For many boys and girls, the opening day of the hunting season is very exciting! Tavey is finally old enough to hunt, along with an adult.

Through the larger canvas of the natural world, Tavey truly discovers a lifetime passion, but in an unexpected way.

What People Say

“Despite its title, this is not really a book about hunting. It’s about accepting differences between us. This is a beautiful book of fathers and sons who may not agree but still find their way to mutual respect and love.” – Homer Hickam, author of Rocket Boys/October Sky

 Tavey’s First Hunt is a nostalgic reminder of the gift of conversation. A story about fathers and sons; family, forged outside of bloodlines. It’s about how each human, along with every animal, is but a single part of an exponentially larger whole. – Book reviews by J.V Poore for Goodreads

“A charming story that respects our outdoor heritage and captures the wonder of a boy’s first hunting trip with his father. But Tavey learns a person can respect traditions without being limited by them. In the end, Tavey’s walk in the woods reveals a path, not only for himself, but for generations who follow. —Robert Saunders, Charleston Gazette-Mail “Outdoor Pursuits”
