Ishi & Elvis
1995, hardcover edition, Bois d' Arc Press, Azle, TX. A very attractive book indeed, with lovely b&w drawings throughout. 153 pages. The author, who writes articles for outdoor magazines, was previously known for his several titles on natural archery and wooden bows. Here he tells of some overgrazed ranch land he buys and the crafty whitetail monarch who is elusive, to say the least. Here is their tale of hunter and animal, squaring off against each other, as the author gradually begins to renew his new-found ranch. Lovely writing; a real feel for the outdoor life.

Fall has arrived in Texas and that means hunting season is here. I’ve never bow hunted but this book may have pushed me over the edge.

Still an all time favorite.
Captures the spirit and feel of connecting with the land. As someone who met the author and was related to someone who worked with him closely in Texas, it's an odd feeling to read Jim's musings on the multi-generational nature of caring for the land and nurturing the native species in the years after his passing.
