The book Proud Hunters Proud Yoopers describes the unique culture of the UP and its residents. The book tells how many UP residents came to our country and to this remote location from eastern Europe. The author talks about the timber industry and its importance to developing the UP and supplying jobs to its residents. The book also talks about challenges to retain the UP culture because young Yoopers leave, going to other areas of the country as they search for better jobs and careers.
For the hardcore hunter, there are stories about whether we should use bait for deer, how we will live with wolves, how we track wounded deer, which deer we should shoot, and how we control buck fever. There are chapters about ruff grouse, sharptails, geese, ducks, and those frequently howling UP coyotes.
For youngers, there are tales of pursuing frogs and chipmunks, as the training ground for bigger game to follow. And there are stories about favorite guns, bows, arrows, and a very special three-legged bird dog.
There are also stories about four generations of one family hunting together out of the same deer camp and all four hunters getting a deer. There is also an emotional story of a 95-year old hunter wanting to kill one more buck before he moves on to the final hunting ground.
Proud Hunters Proud Yoopers has three chapters about Michigan's great black bears and the excitement they can give a hunter, especially at point-blank range.
