Bowhunting seasons for me are coming to a closing this weekend for a while.  That means it's time to refine gear selection, locate new hunting spots, and bust out good reading material around the fire while waiting for spring turkey.  All of that said, what are some favorite reads related to hunting, bowhunting, whitetail deer behaviors, and simply being immersed into God's country?

Traditional bowhunter magazine never gets old.

Any of the Wensel or Don Thomas books are great.
Fred Bear's books as well as the ones written about him are great, too.
There's a lot of good ones out there, KK and 3Rivers have big selections. I've also found some good stuff at used book stores and libraries.
Nothing like kicking back with an interesting one.

Fred Anderson' book, "The Traditional Way", is one of my favorites.  If something happened to my copy,  I'd go to Kustom King's website and buy another immediately.
Life is a whole lot easier when you just plow around the stump.

Gotta read the Don Thomas books.  Some good stuff there.  I really want to read Man MAde of Elk and Going Trad....both by Peterson.  Haven't found a copy of either yet so guess I'll have to break down and do the order thing.   Campfire Reflections by TJ Conrads.  Longbow, A Hunting Life by Jay Campbell is pretty good too.  

If you do a search you will find a few conversations on books to read.
