Book Recommendations?

[Historybuff]

By quick glance at the bookshelf, these are a few of my favorites and ones I'd highly recommend. Bowhunting Alaska's Wild Rivers by Jay Massey. A Thousand Campfires by Jay Massey. Fred Bears Field Notes by Fred bear. Hunting the Hard Way by Howard Hill. And Bowhunting for Mule deer by Dwight schuh.

Sheep and Sheep Hunting by Jack O’Connor is my favorite classic!

What are your favorite hunting books? I’m mainly looking for books that are species specific regarding animal behavior and hunting tactics etc but I’m open to anything.

I’m finding myself spending way too much time on my phone to research hunting and would like a healthier alternative. Thanks!

This may be an obscure one. But I've been reading "How to trade stocks" by Jesse Livermore.

I've hardly done anything with the stock market, as I'm quite young. But the story is fascinating to me.

Wild Migrations: Atlas of Wyoming Ungulates. It's an interesting read. Not really the kind of book I imagine you're looking for, but it's a great coffee table book.

I can’t believe only one Rokslider has mentioned “Hunting Big Mule Deer: How to Take the Best Buck of Your Life” by our very own Robby Denning. It should be required reading for ANYBODY who ever plans to set foot in the woods chasing after mule deer. I’ve read it a few times and latch onto something different each time.

I just bought this one off Amazon, looking forward to reading it

I recently read Mountain Drifter by Zach Bowman. I listened to him on the S2H podcast and ordered right then. While not really a tactics kind of book it was a great read! I got a lot of laughs out of it. I’d recommend it.

Those Jay Massey books are not cheap, might want to hold onto them.

Really enjoyed that book. Going to have to give it another read through now.

I’ll second this one, great book.

He put into words a lot of what i’ve felt for a long time now.

Nice

I try to hit up the used book stores here in AK every so often in hopes of locating some of these hard to find books.

Ive read a couple lately, they aren’t specifically hunting, but in the adventure/history genres. Definitely include some hunting under dire circumstances.

A Land So Strange
Andrés Reséndez
A narrative history about the Narváez expedition and the epic, eight‑year journey of the four survivors (Cabeza de Vaca, two other Spaniards, and the enslaved Moor Estebanico).

River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt’s Darkest Journey
Candice Millard
Modern narrative about Roosevelt’s tragic, perilous expedition down the Amazon’s “River of Doubt.”
