Good morning!

I was hoping to get some new book ideas. Does Anyone have any recommendations? Mainly looking for nonfiction outdoor themes past and present.

Death in the Long Grass - Peter Capstick Hathaway

Into Thin Air - Jon Krakauer

Buried In the Sky - Peter Zuckerman

American Buffalo - Steven Rinella


These are my favorites from this year. Reading another PC Hathaway book right now, Death in the Silent Places and it is awesome too.

Lengthy, but it goes a long way towards outlining how our public lands system and modern conservation framework came about. Also interesting to get a deeper glimpse into how much of dynamo TR really was.

Another vote for American Buffalo.

If you have a funny bone, all of Patrick F. MC Manus's books great stuff!

Since most of the classics have been mentioned already I’ll make an unconventional suggestion.

Call Of The Mild - Lily Raff McCaulou

It’s about a woman living in New York who was raised as a gun fearing environmentalist and animal lover. She eats meat but has been taught that harming animals is wrong and. She leaves a job as a producer for indie films for a reporting job in central Oregon. She embraces a new lifestyle and takes a hunter safety class that is designed for kids as an adult woman.

I enjoyed this book because it provides insight to the unconventional path that some people take to hunting. It demonstrates why we should reach out to people who may be interested but don’t know where to begin.

I just read “No beast so Fierce”. Really good read on a similar topic.

Halfway through it. Had read the original Corbett account long ago, but the historical stuff is a nice addition.

Tenth Legion is fantastic, even better if you turkey hunt

The Big Burn by Timothy Egan

Night of the Grizzlies by Jack Olsen

Alone in the Fortress of the bears by Bruce Nelson

Although not a big fan of fiction, the Joe Pickett books by CJ Box are really good. Fiction based on real issues with western hunting like environmental terrorism, wolves, endangered species, poaching, połitical influence on prosecution, native americans, mining, habitat destruction, etc...all mixed with murders. Start with the first book and go!
