Jr. Stan Corvin
Echoes of the Hunt, written by Stan Corvin, Jr., is the true story of a deer hunt he was on a few years ago in West Texas. Arriving at the ranch, he learned the owner who invited him had the flu and was not going to participate in the hunting of a massive atypical mule deer named “El Viejo.” For the next ten days, Stan hunted alone for the trophy buck. Interwoven with this adventure, he tells of hunting experiences as a young boy, then later as a teenager with his father, grandfather, and uncle. Many of these memories are recalled in the evening while he is sitting in a creaking rocking chair in front of a blazing fireplace while drinking his favorite beverage.A lifelong hunter, Stan has shot dove in Argentina, quail in Baja California, elk in New Mexico, mule deer in Colorado and feral hogs in Texas. As a two-tour helicopter pilot serving in Vietnam in 1968 and 1971, he also hunted NVA and Vietcong enemy soldiers. That memoir is told in his third book, Vietnam Saga: Exploits of a Combat Helicopter Pilot published in 2017.
