1993.
A collection of stories from Ruark's youth, growing up in the woods and on the water.
The Old Man is his grandfather, who taught him a lot about hunting, fishing, and life in general.
Originally published in Field & Stream magazine.
"Where the beginner finds a great example to guide his outdoor experiences, the jaded hunter of many years will see all his hard-earned lessons spelled out in simple, down-to-earth, entertaining language that will have him wondering why the heck he didn't read this book decades ago. I've re-read my copy many times and will again. Ruark's recounting of his grandfather's wisdom is perfect, his description of the old gentleman is achingly familiar."
