Col. Harry Snyder lived by a philosophy that may seem strange in the modern world. He credited his extraordinary success in business to a belief that “big game hunting is the surest… way to gain strength for success in modern business and professional life.”Born in 1882 in Vinton County, Ohio, and growing up surrounded by woods with plenty of small game to hunt, the young Harry Snyder came to realize that all he wanted in life was to hunt big game.

We’re cruising low in a Bell 206 helicopter over Wapusk National Park in northern Manitoba, an area of vast peatlands. My eyes are fixed out the window, gazing down on the rusty peat, pale-green lichen and swamps edged with willow and spruce.
