    I like books by Peter Hathaway Capstick, Robert Ruark, Col Jim Corbet, and even some Hemmingway , although it is fiction. For light reading and uncontrollable laughter, Patrick F McManus. Don't read the stuff about Grizz attacks and all that till winter and you are safe at home.

    It's hard to find but it shows up used online "Hard Hunting" Patrick Shaughnessy and Diane Swingle. They do a hunt all in one season in Northen B.C. Good pictures and good stories. Unbelievable amount of work and very spartan camping. Think they get 2 rams, a grizzly, a black bear, a caribou, maybe a moose I can't remember. Really enjoyed it.

    Chilco Choate, Fred Webb.

    A Hunters Road by Jim Fergus is a good story of a guy and his dog hitting the road in a camper truck to spend the entire season bird hunting in the USA.

    I like lots of the BC historical books that you often see in small town gas stations.
    Knowledgeable shooters agree- The 375 Ruger is the NEW KING of all 375 caliber cartridges. ALL HAIL THE NEW KING!

    update

    Author & former guide Chilco Choate now 86, has returned to Clinton after 60 years as a guide outfitter at Gaspard Lake.

    "Choate remained at Gaspard Lake, which still has no electricity or running water, until last year when he moved to Clinton after he fell and hit his head".

    Met Chilco a while back at his Gaspard camp & he was a super friendly & talkative guy, extremely interesting & knowledgeable in wilderness topics, animal behaviour, bush safety etc.
    After telling him about the grizz that charged Eve & I by Gaspard Creek he told us where the recent grizz sightings were & what to watch for in the general area.
