5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Choice For Any Deer Hunter, December 16, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: John Ozoga's Whitetail Intrigue: Scientific Insights for White-Tailed Deer Hunters (Hardcover)

It is not often that one encounters a book that answers long standing questions, especially those that arise from the contradictions found in the popular deer hunting press. There is nothing Gee Whiz about Mr. Ozoga, he tells it like he sees it. When he doesn't know he tells you that too. This book is based on 30 years observation and experimentation on white tails at the Cusino Wildlife Research Station and dispels many of the myths and folklore regarding deer.

Be aware, however, that this book is not easy reading, but seems to be based on the discussion and conclusion sections of his research papers. It is approachable and yields to the diligent reader. It is well worth the effort and the price.

I agree wholeheartedly with Mr. Barton's review.

5.0 out of 5 stars John Ozoga Whitetail Intrigue, June 1, 2001

This review is from: John Ozoga's Whitetail Intrigue: Scientific Insights for White-Tailed Deer Hunters (Hardcover)

I have been studying and hunting Whitetail deer for over 30 years and this book actually contains useful information. Too many times books of this sort are centered on some gimmick to kill the big one. This is not the case with Ozoga's work, you will come away with a deeper understanding of the deer's habits, social order and habitat requirements. Especially for the northern deer herd. For anyone who has an interest in Whitetails this is a must read.

5.0 out of 5 stars We Need More Northern Whitetail Books, July 10, 2003

This review is from: John Ozoga's Whitetail Intrigue: Scientific Insights for White-Tailed Deer Hunters (Hardcover)

As a northern deer hunter I am delighted with this book. Most of the whitetail deer books out there (at least the managment ones) are based in the south. Ozaga's book rings home with this Michigan guy.
The book is packed with great info on northern deer behavior. The photos are good and the research is sound. I wish there were more out there like it. So far, next to Alsheimer's deer books this is my favorite. I also just found a great northern food plot and habitat book called "Grow 'Em Right" by Dougherty and Dougherty which is right on the money up here in cold country.
