Life S A Hoot

Continuing with the same-style writing and in the same genre, Dr. A.W. Sibley gives his readers of Ain't Life 'a Hoot (Volume 3) an entertaining and "eye opening" look into forty-five years of elk hunting in the mountains of the great Rockies. Spanning the years of 1965 until the present, Dr. Sibley - along with his closest friends and relatives -has camped out and hunted from southern New Mexico to northern Idaho. The recounting of numerous hilarious stories and amusing anecdotes will keep readers of all ages laughing and smiling well after the last chapter has been read. Beginning with tales of his trips in central Colorado on the western side of the Rockies at a place called the Muddy Basin, Dr. Sibley remembrances of lifetime friendship formed will catch the attention of all readers. Many lifetime experiences and memories are formed in the most unique of situations and the recounting of "roughing it" hunting/camping stories that Dr. Sibley shares with his readers will make everyone who was not there also "roughing it" wish that they had been. Some of the real life characters that Dr. Sibley references in his book are also "real life heroes" and their traits of self-less character and heroism shine through in Dr. Sibley's words. Truly, Volume 3 of Ain't Life 'a Hoot is an outstanding, fitting completion to the trilogy of the true-life story of a farm boy that grew up in rural central west Louisiana. Dovetailing and fleshing out a few of the details of friendship and family mentioned in Volume 1 and Volume 2 of Ain't Life 'a Hoot, A.W. shares his thoughts on what a true friend really means and how important family is in this day and time.After one has read Volume 1 & 2, then reading Volume 3 is a must-do list item. However, Volume 3 of Ain't Life 'a Hoot also stands on its own as a truly excellent accounting of the past 45 years of superior hunting and camping expeditions in the great outdoors of the Western USA.

When Jim Haworth graciously donated the first 4 books to me that hed written I was delightfully thrilled. Prior to that Id already been receiving almost daily e-mails with his ongoing wacky/witty tidbits of information. On the very rare occasional times when I didnt receive one Id become a bit depressed because I had begun to look forward to getting them nearly everyday of the week. He told me that many would just pop into his head at all times during the day and night so I found this to be intriguing. The more that these e-mails came the more they began to grow more popular with me. So many of them always seemed to ring home true representations of many types of situations that we all have happening in our lives on a normal daily basis. Just reading them on an almost daily basis actually added a sort of unexplainable lift to my usual normal routine daily life. It was good when he recognized that by placing the printed material into varying other places upon the pages as well as adding black and white pictures interspersed within the chapter titles it added much more interest to the written material placement positions within the chapter titles. As I would turn each page Id find my self trying to guess where the printed material will be placed and wondering if a black and white picture would be appearing to reinforce the particular subject matter being given? I hope with his 5th book that this kind of placement of the material on the pages as well as the pictures will continue. I feel that by having made those 2 big adjustments it has added an additional kind of joy and harmony to what he is trying to say to his readers. I feel that so many of his wacky/witty sayings will help others get through whatever kinds of problems they might be facing because they are so down to earth true sayings. All age groups will find inspiration in these sayings and this does include children as well as teenagers because they are just appealing in nature. The reader is able to easily grasp the concepts as theyre written in short statements of common sense everyday language that can be rapidly read from page to page.
