Sorry my posts have not been as often as before. I have been trying hard to organize this massive amount of literary works my Dad left me. I will be uploading some other stories here for download very shortly. I need to complete some technical things on the site first and clean it up a bit and fix the menus etc.

New EBook on Amazon now with an easy to follow design to build your own “Marsh Fox” Duck Punt by Henry E. Prante was just listed March 17, 2013.

It features 49 easy steps to building your very own “Marsh Fox” duck punt as well as diagrams.

Book Description

Publication Date: March 17, 2013
The “MARSH FOX” is a light weight (about 88 pounds) one-person duck punt especially designed for the marshes of British Columbia, BC — but could just as easily be used anywhere on earth that has marshes and wetlands.

This home built duck punt can get waterfowler’s, photographers, and anyone who so desires, much closer to their quarry among reeds and marshes and improve the success of their outdoor adventures.

This book outlines an easy to follow 49 step by step method of building your own “Marsh Fox” duck punt. It includes the actual design and other helpful information to improve upon your success.

Some basic woodworking skills and tools are necessary, but I believe you will be pleased with the result if you follow the design and instructions as they are laid out.

I hope you enjoy this project and your new adventures.

Please do let me know how you make out.

Thanks very much for buying this book.

Henry E. Prante's Great Hunting Adventures Volume I

Book Description

                Publication Date:         January 31, 2013
Like many young boys, Henry Prante’s imagination was stirred by tales of big game hunting in the Canadian wilderness.
He loved to share his multitude of stories from his trips, and hopefully this collection of adventures will ignite the imagination of a new generation of hunting enthusiasts, and anyone who would just enjoy a series of good adventure tales.
Join Henry, as he and his friends, go after British Columbia’s fantastic big game — bear, sheep, deer, moose and more!
Our family truly enjoyed eating the healthy organic meat he brought home and we still miss Dad dearly.

I found this site while I was just driving along minding my own business and decided to come home and explore it. It is quite interesting with lots of pictures too. Check out www.bcghosttowns.com They have put together quite abit of great historic information.

I would love to go and visit these ghost towns. Maybe next year I can venture out to check some of them out.

My dream has been to travel BC and see and learn all I can about this great province of ours. My Dad was one of those who took every opportunity he could to explore it and took thousands of photos and wrote about all his adventures.

I still have a lot to learn about this WordPress technology and will be re-vamping this site so please excuse all the adjustments.

In addition to all this, I am getting the new books ready to be published.

I am also considering a re-print of Great Hunting Adventures Vol I in paperback form from Create A Space or… and would love to know if you would be interested in a full series collection.

I know my Dad would have loved to know other like-minded hunters and outdoors individuals could vicariously experience his thrill of the hunt, in between their own hunting adventures, as would I, so leave me a message please.

Anyhow, thanks you again for your interest.

I have in my possession a phenomenal amount of documents in the form of new clippings, notes, photos and slides along with all of Henry’s notebooks and other personal data. The cataloguing of it will take some time. If there are any historians out there who would be interested in assisting me with this, I would be delighted.
