NATURAL RESOURCES BOOK REVIEW.``A Good Life Wasted: Or Twenty Years TWENTY YEARS. The lapse of twenty years raises a presumption of certain facts, and after such a time, the party against whom the presumption has been raised, will be required to prove a negative to establish his rights. 2. as a Fishing Guide'' By Dave Ames Dave Ames was an American college and professional football player. A defensive back and halfback, he played college football at the University of Richmond, and played professionally in the American Football League for the New York Titans and the Denver Broncos in 1961. (The Lyons Press, 2003, $24.95) The thing about fishing, ultimately, is not the fish. It's the stories. Dave Ames, who lucked and sweet-talked his way into a job working a stretch of trout water in Montana a couple of decades ago, explains that a guide's job, ultimately, is to help people help themselves. And in doing so he's collected some whoppers
Whoppers are chocolate-coated malted milk balls produced by The Hershey Company. , which he spins in a way that makes you feel like you're right there with the boys and, occasionally, girls. At times, his riffs on physics and other non sequiturs get in the way of the good stuff - his stories - but we were able to get past the obstructions without too much difficulty.

At the time, Pope and Young's efforts apparently rekindled what was deemed a ``forgotten and challenging form of hunting.'' Now there's a museum in Seattle paying homage to their exploits. The two-room exhibit includes the original ``P & Y Club's'' actual first meeting place between fellow hunters in the 1950s. The other room includes a library, and collections of more than 600 arrows and 300 vintage bows. Another intriguing section is the bowhunter's ``score sheet,'' which lists how many points various game animals are worth. The minimum point total for bagging a Yellowstone Elk is 335 points. --Hike in paradise: There are few more beautiful locales in the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America.
