Compass Country (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781468554816)

This memoir is a true adventure story about three young men in their teens that are passionate about deer hunting in the Adirondacks spending much of their leisure time pursuing a dream. In their Quest of the big one, they enter acres of deep woods, Adirondack territory they call "Compass Country," that many men will never see in a lifetime. Despite the extreme hard work, they set up a small camp in the middle of Compass Country spending weekends on a mission living the dream. Unfortunately it takes the pioneers many years of exploration, persistence and hard work before the passion becomes the success they had imagined and is still adventurous thirty six years later. As the Pioneers look behind them unfortunately there is no one following them therefore the tradition will sadly die with them. "Modern technology such as computers and video games have Chastised our children holding them hostage blind to the beauty of the outdoors."
