This book is Gaudette's first but he shows a natural affinity for storytelling honed, without a doubt, by countless nights spent around a campfire with hunting partners. He, likewise, conveys his love for the natural world with unambiguous affection - it isn't sentimental or trite but rather born from genuine respect for the earth's natural beauty.

There are serious moments laced throughout the work, but there are moments of real humor as well and Gaudette's affection for his hunting partners is an abiding theme throughout the entire book. Adventures and Confessions of a Hunter isn't a particularly lengthy work, it doesn't need to be, but is nonetheless packed with a wealth of humanity and descriptive excellence that makes it a volume well worth returning to over and over again. It will attract more than just fellow hunters - anyone interested in personal experiences honestly rendered will enjoy this work.
