Some are seeking sport and companionship; others are stocking their larders for winter; many are conservationists who regard hunting as the most humane way of reducing overpopulated deer herds. They all face the increasing activism of animal rights advocates who are opposed to hunting in principle and who frequently picket and harass hunters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis controversial subject is explored in depth by Mike Sajna, the outdoors columnist for \u003ci\u003ePittsburgh Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e and a twenty-year veteran of Pennsylvania's \"pumpkin army,\" the orange-clad throng that invades the woods every season. To explain the ethos and traditions of hunting he takes the reader to a typical deer camp in Warren County, in the rugged terrain of the Allegheny High Plateau. Starting with the trek north from their homes around Pittsburgh, he captures the sights and sounds, thoughts and feelings of three generations of hunters. With humor, affection, and insight he recounts the hunting lore, the camaraderie, the physical testing that make deer camp a unique experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mike Sajna\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/07\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.06w x 0.58d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822954361\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMike Sajna is the outdoors writer for the \u003ci\u003ePittsburgh Post-Gazette\u003c\/i\u003e, and has contributed numerous articles to regional and national magazines including \u003ci\u003ePennsylvania Angler and Boater, Pennsylvania Game News \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Fly Rod and Reel\u003c\/i\u003e.
