I have only ever read military books(and the bible). I want to expand my library. I am looking for a book about traditional bow hunting, but not instructional. I want to read true stories of adventure.
Give me a list to start with
thanks
Caleb
Bows on the Little Delta
Longbows of the Far North
One with The Wilderness
1000 Campfires
I'll add Fred Bears field notes, And the witchery of archery to Terrys list!
thanks for the quick responses.
I just ordered longbows of the far north from 3 rivers. They have free shipping until tomorrow!
I will keep your list handy and read them all!
thanks again
Caleb
Check out Mike Mitten's "One with the Wilderness" or Bryce Lambley's "My Neck of the Woods" are also good reads.
I've read all those books above. They're the best! I'd add "Witchery of Archery" (Thompson) & Hunting with the Bow & Arrow" by Saxton Pope.
I'm looking for Howard Hill's book, "Hunting the Hard Way".
"Ishi and Elvis" by Jim Hamm is a good book as well...
what Terry said, i read 3 of them al GREAT reads

They do? Can't see that on their website :(
Also look at Hunt with Fred Bear by Dick Lattimer.

Mike Mittens "One with the Wilderness"
Bryce Lambly "My Neck of the Woods" (My Current Read)
Mark Siedschlag "Autumn Leaves A Bowhunters Life"
Jay Massey "Bowhunting Alaska's Wild Rivers" and "A Thousand Campfires"
Anything by E.Donnell Thomas Jr., Rodger Rothaar and Gene Wensel
There are hundreds more but that should be a good start.
wow, thanks again everyone! looks like my trad library will start to rival my military books hear before long :)
Also Howard Hill's
Hunting the Hard Way
and
Wild Adventure
Asbell's books are all good as well.
I don't think I saw what may be the most important one of them all "Hunting with the Bow and Arrow" by Saxton Pope!
If you enjoy Thompson and "Witchery of Archery" make sure and get a copy of "Toxophylius in Arcadia".
