Thank you very much, LM_NET subscribers. I received numerous replies to my request
for nonfiction hunting and fishing book ideas for our middle school. I wish I could
include all the annotated bibliographic information provided, but I listed just the
titles and authors for the sake of space. Here is a list of ideas compiled from the
following contributors: Karen Smith, Valerie Brunner, Cheryl Youse, Mary Melaugh,
Donna Nix, Suzanne Costner, Melissa Davis, Virginia Martin, Sheri Zachary, Anne
Oelke, Vicki Reutter, Kay Goss, Joanne Ladewig, and Nancy Dickinson. Thanks!

Other suggestions were to contact my state's hunting and fishing agency for
suggestions, use TitleWave to select books with the subjects of "hunting" and
"fishing", and research through Boy Scouts, Boys Life, the American Rifle
Association, sporting goods stores, and large libraries (adult and juvenile).
Hope these ideas can also help anyone else looking for ideas on the topic of
hunting and fishing.
