Take a Good Look Around by James C Wofford

Take a Good Look Around by James C. Wofford, is a book about life in the outdoors. Readers who are used to his books on training horses will find a new side of the author, a side that has rarely surfaced until the publication of this, his latest work. The book is based on the author's experiences as a lifelong trainer of horses and as an avid hunter and fisherman. It includes descriptions of the Olympics, accounts of hair-raising experiences in Alaska, and stories of hunting all over the country . . . all told from the author's humorous point of view. Horse lovers will find a great deal in this book to interest them, and lovers of the outdoors will find Wofford's accounts of fishing and hunting amusing, interesting, and often poignant.
