Q:
Is anyone here familiar with the books by Robert Raurk? I just read the Horn of the Hunter and loved it. I have a hard time finding them in my local books store so please let me know you're personal favorite and why.

Horn of the hunter is good but I think Use Enough Gun is a tad better. Google Safari Press or Amazon books they'll ship them right out.
You can get them at a bargain price on Ebay. Note that Horn and Use Enough gun both have some of the same material.
No but they sound interesting.
Agreed on Use Enough Gun.
Also check out Death in the Long Grass by Peter Hathaway Capstick.
Sir, I have The Old Man and the Boy right in front of me, which is all I have read by Ruark up to now, and which I recommend of ANY AND ALL hunters. Instantly recognizable as a classic, despite its relative obscurity. His books are in fact hard to get hold of. My dept. chair at the high school where I teach gave it to me because I am an outdoors writer in addition to being an English teacher. Semper Fi. riograndeoutdoors.com.
Get the Lost Classics for Safari Press. A great way to get to "know" Robert Ruark's gift for writing.
