    Re: Classic Hunting Books/Authors/Reading(2017)

    My post

    The Wilderness of Denali
    by Charles Sheldon- A REAL GEM!

    A book that is "a memoir of three years of hunting the area of Alaska surrounding Mt. McKinley. It is a classic of American adventure—a book written by a man who was willing to risk his life in pursuit of grizzly bears and the elusive mountain sheep. The account was written each night by campfire as Sheldon discovered what is still regarded as the most scenic wilderness in America."

    After reading the book as a teen in Ont. had to move to BEAUTIFUL BC & never looked back.



    Then there is the other Shelton!
    All of Gary Shelton's books are a must read before venturing into grizz country.

    If you are solo a nice sasquatch book is very relaxing. Or maybe Murray can recommend a book on bear attacks in your region.

    Kidding, of course, I'd take anything on bushcraft. You might get to use a trick or two.

    Take a note pad and write your own story/journal lots of things can go through ones mind
    when sitting waiting for weather. If you watched the last alaskans show you will see how some of
    them made notes every day of what the say, caught, weather etc.
    I wish I had kept a journal when guiding.

    My vote would be a man called red. Perfect read for a hunting trip. Also Alaska’s wolf man by frank glazer.
