5.0 out of 5 stars Hunting Whitetails by the Moon, January 12, 2000
By Gregory Fahrenbach (United States) - See all my reviews
The photography was very impressive. If you are a northern deer hunter looking for an explaination to the whitetail rut, this is the book for you. He not only explains the different phases of the rut, but he also gives you his predictions for the rut until the year 2020. I found the book very informative and would highly reccommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A real gem among rhinestones, November 25, 2002
By S. Moss "huntryx" (Oneonta, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Let's just cut to the chase: there are a lot of books out there by self-proclaimed "experts" on how to hunt the wily whitetail. Most of them are just re-hashed information that any serious deerhunter already knows (or should). The number of really interesting and innovative books on this subject is low.
In this book, Charles Alsheimer gives us some truly helpful advice--whether or not you buy the moon theory. This is a good book and well-written, to boot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Is It All Moon Influence?, December 16, 2001
By A Customer
I believe Mr. Alsheimer is on to something important regarding the autumn cycle of whitetail life, but I am not sure that he has the whole story. The book is based on anecdotal evidence and observations of penned deer. Another author, John Ozoga, writes concerning the effects of age, nutrition, social status, habitat, and population dynamics among the factors influencing the onset and duration of the rut. I do not wish to disparage these observations and anecdotes, he gives sufficient from wide ranging areas to bolster his point; and; anecdotal evidence can, and sometimes does, have the force of experimentation. But then, how would one design more rigorous experiments?

I think that Mr. Alsheimer is a biological pioneer for this theory. He has shown himself to be a keen observer of whitetail life, and has made an important contribution to our understanding of the rut.

This book is, without question, well worth reading.
