Description
This is a true story that is as bizarre as it is perplexing.
Things happen for a reason, or so I am told. The events described in this book actually happened. This story is real. The explanations for the bizarre happenings will probably be as confusing to you as they are to me.
Embark with me on this journey-my quest to find answers and obtain closure for the unresolved issues that occurred and stayed unresolved for five decades.
This story is much more than an incredible hunt; it goes much deeper than that.
Join me in my search for truth.

Excerpt
Introduction
There are many instances in life when we may wonder if we made the right choice when we came to a crossroads. Different outcomes occur, depending on the path chosen.
I chose a certain journey, and I encountered many obstacles along the way. In a way, however, I feel as though the journey chose me. I believe that things happen for a reason, although I am not quite sure why.
This book is based on a true story; every event described actually took place and the quotes are verbatim. I have heard it said that truth is stranger than fiction. In that case, this story is very strange indeed.
Rarely are good stories about good things. Most stories are about struggles between good and not-so-good. Conflict and strife make for good reading. People react to different situations differently. This story will show you how I reacted to mine. There is a significant message that I must tell. The story is true, but I have changed the names of the people involved to protect their privacy.
Now, put your trays in the upright position and fasten your seatbelts.
You are in for a very bumpy ride!

Praise for the Book
"A story of finding and saving oneself, a spiritual path of discovery and a quest to began anew the journey of life, less hindered by the past." ~ Judy
"This author knows his stuff about the topic of hunting and describes the experience in a way that is clear but not overly vivid for those that do not wish to read the gritty details. More than once, I felt that I was out in the woods with Elkman as he recounted his experiences. There are scenes here where the prose, using hunting as a platform for what the author is really saying, goes to the heart and emotion of the relationships the book explores." ~ JD Reviewer
"Red Dot Shot is the memoir of the author's journey to overcome a childhood of his emotional 'abandonment' from his father. [...] Red Dot Shot is an important message of how essential it is to give your children words of encouragement and love." ~ Elizabeth
About the Author
I have heard it said that we are products of our environment. If that is the case, I consider myself in my own microclimate. Choices between right and wrong must be made, especially at one's crossroads. If it doesn't feel right, it is probably wrong. I try to think outside the box, even though I have felt like I have been trapped inside one. I live for life and the excitement it brings each day. I try to not let the events of the past cloud my experiences, even though there is still some residual effect. Learning and growing from my experiences is my ultimate goal, as well as to share those experiences with others. I am elated to share this story with you. I hope it will bring a sense of assurance that no matter what your situation brings, answers can be found if you look for them.
