Product Description
Synopsis
In this entertaining collection of memoirs, Don Thomas takes readers to places few will ever have a chance to explore. His deep respect for the wildness of nature is ever-present as he recounts the country, people, and animals he encountered during archery expeditions in Alaska and Siberia. Whether pursuing open-country caribou, stalking Russian rams, or quietly observing black bears on the coast of Alaska, Thomas' vivid descriptions of the Arctic wilderness convey the wonder inherent in the hunting experience.

As a traditional bowhunter, I found Dr. Thomas' stories to be not only informative but delightfully entertaining. He brings out not only the adventure of the hunt but the ethics of the sport. He has taken us to places that few will be able to go and made us see them through the eyes of a hunter and naturalist. He shows us that it is the hunt that matters, not the harvest. His ethical approach to our sport is a lesson to all who bowhunt. I can not recommend this book more highly. Whether you hunt with modern Hi-Tech equipment or carry a stick bow this book is required reading

This far outshines the vast majority of modern hunting literature. I love the fact that not every story ends with a successful kill.

Lonbows in the Far North by E. Donnall Thomas
Ethics and good taste, intelligence,knowledge and a special style of writing makes this book a winner on short stories of his observations,endurance and good humour. He doen't just want to be out there killing everything is sight. His anticipation starts from when the boots go on. Every shoot is not successful in a trophy,but it is award winning in the enjoyment of his pursuit.
