap or harvest turkeys... Not reaping. That's where you take a fan and walk up on them with a pistol.

What you are interested in here is not shotgun artistry, but the simple delivery of a charge of shot.

A delivery affected often through a hole the size of a grapefruit. Or through a slit like the crack between two loosely fitting barn doors. You normally only have to deliver it once.

It lets you keep the gun partially presented all the time. It is as comfortable as any. If a turkey approaches from your left, he is under the gun.

And if he comes from directly in front of you, you can ease the gun from your left knee to your right and at the proper time slouch down even lower and let the barrel down until it bears.

If he were at quarter to nine, skill and intelligence would have again trumped over ignorance and superstition. But he ain't.

Colonel Tom Kelly who wrote the greatest turkey hunting book ever called the Tenth Legion talks about them eating mud bugs which talks about them eating crawfish.

And you read in the 10th Legion, he talks about this as well. Colonel Tom Kelly discusses this in the 10th Legion, that a fall hunting strategy... Well, I'm not telling you boys this, I'm telling the listeners. How you're generally hunting turkey, unless you're bushwhacking turkeys, in the spring what you're doing is you're exploiting the fact that they're in their breeding cycle and you are going out and making the sound of a female in order to lure in the male.

Colonel Tom Kelly's book the 10th Legion have you guys ever heard of the 10th Legion? Must read. Yeah, it's like if you haven't read that book. You got to read it. It's about turkey hunters

It's about a turkey hunter. It's a turkey hunter in Alabama who was hunting back when there weren't any turkeys It's just kind of like it's the it's it's one. It's hilarious

He's got observations about turkeys that will surprise you and things. He's watched turkeys do including feeding on crayfish that um He's just like a cute observer of turkeys what the hell's I talking about him for

Kelly talks about that he talks about your roostery shooting No, but he likes like a good clean Calling The turkey in

That's not even Kind of it. There's unpredictable I Could agree with that

He wrote a book called "Hunt High"...

So Duncan wrote these great books, Hunt High and All About Bears, and I was...we were talking on here about how there's no...they were self-published and he didn't make many of them so now they're super expensive, like people sell his books like a thousand bucks.

and then he wrote Hunt High phenomenal books and I'm always yapping about them

there's a copy on Amazon for $1,694.24 or you can get a hardcover for less half as much 50 off

Is that Duncan Gilchrist's off-brand? No, Duncan Gilchrist's best book has an unfortunate title of Hunt High. And I think a lot of people read that and they get to thinking one thing, but he's talking about hunting the high country. Yep. Not hunting high. Yeah.

The late great duncan gilchrist who wrote the book Hunt High among many other classics?

John McPhee's Pulitzer prize winning book of geology, based in range. No, it's called Annals of the Former World.

He says if he was going to, I've said this before, if he was going to sum this book up in one sentence, it would be that the top of Mount Everest is marine limestone.

He also imagines that if you took all of the earth's history and you imagine it as a timeline spanning between fingertip and fingertip. Okay, so this is the earth's history. You can remove human history with one stroke of a nail file.

In John McPhee's Pulitzer Prize winning Annals of the Former World, his Pulitzer Prize winning work on American geology. There's a couple nuggets in there. I'm going to get to the main nugget but I want to share a couple nuggets in there. At one point in that book, he says if I was going to sum this book up in one sentence, it would be that the top of Mount Everest is marine limestone. He also points out that if you imagine the world's history as being a timeline stretching from the tip of your finger to the other tip of your finger with your arms spread out, you would remove human history with one stroke of a nail file. And he also says that he explains how in 80 million years, Japan was the first country in the world to have accreted all of the Aleutian Islands into one big landmass. And that landmass will dock up against Alaska. And what's cool about that is that Alaska formed the same way. It was accreted archipelagos that formed in a big glob of just islands accumulating together. And it docked up against California. And that's what caused the gold that became the California Gold Rush in the Sierra. Because all that stuff that went under the plate bubbled up like that out there. But then this big blob that's Alaska shot up against the California coast and then rode and is riding a transform fault. And so far it's ridden north to where it is now.

The top of Mount Everest, the highest thing in the world in our world, the top of Mount Everest is marine limestone.

If you imagine the earth's history as your arms stretched out...he explains that you could remove the entirety of human history with one stroke of a nail file.

Have you ever read Annals of the Former World?

By John McPhee. It explains all the geography in the U S. They won a Pulitzer prize.

John McPhee has a... Have you ever read Annals of the Former World?

And in this book, there's a couple things. One, he says that if he had to sum up his trilogy in one sentence, it would be that the peak of Mount Everest is marine limestone.

But another point he makes is that if you imagine life on earth, so not just earth like the form, but life on earth.

If you imagine being a man's outstretched arms as life on earth from one fingertip to the other fingertip as a timeline, you could remove human history with one stroke of a nail file.

