Look for the author Greg Miller. He has a few books that I think are just what you are looking for. No nonsense, construction worker who hunts hard and smart.
The two books of his that I have are RUBLINE TACTICS, and AGGRESIVE WHITETAIL HUNTING. They definately contributed to my success in tagging a nice buck last year as I set up in place that years prior I probably would not have recognized.
Good Luck,
JR
