from the Foreword by Don Thomas: Like all of the few \'outdoor\' books that truly deserve to endure, A Man Made of Elk is, well...different.
This book\'s title goes beyond metaphor; the guy is Made of elk..
I know deer hunters, bear hunters, and sheep hunters, but I don\'t know anyone else who identifies as completely with one species of game as Dave Petersen identifies with elk.
A former Marine pilot and current backwoods intellectual, idealist, iconoclast, and, yes, hunter, Dave Petersen defies categorization as adroitly as his terrific prose....
That\'s logical enough, for the same can be said of its author.
