Lol- he's my great uncle - Keith Severinsen. I didnt know him very well. He died in 2005. That book is a hard to read. It was his first I think.. 'Tracks of a hunter' and 'hunt the far mountain' are a lot easier to read. It was reading these when I was younger that got me interested in deer hunting.

Hemingway can be that way sometimes. I think it was his journal/diary so maybe it wasn't written to be published and read in that way.

The venison hunters Mike Bennett

mate! kiwi hunting books are tops! dave radcliffs two books era gone , and scacred ground are both a dam good read. also wayne blakes two books, another top read. kiwi hunting at its best. late 60s into the 70s both of these guys did it for a living, and know their shit.! cant beat, experience. also don kiddie legend hunter, his book is also very good.

I read A Good Keen Man by Crump while away for a week hunting recently, thoroughly enjoyed it as I do all his writing.

I just got a book which is a compilation of Philip Holden stories and great photography called Hunting and High Country - got it for $15 at Paper Plus and I'm slowly getting through it, its a great coffee table book - I'm very tempted to buy Pack and Rifle after reading a bit of it.

Two dogs and a rifle Ken Cuthberson is another good pig hunting book, must have been awesome days

yip thats a good read two, i was up that valley not long ago, pretty wild country
