I am looking for some reading suggestions to pass the winter.  What is your favorite book(s) or author?  I am currently reading Gene Wensels new book, which I highly recommend and anxiously awaiting the arrival of Barry's which I expect to be just as good.  Thanks for any suggestions!

Archery related only?

Stephen King, everything He put out I can read..

David Petersen, really enjoy his books, Im waiting on "Ghost Grizzles" now.

I just read Love of the Hunt by John Winsor. It's not very long. About 264 pages of his different hunts. Mostly longbow hunts but some rifle. Good book.

Dean Torges, Don Thomas.

Each writes about the sport I love as no one else, and communicates in a way that is really special.

Mike Mitten's "One with the Wilderness" is another wonderfully written book that tells a great story... and teaches some GREAT lessons...

If its archery everything,If not JRR Tolken from the Hobbit to the Cimerarilian.After than Jimmy Buffet (Joe Merchant,pirate looks at 50,tales from margaritaville,jolly mon)ok I'm done.      

Pat McManus.....I wake my wife at night laughing...

James Lee Burke, not archery but writes like Louis L'Amour inasmuch he describes his environment in detail,setting each scene in your mind.My brother-in-law gave me two paperbacks a year ago by C.J. Box.His main character is a game warden.I wasn't too enthused about reading them so they sat on a shelf for a year.I picked them up this past week and read both books in two days.Great stories I'll have to get more books by him.

+1 I love that guy.  :-D

Gene Hill and Havilah Babcock were not archers but wrote good hunting stories. Have you found any of the older books such as Archers Bible that were written when we were younger, and the wheelie bows were not around yet? I also read a lot of wilderness survival material, not that I expect be lost in the wild, but you can sometimes pick up some nifty woods lore that way. Howard Hill is my archery hero, so I read a lot of the stuff about him. If the primitive camping/hunting idea interests you, take a look at the Book of Buckskinning - there is a whole series of these books dealing with recreating the frontier scene. Not much archery in them but it sure does fire the imagination.

I can't recommend too much fiction, since I don't read it, but have several hundred books on military history.

Where the red fern grows, Buckskin and Bone,

If it doesn't have to be archery related then Louis L'Amour is the best author to ever move a pen in my opinion. I own all but 4-5 of his books. Great books

Hard to beat Don Thomas for writing bout trad bow hunting, or anything else for that matter.  I also second Gene Hill if you like to hunt birds with a smoke pole or fish trout with a fly rod.

Don Thomas.

Longbow Country by Don Thomas is hard to beat even though I have all of Louis L'Amour's works.

death in the long grass, greatest book ever.

"Where the red fern grows, Buckskin and Bone,"
Jimmy where the red fern grows is one of my all time favorites. can't tell you how many times i have read that book.
Just started reading some of William W Johnstone's The mountainman series. Very good books.
