Whether he's chasing sailfish in Panama or hunting dove and quail deep in Mexico, Gordon England pursues outdoor sports with a passion for the biggest and best.

This memorable book by one of our finest writers chronicles two passions: one for a dog named "Blue," another for the "guns of a lifetime."

In his brilliant non-fiction, David Adams Richards - first and foremost one of Canada's greatest and best-beloved novelists - has been writing a kind of memoir by other means.

"Nu havde vi hørt far synge om kragen og den hæslige jæger. Straks stormede vi ud i haven, og Peter, som var ældst, gik i gang som instruktør. Da vi var fire, som alle gerne ville agere, bestemte han, at der skulle være tre jægere med ham som anfører, og som den mindste skulle jeg være kragen, der blev skudt." I erindringsværket "Så kom en hæslig jæger" mindes forfatteren Niels Fenger sit liv som jæger helt tilbage fra dengang, han og hans brødre legede, at de gik på jagt, og Niels Fenger selv måtte spille bytte.

"Jeg havde den lykke at vokse op på et sted, hvor der var højt til himlen og langt til horisonten, i et blæsende, nordjysk klima. Der var udsigt og adgang til Limfjordens holme, blinkende laguner og piskende rørskove, til øde, kuplede hededrag med sletter, spredte småplantager, moser og enge. - Her var ingen brug for fantasi. Alt var levende, håndgribelig skønhed, reserveret den, der instinktmæssigt forstod at tip-tå sig frem, smelte sammen med omgivelserne og bruge sine øjne og ører i sikker bevidsthed om, at man selv var iagttaget af vildtet."
