I wish I would have had this book six months earlier. I hunted mule deer for this first time this year. It took me a week of hard hunting to learn the basic concepts of finding and hunting mule deer this book provides right upfront. The three step stalking method outlined in here will work for any western game. I highly recommend this to anyone hunting mule deer for the first time. Great Job!

This is a very informative and entertaining book. It is heavily geared towards open country style hunting, but most of the tips and suggestions should be useful for other types of mule deer hunting. The photo section of "hidden" deer was fun. I own dozens of books on hunting big-game, small-game, waterfowl, etc., this book contains far more useful information than most. The only weakness in the book, and it is a minor one, is that the section on muzzleloaders is a little slim, probably because the authors seem to be rifle and bowhunters.

I've been an avid Mule deer hunter for about seven years and I thought that I new how to go about going after the "Gray Ghost". I was wrong, you learn some great techniques on how to look for, find, and stalk the trophy of a lifetime. I would recommend this book to anyone that loves to hunt Mule deer no matter how long they have been hunting.

I liked this book. It delt with "hunting" something that is lost, with todays "buying" a deer. the guide does the "hunting" and the "hunter" does the shouting. The authors did a good job of explaining, through pictures,what it is to "hunt" deer. This is a book that you will review every year!

I have read hundreds of hunting books, and rate this the most useful mule deer hunting book available. This book cotains more practical information that you can (and will) actually use than most hunting books on any species. Many of the techniques described in this book will work on any western or mountain game. The book is written in a very easy to read style and is entertaining as well as informative.

I also particularly enjoyed the photo section in which readers are given an opportunity to practice the "spotting" skills covered in an earlier chapter. I would like to see an entire book devoted to these kinds of "puzzles," as I believe this is a useful way to practice your spotting skill if you don't live where the game lives.

Congratulations to these authors. I hope to see more from them in the future.

I bought this book after reading the other positive reviews.
Now, I am happy to add my compliments to the authors for writing an excellent book.
I am going hunting for the second time this season.
Last season I was completely unsuccessful in locating any deer.
After reading this book now I have a couple of reasons why.
And I am now armed with some great tactics to use while in the field.
Great book, the authors earn every last cent paid for it.
Thanks guys.

Let me start by stating that I am fairly new to big game hunting (deer etc.). I've tried scouting without much succes--until reading this book. THe best part of the book (the main focus) is in helping hunters practice to know how to locate game in the field before spooking them. I've looked at a good amount of books on hunting deer and I this is the best I have seen, hands down. Get it and you won't regret it. P.S. I don't see why this book wouldn't help you in locating other game using similar techniques.

I've read a lot of deer hunting books in my time and this one is by far the best. I was suprised by how much I didn't know about the wiley mule deer buck. The photos are excellent AND helpful too. The two authors are total mule deer experts (fanatics?) but at the same time they are down to earth and easy to read. Highly recommended reading for any western hunter.

This is the best info available for anyone that goes after mule deer. I was able to use the knowledge I gained from this book and apply it this last season and it works. This book is worth every penny if you are serious about mulies.

What is a successful hunt worth? If just a few of these tips can help, it's worth the price of addmission. Good Hunting!
