Post by: huntmaster80 on August 31, 2011, 06:46:00 PM

It has been a really long time since I have read a book, like years!! I am looking for a hunting book to read and prefer a Trad hunting book.  

I would love to have some suggestions as to what book I should buy. thanks guys!!

Wow Daydreamer, you took the words out of my mouth (or off my key board)  ;)    Every time one of these threads come up I vote for Mark's book as it is usually one of the least mentioned, and in my opinion, one of the best I have ever read.

So I'll go with another one of Mark's books - "searching for the Wild"  :thumbsup:

Nostalgic Lore of the Bow by Don and Dave McKeller.  Simply wonderful in its own right and one of the best trad

Day Dreamer & Whip, Thanks for mentioning Autum Leaves A Bowhunter's Life. It had been a long time since I'd read it - searched through my bookcases and found the book.  A very good read!
