1: whitetails strategies - a no-nonsense approach to successful deer hunting
Excellent book for increasing your probability of taking that trophy that's just out of reach. Great foul weather tips, calling and rattling tips were very helpful and the rut timings and scent applications were made very clear. There is plenty of useful knowledge in this book. Can't wait to apply some of these tactics next season, though there weren't a lot of bow hunting tips most of the info can be applied for gun and bow hunting. I'd recommend this book to anyone that feels the need to improve on their hunting skills or just wants a trophy buck on their mantle for bragging rights!!!

3: practical and useful
This book presents the basics of deer hunting in an informative and practical manner. It covers such areas as scents, calling, rattling, scrapes, and ruts. One of the aspects the author describes is how important scent is in the world of the deer. I thought the information was very useful. The author has many years of practical experience and he does a good job of trying to pass on this information to beginning hunters. This is a very good resource for a new deer hunter.

4: read it
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.

5: great book
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.
