Good Old Guys, Alibis and Outright Lies: Humor from the Field and Stream
- Book Review,
by Bob Scammell

The Calgary Herald, Dec. 13, 1996
"...an irreverent, crisply-written and humorous look at hunting and fishing."

Book Description
These 30 stories from the great outdoors range from the slyly satirical to the rip-snorting and prove once and for all that fishers and hunters have only their own word to prove they are sane. The stories chronicle addictions to fishing, fly tying, hunting and even chewing tobacco, initiate readers into such arcane knowledge as how to get lost in the woods, probe the social intricacies of finding a good, old-time barber and even examine court judgments for the legal definition of a "reasonable moose." (Yes, there is one.)

About the Author
Bob Scammell has been writing about the outdoors for more than 20 years in an award-winning weekly outdoors columns in various Alberta newspapers, most recently in the Calgary Herald. He also is a frequent contributor to fishing magazines throughout the West and has been the recipient of two Outdoor Writers of Canada awards.
