Review

If you're looking for an "instant" book that you can breeze through in a few hours and come out an unbeatable gun trader, this is decidedly not the book for you. The book for you hasn't been written. It would better be entitled "fooling yourself and losing money". Knight's book is a serious look at the economics of trading firearms for a profit. And while it might sound like fun, it's no different from any other method of making money - it requires efforts to educate yourself, learn some simple rules, and then have the discipline to follow those rules while simultaneously sharpening your skillset. Like practicing marksmanship, you'll find that the more you practice - correctly - the better you'll find your scores. --Jim Shepherd, The Shooting Wire, May 21, 2007 --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally A Book Devoted To Moose, March 27, 2008

This review is from: Moose Hunting (Hardcover)

I grew up hunting moose in Newfoundland with rifle by driving them to other hunters who lay in wait. I recently switched to solo archery hunting and I wanted to learn more about the other methods to approach my annual moose hunt. There are numerous books out there on deer and elk hunting however information specific to moose hunting is very sparse, to say the least. As such, this book fills a huge gap. I found it to be very informative regardless of your weapon of choice and it specifically covers well the strategies of Calling, Using Decoys and Using Scents to hunt moose. This book will not teach you how to call moose however if you already know how to call then this book will provide you with good information to help you with your calling strategy. One thing in particular that I like about Mr. Kelso's writing is his use of actual hunting scenarios to explain his various strategies. This book is certainly a worthy read. For those that are looking to hunt moose using archery tackle then I would also recommend "The Bowhunter's Field Manual" by Judd Cooney as a good companion to this book as it has an excellent chapter on hunting moose with archery tackle.
