The author shares his rich observations about animals and hunting habits. Colorful and rich iconography, including hunting patterns and animal tracks.

The hunter's year divided into months, this is not a typical hunter's diary.

"Year of the Hunter. A thing for hunters and nature lovers (with illustrations by the author)" - this is the most famous publication of Włodzimierz Korsak (1886-1973), an outstanding writer, naturalist and hunter. It's truly amazing that it was never reissued after World War II.

The book will be a perfect gift for a hunter, but also for an enthusiast of Polish nature.
