The Deer Hunter's Almanac was a very informative book about deer hunting. Sid Evans thought of just about everything in this book. This book is mainly geared to rifle hunters but there is a chapter on bowhunting. I learned so much that I want to read this book another time before next years hunting season. I think the information presented to me will improve my chances of bagging a trophy deer. If you are looking for an all in one deer hunting book, then this book is for you

Most of these deer hunting books recycle the same information over and over but there are one or two points that each one seems to bring new to the table. This is a good overall book on the 'complete' hunt, from the recon to the refrigerator and from the woods in the geat outdoors to the wall above your fireplace. This book doesn't leave you in the field standing over your kill. It talks about what needs to be done following the kill, which many hunters fail to give proper attention to. Before you start skinning and field dressing, you need to know whether your goal is protecting the meat(if that is the purpose), or proper care of the head mount and cape(if trophy hunting). This book will guide you through each phase. A good book to review prior to each season's hunt to make sure your not just 'locked and loaded' but'honed sharp' and outfitted properly. Received on time and as described. Would buy again.
