I have read quite a few books about backcountry hunting/wilderness survival. Im not gonna list them all, but I was wondering what books you guys/gals have read and would recommend.

David long's "Public Land Mulies"

Les Stroud s book, and any military survival manual i can get. David Longs book is great as well for Mule deer.

Not really backcountry but Meat Eater is a good read and I need to order up Billy Molls new book.

I have read a chapter here n there of Mike Eastmans new book on Muleys it seems like a good one

Just finished Three Against the Wilderness, definitely a good read on a pioneering family in the Chilcotin.

Another book you might like is "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Hunting" by Frank Miniter. It's a fun totally pro hunting book. Has a bunch of cool little facts and will give you some good ammo to win any argument against anti-hunters. My wife read some of the book and even used some of the suggested arguments against some of her co workers that couldn't believe she hunted waterfowl with me.

David Long's Public Land Mulies is a good read and so is Meateater by Steven Rinella. Another good one (read it a couple times) is Wildlife Wars by Terry Grosz. Its a bunch of short stories/adventures from one of the early game wardens in California. Check it out...
I am looking to read Les Stoud's next...

Meat Eater is good.

Also, a Hunter's Heart: Honest Essays on Blood Sport by David Petersen.

Man-eaters of Kamaon is a good one while not related to North American hunting...

Whats the gist of the Man Eater book?

The best that I have read so far was by Jose Ortega y Gasset "Meditations on Hunting." I also really enjoy most of Ruark and Capstick.

Tom Brown's Field Guide to Wilderness Survival is a good "how to" on the basics. I need to read Les Stroud.

Meateater is a bunch of short stories of hunting, fishing, trapping and the outdoors from childhood until present mixed with a bit of Steven's philosophy. I am about half way thru it liking it so far - just need to make the time to finish it up.

I recently read Technical Bowhunting by Joe Bell and thought it was a good read on shooting techniques, tuning and the like.

"Crow Killer" about Jeremiah (John) Johnson (Johnston).

"Last of a Breed" by Louis LaMour.
