This book has a very easy way of putting [those] things into perspective and presenting the truth about hunting. When we hunt, we have a moral and ethical responsibility to do our best. We must select the right animal. We must be able to place the shot to ensure a quick, humane death. And we must honor them without haste or waste while thanking God for providing us this bounty.
The truth of why we hunt is also described in this book. Ultimately,
On Hunting provides the foundation for an honest conversation about hunting in the modern world.
I hope that you will enjoy
On Hunting as much as I did and apply its principles to your own life and worldview. Surely, all hunters and conservationists will appreciate and enjoy it.
On Hunting will impact us for generations to come.

Without knowing where we came from, it's impossible to understand how we got here. On Hunting not only offers a comprehensive look at the evolution of hunting but also reaffirms the modern hunter's connection to his primordial roots. A great read.

I believe this is the most important study of hunting since the
Meditations on Hunting writings by Jos? Ortega y Gasset.

All true hunters "feel" the truth, but few are able to "articulate" that truth. Now, thankfully, we have On Hunting to be our champion of the wild!

I very much enjoyed this book. It will have a great reception, as it is about all of us (humans), not just hunters.

In the end, a man's worth is not judged by what he knows but by what he has done. Lt. Col. Dave Grossman has done way more for the good of others than he will ever know. His books, all of them, are required reading in my family. His latest book, On Hunting, has now joined that required reading list.

I loved this book! A very intellectual and historical study of why we hunt. Understanding the
why naturally results in improving skills for tactical situations and survival, not to mention making us better hunters!
