Default Hunting books?

Have you read any good Bowhunting or hunting books lately?
My top three are "Life at full draw" Chuck Adams , "Backcountry bowhunting" Cameron Hanes, and "Home of the Bighorn" Ken Nowicki .
I would love something with a lot of sheep hunts in it. But what ever you think is good.

Not a bowhunting book but Elk hunting by Wayne Van Zoll is a good read. helpful to any type of hunter.

Any sheep hunting fan should do him/herself a favour and buy Great Rams and Great Rams II by Robert Anderson. Amazing books, although mostly old pictures, etc.

i just read "Adventures of a Big Game Guide"
and it was really good and had quite a bit of sheep hunting, but it was more of a novel/true story.
(i forget the authurs name)

i was hunting south africa last year and stayed at Dr Adrian Devilliars place.
he gave me his signed numbered book on african bowhunting, its quite incredible he's pulling 120lbs, using 1000gr arrows for cape buf, leopards, rhino. and so on. he's arrowed something like 500 animals.
no BH sheep in it, but interesting read for sure. PM me if you want to borrow it.

Default Bow hunting books

You could not go wrong with any bow hunting book by Gene Wensel. I particularly recommend "Come November". I would call this the thinking man's Whitetail book for hunting the rut.
