Please count me in.

I finished the book last night. Very good read....I gotta get serious about getting out to hunt with my brother in Durango!!!!

Wish I had time to re-read it....it's hard trying to read at night after being exhausted from two little ones running around. I found myself dozing off most nights after a couple pages and having a fuzzy memory of what I had read the night before. [/b]

Thanks so much Miles for sending the book,  I picked it up yesterday at the P.O., began reading it last night, and just finished it.

Whoever is to receive it after me, please send me your mailing address and I'll send it along.

Just thought I'd check in with the book pass around... Is it still getting read? Anyone else interested in reading it? If so, please add you name to the list and PM the fellow before you.

I'm glad everyone is getting something out of it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It makes me want to read David Petersen's other books!

Cheers

I'm in the middle of it now.  I'll speed up and get it to the next guy.  Thanks again!

This is a really neat idea and the book is wonderful. My hunting buddy has all his books and loaned them to me last year.  I hope we can encourage more great voices, such as Mr. Peterson's, to put there thoughts and experiences into print!  Sure makes those winter hunting withdrawals more easy to bear!  Might be a great thing too purchase copies of this book to keep in your personal collection (as support to such authors) or devote to a library somewhere (I still remember being about 10 years old and finding 'Hunting the Hard Way' in my grade school library). This could motivate others into the sport. Also, if you don't purchase a book such as this, consider giving toa  conservation organizations (such as Dave himself promotes), it will preserve those Backcountry (spots) us Hunters and Anglers love and dream about.

I just got word that book is on way to me and I think I am last on list......what should i do with it? anyone else interested?

Chris,
I'd be interested in reading it when you are finished if it is still in play.

I'll PM my address.

I'm glad folks are enjoying the read. I just ordered a couple more of David Petersen's books: Ghost Grizzlies and A Man Made of Elk. I'm excited to start them! I think David's a great writer and I like his ideals. I didn't know his friend and mentor was another great writer I've enjoyed most of my life, Ed Abby.

Keep the book circulating!

Cheers-

Joseph,
I'd like a go at it as well...

I'll pm you my address.

Thanks,
Rodd

I would like to take advantage of this as well. Great idea Marc.

Not sure, but I think I got skipped. No biggie still would like a turn. I'm a fast reader    

Can anyone compare this to "A Man Made of Elk"? I love petersen's writing and philosophy, even if I don't always agree. He obviously has a lot of love and respect for the hunt and the animals we pursue. I miss his column in TBM. He has another book called "On the Wild Edge". It is more of a general book about nature and his life following the seasons of the year, but of course fall and elk season is the highlight of the year.

I just got word that the book is on it's way to NW Missouri!  

Anyone not read the book yet that's interested? It's on its way to me and I'll send it along after I read it. If so let me know where to ship by PM. Thanks.

Damon

Id love to read it! I'll send my address.

Jake will you send it to me when you are done? I'll pm you

Put me back in the hat. I will take it after Matty.

Just got the book in the mail! Lol it's pretty tattered. But I'm excited to read it! Thanks for the offer.

Just checking in on the pass around... I know the cover is tattered, but it's the content that matters, right?!

Also, I have purchased and read several other of David Petersen's books and absolutely recommend all of them!!!

Do you something for a friend or yourself this holiday season and pick up these excellent reads!  www.davidpetersenbooks.com

I don't always agree with Petersen, he is very opinionated (aren't we all), but I really like reading his books.  He makes me think, and that is important for all of us.

Is the book still being passed around. If so, I'd like to get in on it.
