Just finished one some of you fellas might fancy. "Cry of the Hunted" by Gene Tierney. A memior from a Montana game warden who served from the 40s through the 80s. Interesting perspective on the evolution of the roll of game wardens and law enforcement in general. Ol boy spent alot of time in central MT, around the Harlowton area.

I'm halfway through this one and enjoying it so far. What's interesting is it's written by Pat Garrett who eventually killed him, but his writing of all the stories about Billy shows more admiration and respect for him than animosity towards him. What's further interesting is the movie Chisum which was my favorite John Wayne movie growing up as a kid was loosely based on the Billy the Kid story.
Just finished Frozen in Time: An Epic Story of Survival and a Modern Quest for Lost Heros of WWII by Mitchel Zuckoff. Really interesting story of planes going down in Greenland and the attempts to save the men interspersed with the attempt to locate the planes in the early 2010s.

Got curious about this book after hearing of the event on a Shawn Ryan podcast. Just finished it up, reads a little like a text book vs a novel but it was a strange happening no doubt.

The Stupid window sticker thread made me think about this:
https://montana-mint.com/lastbestne...rrison-revels-in-brown-dog-his-pre-fall-hero/
I listened to Legends of the Fall, Revenge, and The Man who gave up his name . I have been enamored with LotF since I watched it in 1996. Listening to the novel I saw a lot of similarities between how it and A River Runs Through It were adapted to the screen. But it made me kind of appreciate Harrison's delivery and writing style...
There was a line in Jim Harrison's Novella Brown Dog about liking a big girl, a "hefty girl". I heard it as a preview when I finished one of his other audiobooks while driving and it was a preview. To be honest it was kinda refreshing that the main character/protagonist/hero was not the perfect image we want to be.

A book about the first wave of American Oligarchies. I thought it might be a timely read.

Holy shit the Comanches were a brutal lot! But they like everyone else couldn't adapt to the new reality that was overtaking them. In the same chapter you both feel terrible for them and animosity towards them.
3.5-4 stars. Highs were historical lows were storyline and ending

A couple of books I read in February:
Desert Bighorns: Arizona's Mountain Kings by Tom Saad - Book was very hard to find, but worth it. Fascinating history of desert bighorn sheep populations in Arizona and the introduction of their hunting seasons starting in 1953. Tons of record-class desert sheep photos.
Borrego: The Fall and Rise of Desert Bighorn Sheep in Arizona by Bill Hook and Raymond Lee - Similar subject matter as the above Saad book, but gives a more thorough history of the founding of the Arizona Desert Bighorn Sheep Society.
Just started Borrego II. And if only I could get my hands on the other two books Saad wrote, but they're impossible to find.

For a couple years now, I have been mocking my wife’s book club, and their affinity for romantasy.
A few weeks back, she challenged me to read one of them, and I did, and here I am entrenched in this series about 2000 pages and three books later fully ensconced in the Dragon Smut genre.
