Fishin' and Huntin' Stories

[rockpt]

Anyone recommend any good books with northwoods fishin' and huntin' stories to get me thru the winter?

For fishing try North with Doc by Greg Knowles. If you like fly fishing and waterfowling stories check out the Gordon Macquarrie trilogy. For upland game hunting try A hunter's road by Jim Fergus. Another good book I just finished reading is Tales from the Marsh and other Drivel by Leonard Lisenbee. These are a number of short stories by a retired game warden. And lastly if you want a funny coffee table book, check out Misery Loves Company from Ducks Unlimited.

for a mix of both with great humour read the patrick mcmanus series
i have read and re-read them all over the years
my wife cannot understand how you can suddenly break out laughing while reading

Man-walleye,
I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who has read and re-read almost every one of McManus' books. You have to have a slightly bizarre sense of humor, but I can laugh till I cry when reading his stuff. I would love to meet the man.

it is the rest of the people with the weird sense of humour...
