Three very different, but great books. I love reading while on stand. Whenever its quiet and I pull out a book, it always seems to guarantee some action! I read these this season. A Look At Life From the Deer Stand by Steve Chapman. Good Hunting by Theodore Roosevelt. American Buffalo by Steve Rinella.

I hope more people chime in. Great idea for a thread...

I read Snowbound last weekend. Great book, and especially interesting if you live or hunt in central Idaho. It’s a true story from 1893 of hunters who got snowed in while hunting up the Lochsa.

Great stuff so far. Snowbound looks good. I never thought of bringing a book on stand. Something would come in for sure once I got enmeshed in a a book ! Haha

I have fished and hunted there. My parents lived on the clearwater, great country. Caught some fish on a 4wt that gave me a tough time on the Selway !

That's a good book, and the three volume Meateater American History series is also great. I listened to all three as audiobooks. Fascinating and detailed books about the Long Hunters, the Mountain Men, and the Hide Hunters. You learn a lot about how America was "settled," for lack of a better term.
