I’ve been on a Stephen E Ambrose kick lately. Started with Undaunted Courage (about the Lewis and Clark expedition). Then went on to D-day. Now on band of brothers. All good reads.

If youre into mule deer then I would highly recommend robby's book. I've read all the major mule deer books out there and I think his is the best.

Months of the Sun
For fiction, Henderson the Rain King

 

[Touchdown88]

Jim Corbett's stories of shooting man eaters in India

Jim Corbett's stories of shooting man eaters in India

Indeed. The Man-Eating Leopard of Rudraprayag is flat-out awesome. I think the best of his books.

Journal of a Trapper by Osborne Russell
The Saga of Hugh Glass by John Myers Myers
Use Enough Gun by Robert Ruark (about hunting Africa)
Hell, I was There by Elmer Keith (hard to get your hands on)

In nonfiction, I'm a big fan of the old school....Belmore Browne (very rare, but one of the best), Andy Russell, Grey Owl, Black Elk, Colonel Whelen, Calvin Rutstrum, Sig Olson, Aldo Leopold, Fred Bear, the Muries, etc. etc. etc.....
In fiction, anything by Bernard Cornwell is gold...just read "The Terror" by Dan Simmons...holy cow...that was a hell of a good book.

Into the fire by Dakota Meyer. Not your traditional informative or mountain man book, but a lot can be learned from his story. If you want the cliff notes, listen to jocko podcast where Dakota was on. If interested, I will send you my copy of the book to read

Under the biggest sky of all by Ron Mills

 

[LostArra]

Alaskan-Yukon Trophies Won and Lost by G. O Young if you can find a copy.
Be prepared to feel like a total hunting wimp the rest of your life.

Deliverance by James Dickey
Forget the movie and Ned Beatty. If you are into audiobooks, it's even better. Who would know that James Dickey, a laureate poet was a bowhunter?

Endurance by Alfred Lansing

Endurance by Alfred Lansing

Another vote for this one.

Another vote for this one.

A third.

And add In the Heart of the Sea by Philbrick to see what happens when you don’t have the leadership of Shackleton.