If I was going to sum this book up in one sentence, it would be that the top of Mount Everest is marine limestone.

He says if you imagine the history of the earth as your arms spread out as wide as you can spread them, he said you could remove all of human history with one stroke of a nail file.

It's the Meteor Cookbook. The follow-up to the Meteor Cookbook.

It is very cheap, very reasonable for a gift to someone to give coffee table book, whatever. If you've got someone out there that's a hunter, wants to be a hunter, whatever. You can buy one of those things and it's not going to make the break.

There's a lot of people that don't realize that we have a 700-page volume one, volume two complete guide to hunting, butchering, and cooking wild game.

New to hunting, veteran hunter, somewhere in between, guaranteed you'll find something interesting to read in both volumes.

Volume one is big game. Volume two is small game. Everything from squirrels on up to cranes.

And it's got a bunch of cooking stuff, sausage making. I mean, big book.

It's a dance book, but it was good. Beautifully illustrated.

we have a ton of information on this very thing and the complete guide to hunting butchering cooking wild game like how to find public land that people don't realize is public

Who is the author of the hunting novel Death in the Long Grass?

Great book.

That was Capstick's first book.

Who is the author of the hunting novel Death in the Long Grass?

You should add that to the MeatEater book club reading list.

The correct answer is Peter Capstick.

That was Capstick's first book before he became a professional hunter in Africa. He worked as a stockbroker on Wall Street.

But as a kid I probably read this book more than any other book. Like every book report I did was on Death in the Long Grass.

But the first portion of that book is possibly the best description of why people hunt that I've ever read.

If we had an internet connection, I'd tell you who did write it, but he told me that that's not who wrote Death in the Tall Grass. No, it's Peter Kapstik.

He's the essential, to me, the essential writer for African hunting and really adventure, at least in Africa, the adventure writing.

Yeah, Death in the Tall Grass. He's the essential, to me, the essential writer for African hunting and really adventure, at least in Africa, the adventure writing. You can name how many books he's written that are seminal to that.

And so before I went to Africa to go hunting, the first, I saved Robert Ruark's books, Death in the Tall Grass and Father and Son and all those books until I was going to Africa to read on the plane.

Jack Olson's classic 1969 book, Night of the Grizzlies, which details the fatal maulings of two young women in Glacier National Park, was originally a three part article for what popular magazine?

Olson's painstakingly researched account of the August 1967 killings of Julie Helgeson and Michelle Koons in two separate areas of the park stands as the definitive account of this tragedy, so much so that the event itself is most often referred to by the title of his book.

The Grizzly, Enemy of Man? Must he be exterminated? Question mark.

It is hard to accept the fact that the zoo image is not the real image and that the captive bear conceals his hatred of man only because he has no choice. We hope the menacing grizzly shown on this cover will help reinforce Olson's conclusion that man and bear cannot peacefully coexist in the wild.

I didn't know that was his conclusion.

Did you ever read that book? Night of the Grizzlies?

Night of the Grizzlies. Yeah, Night of the Grizzlies. Do you remember the story well enough to tell the story?

two bears after there not having been any bear attacks for years on the same night in very different, widely separated parts of the park, uh, killed a camper. Each bear killed a camper.

Because there's that famous occurrence that was written about in the book. I think it was Jack.

It was the same guy that wrote the Give a Boy a Gun, I think, about Dallas.

Night of the Grizzlies. There was one night, just a freak occurrence. One night, different ends of the park.

Two women got killed in one night by grizzlies. Totally different grizzlies, different parts of the park.

And it was what set in motion the idea that menstruating women are more likely to be attacked by bears.

one of my favorite books of all time um is called the Son of the Morning Star and it gets in it's about the events that played out and it's about the events that played out around the battle of the little bighorn when custer was killed uh and he does a similar thing with what people put in what they leave out and there's this great anecdote early in the book where there's a physician who just keeps meticulous notes of what he saw that day this is this is the people that fought that the first soldiers that come across the battlefield and what he saw and who did what what did what not in his journal is an observation by another person about something the physician did which he went into a teepee and tried to remove the moccasin of a warrior who had been killed days before it's very hot and the warrior's skin slipped and he was trying to so he's trying to loot a body and then he gets physically ill and the writer points out that did not make the journal yes of the physician who is otherwise quite meticulous

and then you turn me on to Son of the Morning Star

you read those books and you just imagine the hard scrabble life the difficulty those people face the horrors the hardships it's just it's amazing how that wasn't that long ago

Evan S. Connell's book, Son of the Morning Star, where he describes, there's this doctor who is among the party that finds Custer's command after it's slaughtered.

