Schmitty Report post Posted December 2, 2008 I read it a few years back. As I live up here in Prescott, it was interesting that I know alot of folks in the tales and being familiar with most of the locations where the stories take place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billrquimby Report post Posted December 2, 2008 Amazon has six used copies for $48 each from the website below. It was published by Ralph Tanner Associates, and not Wolffe Publishing. I thought it was about 15 years ago, when it actually came out in 1984. Time flies, but I still remember the tales of his mule deer hunts on the Strip. http://www.amazon.com/They-Call-Me-Hunter-...s/dp/0942078098 Bill Quimby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tivaluver Report post Posted March 13, 2011 Hey I'm the niece of Hunter Wells, and sadly I never got to meet him. Since I have read that atleast one of you guys have the book I was wondering if on the back of the book if it has a picture of him? My family is not in the state with the picture of him and I really wanted to know what he looks like. Could you tell me? If not that ok I'll keep looking for something about him. I'm told I'm like him and we shared a passion of horses. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks " I have a copy on a shelf someplace (I have more than 2,500 hunting books), but if I remember correctly there is a photograph of him on the cover page of the dust jacket. I'll scan and post it after I find it tomorrow. A quick check showed Amazon.com has a copy for $60 plus shipping and handling. Alibris.com has several, ranging from about $80 to $265. The top end is for a leather bound collector's copy from a limited edition of 100. If someone is interested in my regular copy, PM me. I'll sell it for $55, media mail postage included. At my age, it's time to start thinning my stuff. My family won't know what to do with everything I've accumulated over the past 75 years. As an old timer once told me, "What bothers me most about about dying is knowing that my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them."

2 Full Curls Report post Posted March 14, 2011 This book is unarguably the best hunting book I have ever read.. A trip back to the good ole days for sure. I always read a short story out of it before I go to bed before a morning of hunting. It gets me pumped every time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
