5.0 out of 5 stars A lot of good information - even for the novice hunter, September 3, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Advanced Whitetail Hunting (The Complete Hunter) (Hardcover)

In spite of being a beginning hunter, I found this book to be a good resource. Many illustrations, and discussion on basic technique. (Of course, a major focus of the book is how to bag that trophy buck, so most discussions tend in that direction.) I've found there are two types of hunting books, stories and "how to do it". This book is in the latter category and is what I was looking for. How to: Still hunt, stand hunt, track in the snow, reduce scent, scout, etc. I first checked it out from our library, and now I'm getting a copy for my own.

This book is a really good "how to" book on hunting Whitetails. My only complaint is that sometimes I would have liked longer explainations on the tactics. This book tells you what to do, I would have liked a little more on why you should do it. Again, this is just a minor thing, overall the book was great and very informative.
