Looking for a new book..
« on: November 16, 2021, 08:57:27 AM »
I’m looking for a new book to read and and to the collection. Thinking something by Roger Rothhaar.
Any suggestions?

The Traditional Way and Toxicated by Fred Anderson are great reads.
The years accumulate on old friendships like tree rings, during which time a kind of unspoken care and loyalty accrue between men.

Barebow by Dennis Dunn. One of, if not the greatest bowhunting books I have ever read!

Roger Rothhaar only wrote two books.

In pursuit of trophy whitetails, and Whitetail Magic.

Here are some oldies but goodies.

Bowhunting For Deer - H.R. "Dutch" Wambold (1964)

Bows and Bucks - Walter Perry ( 1953 )

I don’t have any of Rogers books, that’s what I was leaning that way.

Thx for the suggestions guys!

Love Roger’s books. The Wensel brothers are good. How about “Bowhunting’s Whitetail Masters” by Dan Bertalan? It’s great.

Can't go wrong with either Roger Rothhaar's or the Wensel's books.

Charlie Lamb’s book is fantastic. I’m reading Toxicated by Fred Anderson now (it’s the book that stays in my hunting pack for long sits). I’ve heard good things about Rathaar’s books, and look to acquire them as well.

This conversation reminds me that I need to revisit some of the Wensel books I have…always worth a read!

Do you have any of the Wensel’s books ? Don Thomas “longbows in the far north? “
Rogers books are highly recommended as well since you don’t have them.

I have a suggestion that is superbly written and supported by amazing photos.  I think it would "scratch your bowhunting itch" and touch your heart, as well!  Great book from a fine man!

Bowhunting: A Passion for Life by Monty Browning:

Mr. Browning's book is top notch, I'm in the process off re-reading it right now. A new one I picked up this year is Marv Clyncke's book "Son of the Longbow", lots of big mule deer and big horn sheep.  Not much else to add to the above lists. bows on the Little Delta by Glenn St. Charlse, I assume you have "Fred Bear's Field Notes"?

I love Chester Stevensons’  “From the Den Of The Old Bowhunter”.
Always do what’s right, even when no one is looking.

Not specifically hunting related, but is about a winter spent alone in the mountains tending to salmon eggs in a headwater out west.  Have read and recommended many times.

I just finished "Son of the Longbow" by Marv Clyncke. It is a very good read and Marv is a great story teller.

I'll second Dennis Dunn barebow.
 Not only a good read but would make an excellent door stop.  ( it's a big book)
