billinthewildSixty Years A Hunter, Bill Quimby
Our good friend Bill Quimby finally has his book now available from Safari Press. I have read it, and it is a truly great story of his hunting life and experiences. Not only has Bill hunted every continent, and some several times, his hunting exploits in the USA are fascinating as well. As one time editor of SCI publications, and a former outdoor writer for the Tucson newspapers, he brings to this book a lifetime of personal experiences that are a pleasure to read about. And if his life as a hunter was not enough, remember that he has written, and ghost written, books about some of the legendary hunters of our time. Sixty Years A Hunter is not a "how to do it" book, it is a book about a man's hunting life, a warm and personal story and a man who has done it all.
If you would like a signed copy, send Bill a PM.

billinthewildShakari.....didn't you and I share some comments awhile back about single malt Scotch? If so, I have a new one for you to try. If not, well, get on board.
And by the way, you will enjoy Bill's work.

shakariBill,
We did indeed discuss malts and I'd be very interested to hear your recommendation(s)
I always do enjoy Bill's work and will look forward to reading this one.

shakariThanks, I'll look for it tomorrow...... is it an Islay?

shakariAh, just found it on the net and it is an Islay....... I'll look for it tomorrow but it might be hard to find as it looks like they have limited production.

shakariI tried half a dozen places today but none had it and none could order it.....
I'll keep looking though and I may well fly to the UK earlyish next year and if I do, I'll get a bottle there.
Thanks for the tip though!

billrquimbyYes, I'll be signing books at SCI in Reno. The time and the day hasn't been set yet, but I assume it will be posted at the Safari Press booth. Would love to also sign books elsewhere, Rich, but unfortunately it won't happen.

Michael RobinsonBill, I have made it known in certain (I hope influential) circles that your new book is on my Christmas list.
I am looking forward to reading it.
