Great Book on “Famous” Bowhunters
I came across this info and mini-review on Bowsite.com. I have corresponded briefly with MR James in the past, and I always have enjoyed his writing. This book looks very interesting, and as soon as I get a copy, I’ll post a review. The name of the book is “45 Unforgettable Bowhunters”.
An excerpt from the Bowsite piece:
CHECK OUT THE EARLIEST Pope & Young Club record books and you can find the name of Robert C. Hansen. In fact, at one time the transplanted Iowan claimed several noteworthy Alaskan bowhunting successes, including the world record Dall’s sheep and the number two barren ground caribou, both tagged in 1971.
But that was long before the smallish, acne-scarred, bespectacled and stuttering sadist was exposed as a cruel killer who preferred hunting and killing a different kind of game: topless dancers and prostitutes. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Hansen routinely abducted women from the seamier sections of Anchorage, flew them in his Super Cub to a wilderness cabin, then savagely raped and further brutalized them.
Finally, he released his terrified captors – naked, disoriented and alone – into the surrounding woods. Later Hansen calmly picked up his rifle, tracked down his fleeing prey and shot each woman dead.

From Pat Lefemine, Bowsite Founder:
“The Book you absolutely can not put down!”
When MR James sent me a copy of his new book “Unforgettable Bowhunters” my first reaction was it was another book highlighting the hero’s I knew all too well. What I discovered was a book that is an absolute must for every bowhunter’s bookcase and one that I absolutely could not put down! Spotlighting the Good, the Great, and even the Worst bowhunters that ever lived. A candid, and brutally honest piece that will make you laugh, make you angry, and even scare the hell out of you. I have never recommended a book more than I do this one.
