For the Quiet Moments of Deer Season

Hunters know that a day in the woods is about more than the moment a buck steps into view. It's the predawn walk to the stand. The first light filtering through the trees. The sound of leaves behind you. The changing wind. The hours spent watching a patch of woods and noticing things you might otherwise miss.

Harold E. Kohn understood that kind of attention. A true naturalist as well as a pastor, counselor, artist, and writer, he spent a lifetime studying wildlife and the natural world and finding deeper meaning in what he observed. His reflections move easily from the habits of animals and the rhythms of the woods to questions of faith, character, perseverance, suffering, and hope.

At Hidden Brook, his family's wooded retreat in northern Michigan, Kohn found a place to slow down, observe wildlife, explore the woods, and reflect on the lessons found in creation. His warm prose and original illustrations capture the kind of experience familiar to anyone who has spent a quiet morning waiting in the deer woods.

Outdoor Reflections for Deer Hunters makes a thoughtful Christian hunting gift for whitetail hunters, bow hunters, rifle hunters, sportsmen and women, fathers, grandfathers, sons, hunting partners, and anyone who treasures the hours spent in the woods each fall.

About Harold E. Kohn

His life was shaped by suffering. His eye was drawn to creation. His words still offer comfort.

Harold E. Kohn was a pastor, counselor, naturalist, artist, and poet who spent a lifetime observing both the beauty of creation and the struggles people carry. A lifelong student of the natural world, he delighted in noticing the details others might overlook—from birds and wildlife to plants, weather, and the changing seasons—and sharing what they revealed about life and faith.

Kohn also knew suffering personally. Through serious illness, chronic pain, and loss, he developed a deep compassion for others that shaped decades of pastoral ministry and counseling.

His warm prose and original illustrations bring those worlds together, finding enduring lessons of faith and life in the ordinary wonders of creation.

Put it in your hunting pack. Take it into the blind. And make a little more of the quiet moments this deer season.
