I just finished American Big Game Hunting. Very good read.
I'm now 100 pages into Blackfeet and Buffalo by James Schultz. I highly recommend this one, it has some very good first hand accounts of the early exploration and hunting trips into what is now GNP by men including Grinnell.

A bit of a departure from the norm, but 30 years worth of National Geographic and the Bible should see me through.

Ok, I'll bite.
1. Journals of Lewis and Clark. Needs no explanation.
2. This House of Sky. Ivan Doig. Short read, probably my favorite book of all time. Growing up in a Montana that is fast disappearing, or already gone.
3. Two Years Before the Mast. Richard Henry Dana. Priveleged East Coast kid goes to hires on a ship to California in the 1840's ands and see's a California coast totally unspoiled.
4. Clear the Bridge. O'Kane. Incredible adventure hunting Japanese shipping in WWll with an even more incredible ending. This guy was a classmate of my father in law at the academy and was a one-man nightmare for the enemy.
5.Voyage of the Beagle. Darwin. Young man leaves England on a multi-year adventure around the world. Trust me it ain't just about science.
6. Escape from Laos. Deiter Dengler. Hard to find. fantastic tale of survival, escape and rescue during Vietnam. Get the movie, "Little Deiter Needs to Fly" from Netflix for the documentary style story with Deiter telling his own story. An unforgettable character and story.
7.Empire of the Summer Moon. Story of the Comanches. those guys were badass.
8. Four Thousand Hooks. Dean Adams A plug for a friend of mine who wrote the story of going to Alaska to fish halibut commercially on his uncle's halibut Schooner. Wooden boats, Iron men. Nuff said. This guy grew up to be probably the best longliner in Alaska if not the world, and he would never say so himself.
All nonfiction.

They Call Me Hunter by Hunter Wells. He was a guide in Arizona during the 60's & 70's. Simpler times, before the draws. I first started hunting deer in the late 60's just across the border in Utah and know there were bucks like he talks about back then.
A good story teller, I really liked the chapters on hunting the Strip and chasing wildcats in Central America.
