I haven’t given up hunting. In fact, I’m hunting more than ever.
So here’s what I’d like to do. These books are free to the first person asking for each book. (Please don’t ask for me to send all of them to 1 person). Take and enjoy the books then pass them on. It would be nice if they could keep circulating around so that others could enjoy. Many of these would be great for kids or grandkids to read. Not all are hunting related, but most are.
I’m not asking for any money and will mail them at my expense. When you are done it would be great if you pass it on so others can enjoy. It’s not an obligation but a simple suggestion.
The first person that asks will get the book. Send me a private message and give me the shipping details. As the books get sent out I’ll cross them off the list.
I also have a small number of fly fishing books and may post them if there’s enough interest.

This is a great idea thanks!
I think this is a great idea. I've got some books that I could kick in down the line. Maybe the recipients can sign them or jot a note in the book before passing it along.
If I'm lucky enough to receive them I'll ship them right to you.
My wife and I are doing some serious spring cleaning. I may retire next year and really don't want to store all this stuff. We're finding stuff we forget we even had.
With us looking at retirement there are some things we just don't need. I'll be an Ebayin' fool. In fact, I have a copy of 'Hunting Rutting Whitetails' I plan to sell. I was floored to find this book is fairly valuable....plus it's autographed.
I have a huge collection of National Geographic's I'm going to give away. If anyone is in Colorado and wants some old(er) National Geographic magazines you are more than welcome to come get them. Most are from the 80's and 90's but some are from the 50's, 60's and 70's.
I don't want to haul all this stuff to Wyoming.
I'm still pretty busy. You enjoy them at your leisure. If you're willing to pass them along later, I'd be glad to give them a read and move them to someone else along with a couple of additional books.
I'm going to try and get these sorted out and mailed by this weekend and I'll let folks know what they've been sent.
I've had some duplicate requests for some of the books so it would be nice if the folks receiving them forward them to the next requester. I'll try to keep this all straight and post who should get it next.
That's a great idea about initialing the inside.I'm lad others will get the chance to enjoy the books.
Thanks again for your generosity!
Thanks again for your generosity!!! You're enriching many lives with this gesture.
I've pm'd many of you. So if you could please pass on to the next person when done.
Very cool of you to start this Medicine Bow!
Thank you and best wishes.
I'd suggest using this (or another) thread to see if anyone else would like to read a book you have finished. It's been fun trying to keep this straight! I apologize if I've made any mistakes....I tried to get the books out to the first requestors.
If you asked for a book and I told you I was sending it they should have all arrived. There are a couple more requests for some books and I'll be responding to those shortly.

New to the list:
'A Treasury of Outdoor Life'- Various Authors

PM Redoak for availability.
Teeton, I hope you enjoyed the book. I really don't recall who asked for it next. The PM's don't stay around long. But, Soloman has asked for it on this thread.
Soloman has asked on here so unless someone PM'd me before 26 Apr. he should be next.
I hope everyone is having a great hunting season.
