Your Best Book Pick

[bullshooter]

One of things I like to do when I go out West hunting (traveling from Michigan) is reading or listening to a book along the way that either has to do maybe with hunting, or some type of outdoor theme to it. Like, "Into Thin Air." or "Undaunted Courage" ... on Lewis and Clark, or "The Long Walk", you get the picture....what are your recommendations?

"Indian Creek Chronicles" by Pete Fromm.

 

[Kotaman]

Purification Ceremony (by Mark Sullivan) was an interesting read.

I am more so a hunting book reader. Favorite to date would be meat eater. Steve rinella is a very entertaining writer/story teller.

Anything by McManus. Started reading him about 30 years ago, and love the clean humor, outdoors topics, and the series of short stories make picking the book up and putting it down aagain easy. I have been able to find them as books on tape before, and I should see if I can get them on CD via interlibrary loan and rip them to my MP3 player. I think my two favorites are the one about his first deer, and "How to Go Splat".

The Big Burn.

It's a good one about Teddy Roosevelt's establishment of the USFS, Gifford Pinchot and the fires that burned the Northwest in 1910.
Be warned, the author appears to come from the left.

Undaunted Courage is a good one. One of my favorites is The River Why (fly fishing themed).

Wife and I saw this. Awesome!

Joe Pickett series by CJ Box. About 12 books about a WY game and fish warden in a small town in Wyoming.

The Lochsa Story, Sources of the River, Coming Into The Country, Flight of The Red Beaver...

 

[Sam Millard]

Anything by Roland Cheek, too. Check out Chocolate Legs and The Phantom Ghost of Harriet Lou.

Mountain Man

 

[LazyV]

Lone survivor by Marcus Luttrell. Has hunting, albeit not animals, huge mountains, and a crazy survival story.

 

[OR Archer]

The Old Bowhunter By Chester Stevenson

This is a collection of hunting stories from the early 1900s featuring Chester Stevenson. Great book!!

Lone survivor by Marcus Luttrell. Has hunting, albeit not animals, huge mountains, and a crazy survival story.

Agreed - one of the better books I have read. American Sniper by Chris Kyle was damn good as well. RIP Chris

The Last Season

One Bullet Away

Decent into Madness (Vernon Frolick), would be a good fit for you. It is a great true life story about a guy that lived in the Bush in Northern BC and went a little crazy and did a little killing.

Cold Burial (Clive Powell-Williams) is another one of my favorite reads.

Second unm1136 and vote for anything written by Patrick McManus. Good clean fun. His audio books aren't as good as just reading them yourself. Same content, different delivery.

Lone survivor by Marcus Luttrell. Has hunting, albeit not animals, huge mountains, and a crazy survival story.

Wow, I was going to post this myself, and figured most would have no clue what it was. Best book I have ever read. Going to see the Patriotic Tour with Marcus and Taya in Minneapolis. Highly recommend the read.