If you do yourself a favor and read Son of the Morning Star, he talks about what happened at the Battle of Little Bighorn and compared to the cavalry soldiers, the Euro-American, like the white cavalry soldiers, just in the diet they were on when they came up against these people who lived off bison meat, they were astounded, like the Sioux, the Oglala and Onkapapa Sioux in the Northern Cheyenne, he describes those people going through the cavalry soldiers like a wolf through sheep.

Have you ever read Osborne Russell's Journal of a Trapper

he describes Wolverines as common

Osborne Russell's Journal Journal of a Trapper whatever the hell Osborne Russell's Journal which is a lot of times there's a lot to eat and a lot of times there ain't shit to eat

Have you ever read Osborne Russell's Journal of a Trapper?

It's interesting because there's one spot in that book he talks about when they were living off bison, they got where they couldn't find any and decided to go winter way up high in the mountains. Yeah. So they could hunt bighorns.

there's a book Land, a Feast, and Famine it was about in the 1930s living off land in Canada it's like sometimes you can't there's so much you can't even process at all right and a lot of times you're screwed

I was just reading this book, uh land of feast and famine which is about fur trappers in the You know, they kind of were flirting with the edge of the arctic and the boreal forest in uh northwest territories point being this is in the 19. This is in the early 1900s

These guys would trade in they would trade in rump fat So when you like if you kill a summer deer you've seen this mark no doubt where you skin it along the rump You got these big flat hunks of fat They would square those pieces up And use it as a currency it was of such value to them to slice and eat it and that's tallow but like you don't when we were kids we would

the best part of that book, I don't really the only detail that book I remember is how vital it was For the people he hung out with to kill a bear In the fall for lard That it was just of paramount importance To stock up on lard

So there's a book I'm reading right now called The Land of Feast and Famine and it's about uh fur trappers who were working around great slave lake in the i think in the 30s the 20s late 20s and uh man for their like because these are guys that had are traveling by canoe and they have to carry their sled dogs with them in the canoe because they're traveling into the trapping grounds and then when everything freezes up they make sleds and the dogs pull the sleds so these spend most their time in the summertime fishing white fish with nets to keep you know the dogs fed every night and then when it starts to freeze up in the winter when they know they can keep fish frozen then they just net white fish in order to feed the dogs throughout the winter in order to feed themselves throughout the winter and also to use some for trap and bait and these guys will go in this book they talk about periods where they're going literally months eating nothing but white fish cooked on a spit over a fire and the intense cravings that you would get living that lifestyle but he would say that the thing you could get over like steffenson talks about this too is like you can get over salt like our taste for salt is an acquired taste and you say when you go months and months on those salt you lose that feeling of wishing you had salt on your meat and when steffenson would travel into the village like eskimo villages they would just make sure to put because they were always worried about everyone eating their food and they would put extra salt on their food because they know that the people who didn't use salt would never be able to eat even moderately salted food and it was a way to make your food unpalatable to people is to put a little bit of salt on it like it's that level of acquired but this guy that was living for months on just white fish their cravings would be for red meat and like that would be the thing that they wish they had and would wait and wait for was to get caribou because it would offset like how off you felt just eat nothing but white fish

So there's a book I'm reading right now called The Land of Feast and Famine and it's about Fur trappers who were working around great slave Lake in the I think in the 30s the 20s late 20s and man for their like cuz these are guys that had

And they had to carry their sled dogs with them in the canoe because they're traveling into the trapping grounds and then when everything freezes up They make sleds and the dogs pull the sleds. So these spend most their time in the summertime fishing whitefish with nets

To keep you know, the dogs fed every night and then when it starts to freeze up in the winter I know they can keep fish frozen Then they just net whitefish and over the summer they can go back to the lake and catch some more

net whitefish in order to feed the dogs Throughout the winter in order to feed themselves throughout the winter and also to use some for trap and bait and these guys Will go in this book. They talk about periods where they're going literally months eating nothing but

white fish cooked on a spit over a fire and The intense cravings That you would get living that lifestyle But he would say that the thing you could get over like Stephenson talks about this too is like you can get over salt

What are the full names of Billy Coleman's two hounds in the book Where the Red Fern Grows?

Yeah, Where the Red Fern Grows is a wonderful children's book by Wilson Rawls.

In the book, a young Billy Coleman buys two red bone hounds and teaches them to tree coons.

They become coon catching legends in the Ozark mountains.

Over 7 million copies of the book have been sold by now.

Okay. Now, I'm too much of an emotional toll. Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I actually just started reading between, no, Where the Red Fern Grows.

Okay. Again, in preparation for hound hunting season. Crying already.

I don't know, it was influenced. It influenced me just kind of culturally. I can't say that like I read "Where the Red Fern Grows" and wanted to start doing, you know, wanting to start coon hunting, but you know, so that book was took place in Northeast Oklahoma.

You could describe "Where the Red Fern Grows" as perhaps a touch point. Yeah. In your journey. For sure.
