Super Short Summary

Bloodties: Nature, Culture, and the Hunt by Ted Kerasote examines the ethics of hunting through encounters with indigenous and trophy hunters, animal rights activists, and his own experiences, set against his life in the Grand Teton mountains. Kerasote explores subsistence hunting with Inuit in Greenland, critiques trophy hunting in Siberia, and debates ethical issues with activists, ultimately arguing that hunting for food is more environmentally sustainable than industrial agriculture. The book discusses themes of hunting, killing, and personal debates on ethics and environmental impact.
