This review is from: Whitetail Strategies: A No-Nonsense Approach to Successful Deer Hunting (Paperback)

The author relates his experience to even the most novice hunter (myself). He has a scientific, common-sense approach to deer hunting that gives confidence in his methods and makes you want to use them. His section on deer vocalizations can be confusing, but who can communicate inarticulate sounds thru plain text... However, it is fairly easy to find recordings of deer calls on the internet to clarify this matter.

This review is from: Whitetail Strategies: A No-Nonsense Approach to Successful Deer Hunting (Paperback)

I wish I'd read this book years ago. There were many times that I read something and a little light lit up because of things I'd seen in the field but hadn't really understood.

The common sense approach is great. I've never been a great believer in scent reduction because everything else I'd read/seen made little sense. I know that I smell after a bit of hiking. Why go through a brunch of stuff to get rid of every human smell? Well, that actually gets addressed. I also liked the bit about what the various deer scents mean to critters. And the stuff about calling, and rattling, and ...

I'm glad I read this book instead of watching more infomercial videos.
