Hell, I Was There- Elmer Keith X10. I have this book next to my recliner. Damn good reading written by a man that "had the bark still on"

Another vote for Peter Capstick. Death in the Long grass is my fav. X2. That guy has HUGE huevos!!
It is preponderant to prorogue verbalising and let the citizenry surmise that you are doltish, than to disseminate and expunge all skepticism

Anything by Jim Corbett (Man-eaters of Kumaon, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Corbett_%28hunter%29#Books ) is as good as it gets; everything else will feel second best after reading his books.

I am reading a book now titled "The Greatest Hunting Stories Ever Told" and it is VERY good. Short stories by various literary greats and past and current outdoor writers. My son gave me this one fore Christmas and I love it.

There is a book named Legendary Deer Camps. A historical look at deer camps of old, with pictures. It is fascinating.

These all sound good. I wished i'd had the attention span to sit down and read a good book.I somehow loose interest and and can't be still long enough to get into them without pictures.

I have a new favorite hunting book.
Jack O'Connor's Big Game Hunts. It was a collection of his stories on big game that he wrote for Outdoor Life. Book was published in 1963 and I bought it off eBay. I had previously only read his books on guns, but he can tell a good hunting story for sure.
