A Journey of Solitude, Spirit, and the Wild Pursuit
Step into the untamed with legendary woodsman Mike Mitten in The Enchantment of Bowhunting—a deeply personal collection of wilderness stories, reflections, and spiritual insight drawn from a life lived close to the land.
From solo moose hunts in the remote North to intimate encounters with whitetails, bears, turkeys, and more. Mike invites you to walk beside him—arrow nocked, senses sharpened, heart open. Each chapter immerses you in the elemental beauty of the hunt: the flutter of feathers in flight, the hush of snow beneath your boots, the electric stillness when you know you're being watched.
But this book is more than just the chase. It’s about what bowhunting gives back. It's about reverence for life, the quiet strength of solitude, and the whispered prayers of gratitude offered over a campfire's flicker or a heavy pack in bear country.
With prose as raw and reverent as the experiences it captures, The Enchantment of Bowhunting is a celebration of traditional archery, wild places, and the deeper meaning found in the pursuit.
Praise, prayer, and predator tracks—it’s all here.
Let this book guide you into the wilderness… and perhaps closer to God’s heart.

"Mike has captured the passion for traditional bowhunting from the spinning feathers of an arrow in flight, to the blood trail, to the prayer of thankfulness for a tagged animal. The pages of this book flowed from the heart of a man after God's own heart. The Enchantment of Bowhunting is a careful stalk through the wilderness of solitude. It's the tingling of the hair feeling of being watched from the shadows; it's the ivory flash of an antler caught by a ray of sunlight; it's the earthy smell of raw meat while packing moose in dense brush in bear country, and the soft glow of a small fire warming your face as a wolf moans a stones-throw away."
