Your Favorite Hunting Book?

An honourable mention, George Rushby's "No More The Tusker" deserves to be a lot better known than it is. An ex poacher/ivory hunter turned game ranger, the book is very well written with typical British understatement.

I've never even heard of it! Gotta look this one up...

Dangerous River: Adventure on the Nahanni by R. M. Patterson. Not necessarily a hunting book but he takes a bunch of game during his trips and it is probably my favourite book.

'Grouse Feathers' by Burton Spiller, or any of the followup books by that old Maine gentleman. Those early 1900s days of hunting New England farmland that was returning to nature are over, but his books read on.

This...

I recently discovered the Jim Corbett books. So good.

"Game Bird Hunting in the West" by Mike Cramond is my favourite of the few I've read, I liked that he is a Canadian hunter, and he had some good stories with simple methodology for hunting all the species covered, fairly easy reading. I'd like to get into reading hunting books more, so I hope to trawl some used bookstores and hopefully gun shows for some good stuff down the line.

Fictional (but historically accurate as with many of the players): A Time To Die by Wilbur Smith

Any of Peter Hathaway Capsticks books are a good entertaining read. Recommend " Death in the Long Grass" and "Death in Silent Places" as two examples.

He has been known to "embellish" some of his stories about African Hunting but damn he is a good writer.
