I have never been deer hunting before, but my new father-in-law has invited me on his annual hunting trip next fall. He knows that I have no experience, but I want to try to become as familiar with the sport as possible before then. I am an avid fisherman, and have been looking forward to getting into deer hunting for sometime now.

I am wondering if anyone can make a recommendation on a good deer hunting reference guide for a beginner. What I really need to start me out is " The Complete Idiot' s Guide to Deer Hunting" or " Deer Hunting for Dummies" , but I don' t know if there is such a thing (I did look on the web). I would like something that discusses different caliber' s of rifles and their applications, as well as the various strategies for the actual hunt.

Thanks for your help!
