In my youth, I never thought I could own any property, let alone more than one. When I started my real estate business, I had no idea what to do or where to begin. I didn’t even know there were so many paths to consider. I wish I had someone guided me through the beginning stages of learning how to get into real estate. Years later, I’m happy to provide the shortcuts I wish I had known to get started. Now I’m making the income I never thought I could, and I’m now financially free to work when and how I want. The only regret I’ve ever had is wishing I had started sooner.

Amazing Guide!
I have never been hunting, so learning the basics of hunting was well worth it. I'm sure that when I do hunt, I will know how to do it successfully. Thanks to this listen, I have learned about the preparation needed to hunt, as well as identify animals, understand local hunting laws, and dealing with different weather and terrains. It's a book that's well broken down into an easy-to-follow guide. Highly recommend to beginners wanting to make hunting their new sport!

Great introductory guide
I’ve never actually been hunting before, so I don’t know much about the process. What I will say, however, is that this audiobook breaks it all down into an easy-to-follow guide. It preps you for everything you’ll face out in the wilderness, including laws and regulations, challenging conditions and terrains, and wildlife of all kinds.
I like how it focused on safety and adhering to local laws. I think those are two things that beginners really need to hear. It was also cool to learn how to identify different animals based on their tracks. Though I’m not sure when I’ll put this information to use, it’s definitely interesting to have at my disposal!

Solid hunting foundations
My brother is an avid hunter and even moved to a location where hunting is a part of every day life for most people. He loved this audio suggestion. This excellent title is a sidekick for the beginner all the way through to the master huntsman. I particularly enjoyed the effort the author put into ethics and even ammunition facts that are simply imperative.

I just listened to this book and it's super helpful for people new to hunting. Pat Gatz explains things really well, like how to get a hunting license and what gear to use.
It's perfect if you're just starting and want to learn about big and small game hunting. The survival tips are easy to understand too.
I totally recommend this audiobook for anyone who's new to hunting!

Great Introduction to the Sport of Hunting
This book over-delivers on its aim to instill the knowledge required when hunting the smaller game available to anyone who wishes to explore the beauty of the American wilderness.
From licensing, equipment options, ammo selection, and survival skills, to tracking, scouting, mastering your skills, and dominating your first hunt, this book is a clear and highly effective guide for those looking to get into the sport of hunting.
The Simple Hunting Guide, is great listen. As a father who will soon be introducing his kids to hunting, I highly recommend it!
