If you: :are looking for something to. read
concerning, the outdoors, you're m `luck.
Canadian outdoor writers are known
thrpughotitt the world and their best wok s
.are easily available to you. awards are
presented each year to the authors of the
best works and the competition for these
awards ensures that the quality of the
4100.1.i4sion$ keeps Koine tilt.
'um Kortright Award is probably the
most prestigtqus of all the awards
presented to outdoor writers •in- Canada.
This year at the. Sportsman's Show in
Toronto, this award in the hook division
was presented to Jerome J. Knap for his,
excellent book, "The Complete Hunter's
Alihaita ,'1 l reap, 'es in Stoney Creek and
'14 a trained wildlife biologist turned writer.
Apart from being the Canadian editor for •
Field and; Stream as well as a regular
contributor to a dozen or so major outdoor
magazines, he is the author of over,
fourteen books about the great life. "The
Family :Camping;114400o ok." "Where To
Hunt' and Fish in North America," . and;
"The Complete Outdoorsman's Handbook'
are just a few of his other, accomplishments:
Knap also knows what he writes about.
He has devoted a lifetime to hunting,
fishing, camping and photography and has.
travelled extensively in Canada. (including
the Arctic),. U.S., Mexico, and; Africa in
pursuit of these passions. "'The Complete
Hunter's Almanac" should be a number
one priority for every outdoorsman's
bookshelf: •
Greg Clark is probably well remembered.
by most Canadians for, his witty and
informative articles, Since he was such an'.
avid ou:tdoorsman and especialy a fisher- For those naturalists that enjoy doing

growth to provide birds, and animals with

etllies are only a few of the topics regularly
.covered in, this publication. Out of Doors is
a magazine that; should be oo eberYUne's
•subscription list:
The third award 1 will, .deal with here :is.
,trot strictly: a writing Ward, although it was
won by an author. Andy Russell, a noted.
author, photographer. guide. hunter and
conservationtstwas presented on March 23
with the Winchester Canada Outdoor„sman
of the Year Award, Russell has been
writing since 1945 and besides having.
articles appear in many national magazines
I he has also authoredseven books. His best
known work is "'Grizzly Countrr which is
also his first. He even made a film about
grizzlies which took over two years and has.
been shown throughout North America.
Russell has ant impressive list of awardi.
which he has won. These include two
Honorary Doctorates of Law, the Julian. T.
Crandell ' Award. for Conservation. The
Prgvincial Achievement Award, two Best
Non-fiction Book of the Year Awards (for
;'Horns in the High Country" and
"Adventures with Wild Animals), and
Outstanding Individual Contribution to,
Conservation Award. With an impressive.
lig of credentials like this, itcould be.
easily said theAcedy Russell is on of the
best authors in Canada.
This is only a: short, list of awardwinners,
and I could: go on and on, but it gives you
some ideaof what you can get without.
buying imports. Your local bookstore or
library can help you order these books, and
I .can guarantee they'll be a welcome
addition to your library. .
