In reviewing this old thread, I missed a few I have really enjoyed:

J.A. Hunter - Hunter
Elgin Gates - Trophy Hunting in Asia; in Africa
John Burger - Horned Death
Samuel White Baker - Nile Tributaries of .........Abyssinia

Add Jim Corbett to the list even though he wrote about India.

Saxton Pope....the Master!! Love his books.

I also enjoy Rusty Annabel-Great Alaska hunting stories.

James Clark-His book the Great Arc of Wild Sheep is great and should be in every mountain hunters library.

Gene Wensel's books on Whitetail hunting are excellent.

Marvin Clark's books on P&T, Kodiak and the big bears there are becoming classic's already!

Many other fantastic Authors, new and old.
