18 Great Outdoor stories.

Everyone loves a story. But as outdoorsmen, we appreciate a good one more than most.

We'll let you get away with the yarn about the trout you took into the backing—even though the fish gains a pound with every retelling. We'll still act surprised that the buck you'd been chasing for ages suddenly appeared in the last minute of the last day—even though we already know the ending. We'll happily listen, and as soon you're finished, we'll tell one of our own.

A wonderful thing about hunting and fishing is how, if you spend enough time in the wild, stories will find you. We keep them, share them, and savor them when we can't be in the field. This month, between seasons, is one of those times. So we asked our best writers and wildlife photographers for the tales that they tell when they're sitting by the fire with other outdoorsmen. Most were inspired by a list of one word themes we provided them, because the best hunts and most memorable fish teach us something about who we are and how to live life. Other stories included show the small moments that capture the friendships, humor, and joy of the outdoors. All of the stories are wild and great. So find a comfortable chair. And escape.
Here are 18 great Outdoor stories from the editors of Field & Stream magazine.
Some are real short and some are a little longer but all are worth reading.
“Never give in, never give in, never; never; never; never – in nothing, great or small, large or petty – never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense” — Winston Churchill, Oct 29, 1941

:agree:
> Hunting & fishing stories while entertaining have this built-in romance & euphoria that make them want to be heard again & again as they make excellent 'campfire & living room topics :D
> The strangest part is that "The fish that was caught & the buck that was bagged" keep growing exponentially in size with every passing retell ROTFL ROTFL ROTFL
