It can be fiction, non fiction, historical or even biographical. Just looking for something about the great outdoors, hunting or fishing expedition, mountain men, frontiersmen, pioneers. You get the idea.

I stopped reading for pleasure when I went back to grad school. There isn't much good on tv anymore so I figure I will get back into reading before bed. I haven't read a really good book in a while so please help me out.

"Walk in the Woods" by Bill Bryson. A good read!

The Frontiersmen is an excellent book.

A great book by a great man that had a lot to do with all of us here "Hell I Was There" by Mr. Elmer Keith if you can find one its definately worth the read.

"Horn of the Hunter", by Robert Ruark, or any of P.H. Capsticks books.

For sure Southerngunner! And he spent his early years not to far from where i grew up here in Montana.
Also, if you are looking for a really outdoors type book, you might try "Woodcraft" by Nessmuk, it is mostly about camping and fishing but a great look back at how they used to do it.
+1 on anything by O'Connor, he is one of the true hunting greats.
I also like "The Man-eaters of Kumaon" by Jim Corbett, about hunting tigers and leopards in India back in the day, men were alot tougher then!

Lot of great input here, thank you. I think I am going to start with the "walk in the woods" or the "Hell I was there"

any fictional novels on the subject?
