'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.

Keiths museum at Ashley Clinton is a must visit for all hunters.

Joff Thompsons books are good reading,Tough buggers.

As far as I know they were named in honour of him.

In Search Of The Wild Red Deer- Charlie Shuttleworth. These guys are my idols, my great grandad was hunting in the whitcombe area in the same time and got some good heads. I've see most of the country up there, love the place.

madjon right those guys were tough dudes, no choppers, polarfleece, cookers, flash packs, sat phones, range finders, dia up scopes, or any scopes for that matter. just a few more deer and less people.
