Favorite gun or hunting book?

Rembrandt

Every gun show has a table for the book collectors and readers. I seem to keep collecting these for reference and enjoyment. Much like guns, we all seem to have our favorites...mine would have to be Safari Press's "Great Hunters" and their Trophy rooms (Vol 1,2,3) By far the most enjoyable collection of game photographs and trophy rooms I've ever seen. Sort of like Better Homes & Gardens for the Hunter. http://www.safaripress.com/shop/greathuntersvolonethyroomsandcollections.html http://www.safaripress.com/shop/greathuntersvoltwothyroomsandcollections.html http://www.safaripress.com/shop/greathuntersvolthreeyroomsandcollections.html What are your favorites?

Also, I think if the owners of this site were to go through all the forums of this site, all the archives, they could write a damn good book of anecdotes, informative material, and general knowledge, that would probably, if expertly done, make one hell of a lot of money, if marketed properly.

Want to read a GREAT hunting book?Check out "A Look at Life From A Deer Stand" by Steve Chapman. He's a great writer and a great hunter, too. I read it on my deer stand last year! FANTASTIQUE!I loaned it to a deer hunter friend this year to read on his stand. He liked it, too.Bonne Chasse!
