Basic Training for the Wilderness Hunter: Preparing for Your Outdoor Adventure

Sport hunting across the United States faces many challenges. It is up to each individual hunter to be the best ambassador that he or she can be. I strongly urge you to step up your hunting to become a wilderness hunter if your personal physician agrees you can do so safely.

Dr. Sorg has been a hunter for forty-five years. For the past 15 years, he has hunted the Western states and Canada most recently including six backpack hunts. He is a 30-year veteran of primary care and emergency medicine and is board certified in Family Medicine, Emergency Medicine, certified in Sports Medicine, certified in acupuncture, and has a Masters Degree in Public Health.

This training and experience has given him a unique perspective about the health and fitness industry. As a family physician first and foremost, Dr. Sorg has recognized that only information that is practical and easy to implement will stand the test of time and usefulness. Fitness fads come and go, but the basic principles are timeless. This book is meant to help you focus on the basics of what you need to know in the simplest possible way.
