The Last Season by Eric Blehm and Death in the Long Grass by Peter Capstick were both good.

Low country rambling, and I like the Oregon files series Clive cussler has going.

I read a lot while hunting/camping. Not so much the rest of the time. Lately I've been working my way through Steve Rinella's books and most recently been reading The Scavengers Guide to Haute Cuisine.

I picked up a kindle this year to take hunting, and downloaded a lot of public domain books for free. Have some Daniel Boone stuff to start reading next. Will never run out of books to read while hunting with the kindle.

What did you think of his buffalo book I just ordered it after reading meat eater

Couldn't agree more, it's my all time favorite book. Have you read The Revenant? Same story but different perspective, well worth a read also

Revenant is being made into a movie being filmed in Calgary right now starring Tom Hardy.

Just finished "Boys in the Boat"....i'm hoping my 16 yr old son will read it.

Its the story of the 1936 [?] US olympic rowing team....but mostly a period piece of growing up in the NW during the depression years...and the rise of Hitler in Germany before the war. Its pretty good.

Like the no quit attitude of the blue collared boy this centered around.

I teach high school English and history, so I'm pretty much always reading. Right now I'm reading (for myself) Angle of Repose, a fiction book about the history of the American West by Wallace Stegner. His book Beyond the Hundredth Meridian, which tells the story of John Wesley Powell and the birth of the science of land management in the west, is one of my favorite non-fiction books. I think it's a must read for anyone who wants to understand life and land and politics in the West.

Stegner, a Canadian by birth, is an "undiscovered" gem, his superb short story, "Carrion Spring" ranks with Lowry's "The Forest Path to the Spring" as an example of flawless depiction of the reality of Canadian life. His writing in that piece is reminiscent of the immortal Joyce's "The Dead" and I wish more people were exposed to his work.

Check out "The Dangerous River" by RM Patterson. It is his memoirs of his travels along the Nahanni River in the early to mid 1900's by canoe and dog sled. A real story of backcountry travel and adventure. Lots of hunting, canoeing, trapping and prospecting. One of my favorite books of all time. Every time I read it I get fired up to take off on another adventure.

My favorite book of all time.

I used to not read anything but magazines until I stumbled onto the CD version of the book during a random trip to the local library. After listening to it on CD, I went and bought a copy and read it right away. I've been reading ever since.

Right now I'm working on Great Plains by Ian Fraizer. It's the kind of book you don't want to read too fast because that means it will end.

Tom Hardy? I had heard Leo DiCaprio, if it is true with Hardy, my excitement for the movie just went way up.

Edit: I see Leo is playing Hugh, Hardy must be playing Bridger or Fitzgerald.

yep, old school tough

Someone mentioned Mitch Rapp- one of my favorite series if you like action/military characters with a slap to the politically correct crowd
Vince Flynn is the author and all are excellent action/fiction- best to start in the beginning, IMO.

I was never a big reader when I was in my teens but the first book I ever read cover to cover was Craig Boddington Safari rifle's II read the whole thing in 5-6 days. Other wise in the past 12 months I've read:

Death in a lonely land-Capstick
Death in the silent places-Capstick
Death in the dark continent-Capstick
The last ivory hunter the saga of Wally Johnson-Capstick
The African adventurers-Capstick
It shouldn't happen-Kevin Robertson
Sheep hunting in Alaska -Tony Russ, the funny thing is if you go to page 30, 63, 68, 145 it shows Bob Cassell and his sheep that's my dentist!!
I knew he was a sheep hunter but dang.

Really looking forward to reading Larry's books. I booked a moose hunt down the road with him and can't wait to read his stuff.

All of the books in the Lonsome Dove series are very good books.

Just finished it today. I thought it was good but not as good as Meateater. Definitely worth the read.
