    [synopsis] => More than just a "man and his dog" hunting adventure, The Sporting Road is a book about the land and man's place in it.  It is also, in many ways, a book about relationships; with nature, animals, and the people with who live around us. As Rick Bass says in his introduction, Jim Fergus is a man for whom "The common denominator is not geographical, but internal; here is a man who belongs intensely to the living. And slowly, gradually -- essay by essay -- you become aware of the unsaid: the fact that he fits a diminishing time, a diminishing space, and a diminishing code of manners.  That he always puts others before him; that he considers and respects his friends, his prey, his dogs, and the landscapes that engage these things."
