5.0 out of 5 stars Miller has Done it Again, June 15, 2000

By 

Thomas Knisely - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rub-Line Secrets (Paperback)

Greg Miller has done it again with his latest book Rub-Line Secrets. Once again he gives the reader insights into big buck behavior that will increase their chance at getting that shot of a lifetime. Miller explored the topic of rublines in his book Aggressive Whitetail Hunting, but delves more deeply into the mystery of rub lines in his latest book.

Back in the early 80's Miller first began to notice that deer rubs were more than just random places where bucks rubed the velvet from their antlers. He began to notice, through countless hours of scouting, observation and hunting, that bucks used rubs to mark travel routes and that you could in fact find rub-lines, or a series of rubs that when connected together with an imaginary line create a line from a definate point A to a definate point B.

Miller describes how, by deciphering rub-lines, you can determine a bucks prefered travel route. He also describes how you can tell which time of day a buck is using a rub line that runs either to or from a feeding area. This is invaluable information for any hunter who wants to increase there chances at taking a quality buck.

In just a few hours of reading you can learn what it took this accomplished hunter years to discover -- rub-lines hold the key to harvesting a trophy whitetail.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greg Miller Cracks the Code!, December 13, 2001

By 

Jon Harshbarger (Jamesville, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rub-Line Secrets (Paperback)

Greg Miller's writing is sure to inspire even the most seasoned veterans of the deer woods. Spending the last 20 or more years studying the link between big buck travel patterns and rub-lines, Miller is able to communicate his findings and strategies in a clear,concise manner. With the insights gained from Rub-Line Secrets, hunters will be better able to locate and to analyze rubs left by individual mature bucks. Most importantly, Miller relates effective rub-line hunting strategies to specific time periods throughout the season.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Earth Shattering Here, April 4, 2004

By 

"meyerske" (Washington, PA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rub-Line Secrets (Paperback)

I own all of Greg's books and they are all well written, decent reads. There's really nothing earth shattering here though; no new info. It left me wanting more. I won't change any of my tactics based on reading this book. Find a rub line and hang out downwind of it. When the rut kicks in, all bets are off.
