Hunting and Fishing Classics
« on: Jan 09, 2006, 08:19 PM »
 As I was reading thru I/S I was wondering what books you guys have read that posses a special place in your lives?
 When I was growing up Field and Stream Magazine used to run excerpts from a book called "The Old Man and the Boy" which was written by Robert Ruark.
 It is about him being raised in the Carolinas by his grandparents. His Grandfather was an old sea captain and taught Robert about hunting and fishing,ethics and every day life. I have a copy that is worn by time and countless readings and it is a book that I have given to many of my friends and one that I recommend to anyone who has a young boy or girl that you want to raise to enjoy the outdoors.
 Another is "Gone For The Day" which was written by Ned Smith who was a wildlife artist and writer for Pennsylvania Game News. It is a journal of his daily journeys into the woods that surrounded his home in central Pa.It is filled with sketches of plants and animals that he observed and later used in his art work.
 I also love "Drummer in the Woods" written by Burton Spiller and is all about Grouse hunting which I did with a passion in my 40's to the point of almost losing my happy home.Burton was ia real gentlemen and a man that I wish that I could have known personally.
 Winchester 88..... My weapon of choice!

Has the rain a father?
Or who has begotten the drops of dew?
From whose womb comes the ice?
And the frost from heaven,who gives it birth?
By the breath of God ice is given and the broad waters are frozen.
The waters harden like stone and the surface of the deep is frozen.

North of the sun : Fred Hatfield...   Hard to find but a pretty cool book
Alaskan Wolfman:
Coogans woods (I think that was the name, or mayeb Cogans?)   
Moby Dick
There are a few books I have that are collections of old and new short stories about hunting and fishing, great books for sure.
