Better buy for the ($) buck!,
This review is from: Hunting Big Woods Bucks (Hardcover)
Worth reading. Having read Larry Benoit (How to Bag the biggest buck of your life), there are several similarities. However, Hal goes one step further by discussing several methods of bagging that trophy buck. I did note that both hunters use the same firearm (Remington 30-06 pump w/iron sights).Personally, I feel this is a better book for the buck (pun intended)with multiple ways of getting the biggest buck of your life. Hal's book gives you a good start on what to look for when beginning tracking, stand hunting, using a grunt tube etc. Larry Benoit covers tracking only. Personally, I feel this book covers tracking equally as well as Larry Benoit does w/his book. Do what I did read em both, but if your budget is tight I'd buy this one!

Better for the Northern Hunter,

This review is from: Hunting Big Woods Bucks (Hardcover)
This book really seems to cover the most effective hunting tactics for those of us in the colder climates. It deals with tracking (especially in snow) quite a bit. It also deals with deer behavior and the probable reasons for this behavior. I have learned a lot from this book and plan on using the tactics explained and looking for bucks in places covered here. I love how the lessons learned are interspersed with good hunting stories to back up the lesson. Not all the stories are success stories either. Mr Blood does a good job explaining the hunt and respecting it, whether it leads to a harvest or not.

No way does Hal take a backseat to the Berniers or Benoits!,

This review is from: Hunting Big Woods Bucks (Hardcover)
I have all their books, all provide some interesting reading. I find Hals book straight to the point, full of good tips and he doesnt even spend 1/2 the time tooting his own horn like in the others books. Hals book is 1 to keep for a lifetime, a reference book.
