This is definately one of the best books about hunting the whitetail deer I have read in a long time. Very refreshing. If you are looking for a how to kill a big buck book, this is not it. However, if you want to read a book that transports you to your favorite whitetail haunts this is for you. I found myself not only remembering vividly past hunts but also the feeling of those hunts and the characters involved. This books helps get us in touch with answers to the age old question - Why do we hunt? What makes hunting so special? Don't get the impression this is a heavy philsophical read, it isn't. Just a lot of fun. A truly great and entertaining book.

Autumn Moons & Whitetail Dreams: Portraits Of The American Deer Hunter by hunting and trapping expert Michael Duarte is a fascinating, engaging, anecdotal, occasional humorous, and always informative chronicle of what it means to hunt the whitetail deer. Duarte ranges from the joy of experiencing nature to the hot-blooded thrill of the hunt itself. A profound and insightful compendium of reflections on the phenomena of hunting, and an emotional memoir brimming with personal experiences, Autumn Moons & Whitetail Dreams is welcome and rewarding reading for anyone who has ever taken rifle or camera and gone in search of the whitetail deer!

Just finished the book. Some tips on white-tail deer hunting mixed with short stories of hunts from some real cool old timers. Highly recommended!cc
