Scifres is one of many regional raconteurs widely enjoyed, who sustains the storytelling tradition.\" -Come-All-Ye Readers of the Indianapolis Star have enjoyed Bill Scifres's column \"Lines and Shots\" for over 37 years. The premier outdoor writer in Indiana, Bill is also a born storyteller. This collection gathers some of his best accounts of a lifetime of adventure in the out-of-doors. From The Great Turtle Adventure to the discovery that Santa Claus was really a mink, Bill's message is the same: Nature is full of wonderment and pleasure and there is always something enjoyable to do outdoors, no matter the season. The good old days are alive and well in Indiana.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike any good storyteller, Bill has a gift to see connections, drama, and adventure in experiences and observations which may at first seem commonplace.
