Different times require different reads.
I enjoyed Babcock’s stories then, Buckingham’s, and Hemingway’s.
Now? Nickerson, and old tomes about the birth of conservation and game management.
Are you looking for fiction? Non fiction?
Out there doing it best I can.

Shooter’s Delight, C. W. Thurlow Craig, Hutchinson 1952, surprising breadth, sound advice and great fun.
The Art of Shooting by “Charles Lancaster” (H.A. Thorn) 1906, my shooting grandfather’s 7th Edition .
Shooting, 2 volumes, “Field and Covert” and “Moor and Marsh”, Badminton Library, also my grandfather’s.
Close runners up, The Sporting Rifle and its Use in Britain, Henry Tegner (“The Ruffle”) and his other works, “The Gun” W.W. Greener and so many others!

Game warden, Chesapeake Bay Assignment. Willie Parker. I knew him, knew those he was after, heck was one myself almost once. When I read it I know almost the exact place and people he writes about. Truth is his version is fairly close to the truth.
