Southern Sunrises - Paperback

Tom has walked the woods for game and for the nuorishment of his soul since he was a boy. In this collection of columns Bryant reflects on his lifetime of time in the outdoors to share the lessons one learns on the way to mature adulthood including:

-Concentration of the mind- from the weight of a 100 pound canoe dropped six inches and pinning you fingers on the car boat rack in 15 degree temperature.

-Planning ahead- from the exhilaration and terror of you and some other lost soul stumbling down a 70 degree incline you have never seen before in the dead of night with a conoe on your shoulders towards, and hopefully not into, the Haw River- to go duck hunting.

-Long Range Planning- from meticulous construction of the ultimate duck blind on the downstream end of a long narrow island in the Haw completed a week before a storm surge leave no trace of it.
