« on: March 23, 2013, 09:56:00 PM »
Im about to finish "hunting the hard way".  And I was wondering what other books are just as good?
Thanks

Jay Campbell, Don Thomas, and Fred Asbell all are excellent, entertaining writers.  You need to read all three of them.

'Ishi and Elvis' by Jim Hamm. Great read about recovering land, building a bow, and...well, don't want to give too much up!

"Free Bear's Field Notes:  The Adventures of Fred Bear"

Even better if you watch his hunting movies as you read the book.  The book gives you the "behind the story", and it's hilarious how the movie narrator embellishes when things don't go as planned.  Some amazing footage of one of the father's of modern bowhunting.
