Backcountry Bowhunting
Author: Cameron Hanes. Publisher: Eastmans
I have subscribed to Eastman’s Bowhunting Journal for 2 years now and have read a few of their books. Reading their literature is very inspiring and encouraging for hunters to get off the beaten path and go live up on the peak of a mountain for 10 days "DIY (do it yourself)" to bag your quarry. This thought can be intimidating to those who mainly hunt farm land, forest roads, or go on guided ranches to shoot their animal.
Learning from those who do it the hard way, on their own, in the disparity of the high country’s solitude is very inspiring for those whom crave challenge, like me for example. Reading Eastman’s literature enlightened me to a whole new world of opportunities and challenges, let me just say that there is nothing more satisfying than hiking up a seemingly insurmountable peak and living on your pack for nights on end. You get a great sense of accomplishment while realizing how small and fragile us humans are when exposed to the elements at high altitudes. No doubt, DIY hunts can be very rewarding but they also need a lot of preparation. The right gear, training, and mental preparedness has to be in tact.
One who wants to venture out into the high country has alot of knowledge to accumulate before commencing, and Backcountry Bowhunting by Cameron Hanes is a great guide to inform you on what to expect on your next alpine adventure. I recommend this great guide to anyone who wants to learn the gear, strategies, food requirements, and mental toughness required to start venturing on these excruisiating but rewarding journeys. 4 out of 5 stars!
