Saxton Pope (1875-1976) was one of a group of archery enthusiasts in the San Francisco Bay Area, including Will Compton and Arthur Young, who might fairly be considered the fathers of modern archery. Pope recounted his and Young's frequent excursions in Hunting with the Bow and Arrow (1923). He and Young conquered the mighty American Grizzly Bear in Yellowstone and, in 1925, ventured to the Dark Continent in search of the African lion. Over five months their trophies included Thompson gazelle, wildebeest, antelope, eland, jackals, hyenas, and lions. The Adventurous Bowmen (originally published in 1926) chronicles this Safari. Saxton Pope died shortly after his return to America. He and Young are immortalized as the namesakes of the preeminent North American archery organization, The Pope and Young Club.

From the Foreword by Don Thomas: Like all of the few 'outdoor' books that truly deserve to endure, A Man Made of Elk is, well...different. That's logical enough, for the same can be said of its author. A former Marine pilot and current backwoods intellectual, idealist, iconoclast, and, yes, hunter, Dave Petersen defies categorization as adroitly as his terrific prose.... I know deer hunters, bear hunters, and sheep hunters, but I don't know anyone else who identifies as completely with one species of game as Dave Petersen identifies with elk. This book's title goes beyond metaphor; the guy is made of elk.

This invaluable book includes:

- basic and advanced hunting strategies, including spot-and-stalk hunting, ambush hunting, still hunting, drive hunting, and backpack hunting

- how to find hunting locations, on both public and private land, and how to locate areas that other hunters aren't using

- how to plan and pack for backcountry hunts
- instructions on how to break down any big-game animal and transport it from your hunting site
- how to butcher your own big-game animals and select the proper cuts for sausages, roasts, and steaks, and how to utilize underappreciated cuts such as ribs and shanks
- cooking techniques and recipes, for both outdoor and indoor preparation of wild game

Becoming a master hunter has never been so easy!

Meat Eater chronicles Steven Rinella's lifelong relationship with nature and hunting through the lens of ten hunts, beginning when he was an aspiring mountain man at age ten and ending as a thirty-seven-year-old Brooklyn father who hunts in the remotest corners of North America. He tells of having a struggling career as a fur trapper just as fur prices were falling; of a dalliance with catch-and-release steelhead fishing; of canoeing in the Missouri Breaks in search of mule deer just as the Missouri River was freezing up one November; and of hunting the elusive Dall sheep in the glaciated mountains of Alaska.

A thrilling storyteller, Rinella grapples with themes such as the role of the hunter in shaping America, the vanishing frontier, the ethics of killing, and the disappearance of the hunter himself as consumers lose their connection with the way their food finds its way to their tables. The result is a loving portrait of a way of life that is part of who we are--as humans and as Americans.

After much encouragement, I wrote this book to document the many lessons learned from my years hunting the elusive Coues. It is for all of you who share this passion for hunting and killing big Coues deer bucks.

In 2002, I took my first Coues buck, and the ride began. This morphed into a couple decades obsession to kill these big mature Coues bucks. I'm an Arizona guy, and these are all Arizona bucks. All of them were taken DIY. Four of them grossed over 120 inches, including the 141-inch Pope and Young gross (143-inch SCI) archery buck from 2016, the still standing Pope and Young velvet nontypical world record. I've included a lot of other bucks in these chapters, as well as the fundamental and unorthodox ways I've hunted and killed them.

If you are reading this, the fire probably already burns within. I hope this stokes it!

This is a book about hunting the elusive Coues Deer, otherwise known as the Great Ghost.

Outside a remote village in Russia's Far East a man-eating tiger is on the prowl. The tiger isn't just killing people, it's murdering them, almost as if it has a vendetta. A team of trackers is dispatched to hunt down the tiger before it strikes again. They know the creature is cunning, injured, and starving, making it even more dangerous. As John Vaillant re-creates these extraordinary events, he gives us an unforgettable and masterful work of narrative nonfiction that combines a riveting portrait of a stark and mysterious region of the world and its people, with the natural history of nature's most deadly predator.

In hunting, the finding and killing of the game is after all but a part of the whole. The

free, self-reliant, adventurous life, with its rugged and stalwart democracy; the wild surroundings, the grand beauty of the scenery, the chance to study the ways and habits of the

woodland creatures all these unite to give to the career of the wilderness hunter its peculiar

charm. --Theodore Roosevelt, The Wilderness Hunter

The Wilderness Hunter (1893), by Theodore Roosevelt, describes hunting of many kinds of game, from blacktail deer to antelope, bighorn sheep, moose, and elk. Roosevelt shows his love for the outdoors in a colorful and vivid manner.

This is a modern-day adventure based on a true story in America's last great wilderness, Alaska. It is a tale about a hunting expedition that quickly goes sideways. Two friends find themselves battling for survival among bear attacks, failing equipment, and deadly weather. These two not only survive but thrive with cool heads, trust in each other, and a positive outlook. This story is a true page-turner that thrusts the reader into the story as if they were side by side in this tale. Try not to get Cari-ed Away!
