Have you ever leaped out of bed, awakened by the clamor of migrating Canada geese over your roof, then found yourself unable to return to sleep due to excitement? Does the deafening roar of a squadron of golden eyes knifing above a slough mesmerize you? How about the sight of a long-tailed rooster pheasant gliding into a patch of CRP ground at sunset? Does that bring an adrenaline rush? And even if for the thousandth time, does the unmistakable "thunk" of a walleye or bass as it slurps up your jig snap your every nerve ending on alert? And if, when such sensations flood your being, you cannot help but look heavenward and exclaim, ""Thank you, Lord, for these awesome gifts you've lavished upon me,"" then maybe, just maybe, this book will strike a chord deep in your soul and elicit your own song of praise.
