"We are hunters - it is part of who we are, of who we've always been." 7x10 inches; 294 pgs.
'Dick & Mary Cabela were connected long before they met, linked by a need to give chase. Later, they founded one of the best-known outfitting companies in the world, together. They raised a family, together. Through it all, they hunted - together. Whether it was upland birds on the Nebraska plains, kudu in Zimbabwe, water buffalo in Australia or mountain nyala in Ethiopia, they've hunted it with each other.
Like in one harrowing tale, when Mary & Dick followed elephant tracks into a dense Ethiopian rainforest, only to become the hunted when the elephant charged. No matter where their adventures take them, they never forget their humble beginnings. At its core, Dick & Mary's story is a quest to experience, if only briefly, the awe, wonder & freedom they knew when life was simple, when they were children, stepping into a world wanting nothing but to be explored. It's a story about two people from simple backgrounds, who discovered together dreams are attainable and the most complex of human emotions lie in life's simplicities.
WHAT THE HUNTERS ARE SAYING:
"Without warning, the elephant made the decision for us. He turned. This was it. Bearing down on us, he shaved 30 yards to less than 10 in about the same amount of time it took me to yank the .500 Nitro to my shoulder. I remember those milliseconds in a blurred, slow, almost dreamlike state."
--Dick Cabela
"The kudu was winning and it was beginning to show on our faces. No first day excitement or anticipation left. We knew the drill & and drill was wearing us down, day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute. Only one thing allowed us to face each new day, take one more step with drive. Hope. If the day begins with hope, the day begins well. And if it ends with the hope of tomorrow, then pushing yourself further is really no major task at all."
-- Mary Cabela
