You are way to gracious.  Thanks for the offer.  Email coming.

I guess I need to read a little more carefully.  My wife and I have tears in our eyes we have been laughing so hard at my stupidity.

No problem Trucker12... it's just that I laughed out loud when I read "Fairy tales... not that there's anything wrong with that." You have a way with words. Ha. bw

Not traditional archery but a great book to read.
Death in the Long Grass
Peter Capstick

Bob Palmer

"A Thousand Rivers" by Jay Massey.

As Kopper1013 mentioned above. "Just Another Old Bowhunter" by Tom Kidwell is a great read of short traditional bowhunter stories.
The scent of Autumn is like food to the hunters soul.

I recently read "Coyote Soul, Raven Heart" by Reg Darling and enjoyed it very much.  I would also recommend "One With The Wilderness" by Mike Mitten, plus all of Dave Peterson's and Fred Asbell's books.

Hunting From Home by Chris Camuto. It is not solely hunting with bow and arrow but the entire format and writing is excellent. He captures the essence of why we spend so much time in the outdoors much as Aldo Leopold did. I highly recommend this book.

Love these threads!  My list:

Stalking and Still Hunting by Asbell
Hunting the Hard Way and Wild Adventure by Hill
Adventurous Bowmen and Ishi the last Yahi by Pope
Fred Bears Field Notes
One with the Wilderness by Mike Mitten
Sagitarius by Swineheart (all time favourite)
anything by Don Thomas

There are many still on my want list:
From the den of the old bowhunter - Stevenson
Bows on the Little Delta - wife bought me for Christmas, haven't got to it yet.
Lions in the Path - Stewart Edward White
Anything written by either of the Wensel's has to be an entertaining read.
Longbow - Campbell

I cannot wait for Monty Browing's book to become a reality and hopefully, some day the long awaited Paul Schaefer book.

I enjoyed reading "The Sound of the String" fictional but a good book. I gave it away on a bow trade, hopefully it is getting passed around to fellow tradgangers.

Just finished  2nd time   Once upon a tine, Barry Wensel. Great read!!   Started 2nd time. Buckskin and Bone. Gene Wensel.  Both Barry and Gene are exceptional at what they do and get it down on paper in a way that's fun to read.

I thoroughly enjoyed Fred Anderson's book, "The Traditional Way".  

Also, Bows on the Little Delta" and Fred Bear's Field Notes were great reading.

I am surprised no one has mentioned the compilation of TBM articles one of the Wensels put together years ago.  It is a great mix of some of the best articles from the beginning of TBM with a good mix of how to and hunting articles.

I also would recommend any books from Barry Lopez or Rick Bass, not hunting books, just great books about the environment and different subjects about the west

Dave Lay

i agree on most of the above and will add a newer one by Mark Baker. "Tension on the string" it is    very well writen

I have to agree about Uncle Barry's book "Once Upon a Tine".  I've read it 2 or 3 times. Has lots of hilarious stories! I re-read it mostly for a good laugh! Think I'll go dig it out now!

Mike Mitten's "One with the Wilderness" is Great...

No one has mentioned Clay Hayes' book, "Traditional Bowhunting"...short, but a good read.
Your Chicken from McDonald's, Tyson Foods, or Perdue Farms spent most of it's life stuffed in a cage with three or four others, occupying a space about the size of a book page...None for me, thanks...
