Im about to finish "hunting the hard way". And I was wondering what other books are just as good?
Thanks
I really like reading anything written by Fred Asbell
Recently enjoyed Longbow a hunting life. By Jay Campbell.
Really like jay Campbell's "Longbow". Wish it was a few hundred pages longer.
Longbow by Jay Campbell x3
Also Don Thomas' "Have Bow Will Travel"
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!
"Sagittarius" and " In Africa" by Bob Swinehart are both great.
Cool thanks guys.
Any of the Don Thomas books X2. He is a great story teller with a great wit!!
Bows on the Little Delta by Glen St Charles should be a must read.
'Ishi and Elvis' by Jim Hamm. Great read about recovering land, building a bow, and...well, don't want to give too much up!
"Life at Full Draw" by Chuck Adams. It,s a great book.
My Neck of the Woods by Bryce Lambley is a really good book,also he has a new book out now Platte River Driftwood that is really good too.
If any of you have an I pad they have " Hunting with the Bow and Arrow" by Saxton Pope for free in the book store app.
I should add that it's what made me decide to take the plunge.
Thanks Jakeemt. I just got it on my phone.
Hunting with the bow and arrow by Saxton Pope is very good
"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.
I'm reading Fred Bear's field notes right now! Great book!Man! I wish I was there with him, kroll and St charles on the little Delta.
There are two MUST HAVES. "A Traditional Journey", produced by the Pope and Young Club is at the top. Do whatever you must to get a copy of this coffee table worthy publication. You will cherish it the rest of your life. A leather bound copy of "The Witchery of Archery" by Maurice Thompson is the other. The ones listed before are all great for the man cave library. ALSO, the first G. Fred Asbell "Instinctive Shooting" is fine work as the last few chapters are a compilation of hunts and they are heart pumping, as well as, humorous.
One of my favorites is "Bows, Swamps and Whitetails" by Tim Lewis. This is one of the few books I read over and over....Like someone else said "Ishi and Elvis" by Jim Hamm is a good one too. "Bows on the little delta" by Glenn St. Charles is a great one also.
Let's not forget, Mr Lamb's latest.

Every book written by the Wensels, Mark Baker. Mike Mitten, the Asbell books, Hunting Open Country Bucks by Dwight Schuh, Charlie Lambs book. Probably a few im missing, but those r the ones ive enjoyed so far.
"From the Den of the Olde Bowhunter" by Chet Stevenson is one of my favorites. I have most of the other ones mentioned above and they are all great books.
Love Don Thomas' writing. Any of his is highly recommended.
Come November by Gene Wensel is one of my favs. To all things a season by E Donnell Thomas is another.

I have the Chuck Adams Life at Full Draw if someone wants to trade another book for it.
Thanks guys. I got the witchery of archery, hunting with the bow and arrow and toxophilus
I like Fred Andersons books.
Archerylibrary.com has a compilation of free books whose copyright has supposedly already expired. A couple of those are the Witchery of Archery and Hunting with the Bow and Arrow.
I forgot to mention Bows, Swamps, and Whitetails by Tim Lewis. Glad someone also mentioned it. I have a special fondness for the book as I shot the piebald deer on the cover.
