I know, what took me so long!
I picked it up at BigJim's tent at the KY Trad Fest 3 weeks ago. Imagine my surprise when I arrived home, opened the vacuum sealed package, and found the book was a signed copy!
I'm sure many of you have read it. It is a terrific read. It is so interesting to hear about how bow hunting was conducted in and around the 1950's. There is also a lot of action in the 70's and a bit in the 80's.
Observations:
1. I wish I had read this book before I met Glenn St. Charles with so many others at a couple PY Banquets. I have to admit, I didn't appreciate the man enough.
2. The story about coming upon the group of Dalls Sheep rams and emptying his quiver was wild.
3. The book is very honest with hits, misses, successes and regrets.
4. Lots of tidbits of personal information about Fred Bear and his and Glenn's hunting "cronies" (a word Mr. St. Charles uses in the book).
5. Some of his conclusions about bow hunting fair chase and ethics were interesting and with a decidedly western flavor.
I rate this as the best bowhunting book I've ever read.
Compton is my next project. I know the name, I joined the organization thanks to Mr. Asbel's recommendation, but I know nothing about him. He was mentioned a couple times in this book.
