WHETHER YOUR INTEREST lies with the Eastern Longhunter or the Western Mountain Man you will find much information which should prove useful to you. If you are a "pilgrim," then it is our hope that this book will save you much time and effort in gaining the knowledge and skills of the game. If you are a "hivernant," it is our hope that you will gain much additional information which will add to your enjoyment.

But most of all, it is our wish that each one who reads this book will become more deeply committed and involved in what many have come to think of as "A Way of Life."
