Going on a Hunting Trip

Going on a Hunting Trip

What does it really mean to go on a hunting trip?

In Going on a Hunting Trip, a young child heads into the woods with their dad for a quiet day of learning, observing, and experiencing the outdoors together. Dressed in blaze orange and moving carefully through the autumn forest, the two share moments that will feel familiar to hunters and eye-opening to those new to the tradition.

Along the way, readers encounter the small wonders of the woods—snails crossing the trail, mushrooms growing from fallen logs, the rhythmic tapping of a woodpecker, and the sudden movement of a squirrel overhead. These moments build a deeper understanding of the natural world and remind us that a hunt is about far more than what ends up in the freezer.

Told with warmth and authenticity, this beautifully illustrated picture book introduces children to hunting in a thoughtful, age-appropriate way. It emphasizes patience, awareness, and respect—for wildlife, for the land, and for the experience itself.

And like many real hunts, this one doesn’t end with a harvested deer.

Instead, it offers something just as meaningful: time spent together, lessons learned, and a growing appreciation for the outdoors.

Perfect for:

• Hunting families sharing their tradition with the next generation

• Parents and grandparents looking for a thoughtful outdoor-themed gift

• Readers curious about hunting and where their food comes from

• Children who love nature, animals, and quiet adventure

Going on a Hunting Trip is a gentle, honest introduction to the hunting experience—one that celebrates the journey, not just the outcome.
