Hearing the Hunt

Most people think they know what they are hearing in the wild — an elk bugle, a distant gunshot, a coyote howl.
But your ears are easily fooled.

Hearing the Hunt reveals how distance, terrain, weather, and human-made calls distort reality — and how modern signal processing exposes the truth hidden inside every sound.

Written by a retired NASA engineer and lifelong hunter, this book combines field experience with real acoustic science to show you how animal vocalizations, gunshots, and environmental sounds actually behave as they travel through the world.
