Derrell Rodine has lived and hunted in Saskatchewan and many other places in North America for most of his adult life. He operates a guiding operation, with his son Craig, from his farm in southeast Saskatchewan and sees clients from all over the continent.
Derrell's book, A Lifetime of Hunting, published by Word Alive Press in Winnipeg, was printed in June 2015.
“The title of the book tells some of the story,” says Derrell.
“I have been blessed all my life with the opportunity to hunt and fish in the great outdoors and I wouldn't trade these adventures for anything. I wanted to tell people some of what I've experienced because it is not available to everyone and I think they don't understand what they are missing. The hunting life and the life of the hunter is disappearing even in Saskatchewan.”
Some of Derrell's stories are funny and others are more serious, but they are all a reflection of a way of life he was privileged to enjoy. The book is a slice of a particular Saskatchewan life over the past 50 years.
The book is available for purchase for $14.00 on Amazon or by contacting Derrell at 306-456-2520.
Derrell and his wife, Joyce, live on a farm approximately 20 miles south of Weyburn.
