"Countless small and large outdoor joys are to be found
in Bill's book, a capsuled lifetime of discovering delightful living and
lore . . . "
-- Midwest Outdoors
" . . . what a truly marvelous story teller he is and how he seems to
have covered every facet of the out-of-doors during more than a half century."
-- The Daily Clintonian
" . . . a book any Hoosier can sit by the fire and enjoy this winter."
-- Osgood Journal |
| "Bill Scifres, unlike a lot of us, never forgot how to have fun. .
. . His niche in life is obviously to write about the outdoors, and we
are the better for it." -- Indianapolis
Star
"Outlandish characters and a lifetime of misadventures touch on the
timeless tradition of humorous tales and anecdotes. Scifres is one of many
regional raconteurs widely enjoyed, who sustains the storytelling tradition."

| "If you don't know outdoor life, stash this guide in your pack and
you'll take along about as knowledgeable a friend as you can find. The
odds are that Indiana Outdoors will become a collector's item as
well as a practical guide." --William
R. New
Indiana Outdoors will delight lovers of that wonderland of field
and stream, woods, hill, ravine and lake, minutes from every Hoosier door.
Even if you read it while you are propped up on your pillows in bed during
a winter snowstorm, it will make you itch to get to the great outdoors
and will give you pleasant dreams." --Indianapolis

| "Indiana Outdoors is designed as a guide, a how-to-do-it-better
piece of advice if you hunt, fish, go searching for mushrooms, or want
to cook what you find in Indiana. . . . It's worth the reading, whether
you like to fish or hunt or not."
