I especially liked "Ghost Grizzlys" since I met/knew Ernie Wilkerson and his wife. My first archery elk hunt in Colorado was in 1981 and Ed Wiseman's grizzly incident was still being talked about. Ed's guide camp was in Moffatt,CO just outside Crestone(Toneda Outfitters)- and Ernie's "Snowcaving,Taxidermy,and Outfitting" store was on Hwy. 160 going out of Monte Vista.I was solo backpack archery elk hunting in Creede,CO that first year and stopped in at Ernie's store on the way home. He had bulging photo albums of huge mulies,elk he had killed with his recurve back in the 60s. But he didn't show them to me,his wife did. Ernie seemed to be a humble and modest man and enjoyed talking more about the layman talk of taxidermy than anything. This combined with the areas of Colorado mentioned in the book(areas I have treked on) made the book that much more enjoyable for me. Thanks,Dave!!
