what are some good books?

[ferjr]

i was just wandering what people thought was some good books with good stories on hounds and hunting with hounds? i just bought del camerons, call of the hounds, found it on the internet, it is the first edition, first copy, signed by dell cameron to pete evans. i got a good deal on it, about half way done reading it and enjoy it very much. what are some more good ones i should get?

ferjr, don't pay any attention to him. He has no respect for anyone, doesn't contribute anything to this site and constantly tries to stir up trouble. Which works out fine because no one has any respect for him either.

[ferjr]

boy you are 100% correct on that one, thanks fullcryhounds.

Slash Ranch hounds-by Dub Evans, Cougar killer-Jay Bruce, Lion Tales by J Kibler, Hunting North American lions- Frank hibbens, Long Walkers- jerry lewis are all good books worth reading

I have a large list of all the book titles I have found. I have purchased from Amazon, Abebooks, High Lonesome books, and on Ebay. Just figured out what I wanted to read and started doing internet searches.

My theory is hunt as much as possible and fill your free time reading what others have done.

Meet Mr. Grizzly by Montague Stevens is an extremely entertaining book.
The Life and Times of Ollie Barney is also an excellent read.
It catches some flack now and then on here, but History of American Lion Hunting by Wiley Carroll is filled with useful knowledge and good stories.

[Swamp Valley Kennels]

a great one is "Lion Hound" by Jim Kjelgaard
