"Bows on the Little Delta"
« on: July 04, 2016, 02:54:00 PM »
Last year I purchased this book for a friend's birthday. He received it with the understanding that when he was finished with it, I would get it back to read. Well, it took him a little over a year ( he finished it but forgot the agreement) but I finally got the book to read. I'm about half way through and have enjoyed it immensely. Some chapters I have intentionally re-read.

I know this is a plug, but if any of you have not read this book, I would recommend that you buy, beg borrow or confiscate this book from someone. It is a great read.

Great read.  My wife got me a copy for my birthday a few years back and Glen autographed it for me.

Bows on the Little Delta and Fred Bear's Field Notes.  Two great reads that give us a glimpse back to a classic era of bowhunting.

I am reading Tension On the String by Mark Baker and really enjoying it.  Next up, I have Longbow Country by Donnell Thomas on the way.  A Traditional Bowhunter's Path by Ron Rohrbaugh Jr is ordered on Amazon and it is going to be like Christmas when that one comes (based on how much I enjoyed reading the intro/available text).  I will be getting Bows on the Little Delta for sure!!!

Wish more of these folks out there with great tales to tell of long hunting lives would write it down and share it!!  A big thank you to those that have done so!

What would the world be without the works of men like Fred Bear, Hill, Pope, Peterson, Thomas, Baker, Hayes, etc etc???  They will keep us, and future generations of Traditionalists,  inspired and dreaming of the next evenings hunt long after they have found the path to the Happy Hunting grounds...

I would add Bob Munger's "Trailing a Bear" to the list.
