I can't wait to read more about Ron and see some more of those great pictures he is always showing.

I would like to meet him some day.I have been trapping,Bowhunting and buckskinning a long time so I am sure I could find something to talk to him about.  :D

The world is a strange and wonderful place! Last night driving home I had the very same thought! This morning I open the Tradgang site and just have put my name on the list! What a magic site. Mr St Clair is a person who has done so much we all could learn from.

Another vote for an AUTO-biography from a "living legend". Otherwise those Shrew Camp fellows may do a posthumous "tell all".
Hunting with the bow and arrow involves earning your way by making meat, getting your hands messy in the process and then recognizing your own reflection upon them.

WOW!   :scared:   ..Look what happens when you take a couple days off. I'm flattered that so many would be interested in my story. In the over 60 years of shooting a bow I've certainly experienced enough to fill a book. Some of it might put you to sleep but some of it might be interesting. I'm sure some of  my bloopers would make you chuckle.

I've been very fortunate in my lifetime to have met some very interesting and talented characters. They have not only been friends and hunting companions but also teachers. The things I've learned from them need to be passed on.

To tell the truth I have thought quite a bit about writing a book, in fact I've actually started  writing some on it.  As I go over in my mind my "traditional journey", it overwhelms me to think of writing it all down. It seems an insurmountable task.

I'd like to include not only my archery experiences but also some of my other interest such as hunting with flintlock muzzle loaders. To me, traditional archery and traditional muzzle loading go hand in hand. Both sports are  challenging and require doing it the hard way.

Just recently I've been thinking about a DVD, sort of a condensed version of the story. I don't know how it would pan out just yet but I thought of including both video and still photos. Storys as well as instruction.

I think this is something I could get out sooner than a book, although I'd still like to have a book....it just might take a while.   :readit:

HELL YEAH!!!! by using the still picture mode of most video cameras it captures the moment great and most remember that still photo when thinking about the video, at least i do.
 Ron, as you can see by the response i'm sure either book or video if not both would be a huge hit and i am definetly with ya on the trad hunting and smokepoles go hand and hand! hope ya add some nice pic's of big blades as well.

An autobiography to me is all the life experiences you had, that you aren't afraid to share   :scared:

So wether or not it's traditional is irrelevant to me.  I'm sure it will mostly be a great read or watch and I'm looking forward to it.

Put me down for one DVD and one book    :bigsmyl:

I would love to read and/or watch anything about Ron's hunting and outdoor history.  I have always been intrigued by Ron and really respect  his attitude and outlook on the things he stands for.
