About the Book

Have you ever put your dad's saddle on an innertube and floated down a river to fish or hunt ducks? Have you ever stuffed weeds and branches in your pockets while hunting to make yourself blend into the environment? This book covers these and many other adventures of Morg and his soiled cousin as they grow up hunting, fishing, and camping in rural Idaho. If you haven't done any of these things but would like to know what it would feel like, then immerse yourself in these pages for a very humorous read.
