In Their Own Words
"An instant classic a book for the ages!"
The Editors of Christensen's Hunting Illustrated Magazine
"Great hunter, great book! Dennis Dunn has by 40 years of hunting accomplishments,
and now by written accomplishment set an example for all hunters.
In BAREBOW! he teaches, inspires, and enthralls in equal measure. It
takes desire and motivation to hunt the wild animals of North America. To hunt
all of them takes even more of each, and then to hunt all of them with a bow
and arrow, takes the most determined hunter of all. Dennis is such a man, and
his book is the story of that quest a "must-read" for any hunter who aspires
to do great and near-impossible things."
Jim Shockey,
Author, Photographer, Wilderness Guide and Outfitter,
Host of Jim Shockey's Hunting Adventures on The Outdoor Channel
"Dennis Dunn breaks new and fertile ground in this unique, beautifully
illustrated book. If you hunt or even if you don't you can sit back with your
copy in hand and simply enjoy the experience. I guarantee you that BAREBOW!
is a refreshing armchair adventure."
M. R. James,
BOWHUNTER Magazine Founder
"In sharing campfires and dinner tables with Dennis Dunn, I have learned that
nobody has more hunting stories to tell, a greater mind for details, nor more
enthusiasm for bowhunting, than Dennis. For him, every bowhunt becomes an
adventure, and now his adventures can become yours through these pages.
Don't miss your spot at the campfire!"
Dwight Schuh,
Editor of BOWHUNTER Magazine
"What Dennis has compiled in this book is a major literary achievement in
outdoor literature. BAREBOW! is the epitome of that often used clichι "coffee
table book": it weighs in at a hefty nine pounds, with over 500 glossy pages,
and measures 15.5" by 10.3". You NEED a coffee table to hold this tome as you
read it! And what a read it is!"
T. J. Conrads,
TRADITIONAL BOWHUNTER Magazine Founder/Publisher
"Dennis Dunn's new book "BAREBOW!" is not just another book about our great
sport it's an inside look from the body and soul of a bowhunter. Dennis'
Pope and Young barebow Super Slam (29) was not only a first, but his Grizzly
became a world record. Yes, Dennis did it all under fair chase conditions and
with proper respect to all game."
Doug Walker,
Bowhunters Hall of Famer, 1991
"An exceptional book a must-read for any hunter, young or old. Dennis has
set a new gold standard for hunting books that is worthy of top-shelf in any
hunter's library."
Jack Smythe,
Senior Member - Pope & Young Club

BloodBrotherhood."

have you sitting on the edge of your chair, as if you were bowhunting

John J. Jackson, III,

people who will never hunt WHY others do."
Wayne van Zwoll
"Destined to become one of the most coveted hunting books of
all time."
Dr. J. Y. Jones,
Outdoor Writer and Author, One Man - One Rifle - One Land
"Your labor of love is an answer to prayer. You possess a unique gift of being able to verbally paint such a vivid, realistic portrait of your unforgettable mountaintop experiences. Thank you for sharing your hunts and for rekindling precious memories of my own past adventures. I appreciate your reminding me through your writing of those truly life-defining experiences!"
Peeler G. Lacey,
Regular Member - Pope & Young Club
There have been so few archers to take all of the huntable North American big game species, and Dennis has done all of us a great service by documenting so many of his hunts for these tremendous trophy animals. As for the art work featured in BAREBOW!, I consider the Lambsons to be two of the finest wildlife artists of all time. Thanks, Dennis, Hayden and Dallen, for dedicating so much of your time to producing this wonderful book."
Dennis Campbell,
Executive Director, Grand Slam Club/Ovis
"BAREBOW! is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! WOW! You pulled out all the stops for this one! It will be a classic to treasure for generations. Congratulations!"
King Cavalier II,
Founder/President, King of the Mountain, Inc.
"Dennis Dunn does not just tell hunting stories! He shares his dreams, his victories, his disappointments, his wisdom, and he teaches from his knowledge and experience. BAREBOW! will not only acquaint you with the sweet taste of success and the bitter agony of defeat; it will convince you that well-regulated hunting sustains the use of wildlife and gives the animals increased value to justify their conservation and preservation."
Archie J. Nesbitt,
International bowhunter, winner of the 2008 OVIS Award
"Readers will experience the drama, suspense, humor and spirituality that define hunting and wilderness exploration in Dennis Dunn's BAREBOW! -- a perfect gift for family, friends and volunteers."
Elizabeth M. Madison,
Conservationist
"With passion, ethics and beauty, Dennis Dunn's accounting of his extraordinary hunting feat will not only engage you, but it will instill in you a real sense of the magic of nature and the deep primal urge to hunt animals in a manner that affords them the greatest advantage, and challenges the hunter most. A thoroughly enjoyable book."
James A. Swan, PH.D.,
Author, In Defense of Hunting, Columnist, ESPN Outdoors.com
"Dennis I just wanted to drop you a note and say what a fantastic read your book was! I felt you did a great job with the lay-out and all the information that you provided. Mostly, though, I really enjoyed your writing style: very descriptive but not above the average guy's head. BAREBOW will be on the "top shelf" of my library and one of my most prized books ever."
Tim Donnelly,
Pope & Young Club Member and Official Measurer
"Dunn's quest for each animal is described in detail, in effect presenting an unfolding hunter's autobiography. He writes well, and his words make it obvious that his senses embrace the ethos of the hunt mood, setting, spirituality, and the bittersweetness of that magical moment when an arrow flies on a true, telling path to its target. This is a book to be read and pondered by anyone who treasures fine writing, holds a deep appreciation for wild places and the animals that inhabit them, or who seeks a full under-standing of the special link between predator and prey that bowhunting provides."
Dr.Jim Casada,
SPORTING CLASSICS Magazine
"Through his epic journey of perseverance and ultimate accomplishment, Dennis has given us a profound view of the hunter-conservationist role we must all assume in order to preserve our wildlife and hunting heritage."
Ricardo Longoria,
Passionate Bowhunter and Conservationist
"The value to humanity of this book will grow the longer it is shared with friends and family. I suspect that in time it will be considered the premier classic in the world of bowhunting."
Curtis Hermann,
Western States Coordinator, National Bowhunter Education Foundation
