Why read it?
1 author picked Meat Eater as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
If my book brings the perspective of a new hunter and old conservationist, then Meat Eater is the perspective of the old hunter and new conservationist.
The entertaining memoir begins with Rinella’s earliest hunting memories so the reader can follow how hunting informed his connection to land and animals over time and how that made him the activist conservationist he is today.
A great book for the non-hunter to glean some perspective from someone who was born into hunting culture.
From Brant's list on The best books if you are interested in wildlife conservation.
