Hunting With Beanpole: On His Humorous Misadventures Afield

by Jim Mize, Cliff Shelby (Illustrator)

Hunting With Beanpole is an award-winning collection of humorous fictional stories. You may have a friend like Beanpole, the sort who manages to find the cloud in every silver lining. He touches tent walls to see if it really does make them leak. He pushes buttons to see what they do. And there is no place he won't strike a match. Curiosity never found a better vessel. His adventures in the field will take you hunting everything from varmints to quail, deer, and turkeys, all the while stumbling into trouble that may involve pranks, mishaps, and ghosts. Just in case you have a friend like Beanpole, you might want to consider increasing your life insurance, getting a satellite phone for easier rescue, and taking along a survival kit even if it's just a day trip. Forewarned is forearmed as they say; but some days even four arms are not enough. Winner of the Pinnacle Award from the Professional Outdoor Media Association.

I rightly had no a fine read it is

Mr. Mize has never met me, nor I him. Therefore, when I read what could be my biography why I was overwhelmed with gratitude. Beanpole and I surely are brothers from another mother, perhaps, even twins separated at birth. Excepting, of course, I are a bit smarter than The Bean, but never tell my brother from another mother he’s sensitive you know. Like me knows how to properly pout. Jim Mize is right up there with McManus Lewis Grizzard, and Sean Dietrich. If you like Southern humor, and most everyone excepting them folks from North of the Mason Dixon line, you are gonna love anything Mize writes. And, yes, I can relate to Beanpole quite well.
