One last author no one has mentioned, Patrick McManus. He was a humorist who wrote a number of articles in outdoor magazines that always reminded me of "The Old Man And The Boy", only funnier. His articles were consolidated into 5 or 6 books including A fine And Pleasant Misery", "They Shoot canoes, Don't They?", "Never Sniff A Gift Fish" etc. most of his stories will make you laugh out loud. His best, in my opinion, details his first deer hunt which required him to peddle his bike to the top of a mountain, passing a number of deer camps on the way. At the top, he shoots his first deer. At the time he did not realize that he had only stunned it with a horn hit. Since all he had was his bike. He set the deer on the back fender and draped its front legs over his shoulders. On the way down the mountain, passing one of the deer camps, the deer comes to........

I'll second Corey Ford. He is one of my favorites. When a lot of us were just kids we lived vicariously through the characters he wrote of in "Tales of The Lower Forty" in Field & Stream magazine.

Nobody could name characters like McManus. Remember Retch McSweeny?
