The Eberhart books and DVD's are great.

Wash Hunter, do yourself a favor and order it off of Don's website at www.higginsoutdoors.com. It's a great read, and I highly endorse it.

I will tell him, and yes they are, I really like his books!!!

Being as pressured as you are in your area Eberhart is a better fit(IMO).

Don's book was just different.
He had some solid points, an some things I would have left out. His whole point is about how to become more consistant. Seems to be working for him.

I suppose I'll do that on the 22nd when I get my first check, Greg. I hear it mentioned here and on various other forums and I'd like to at least read it myself before making any judgements on it.

I still don't see how saying his book was terrible as degrading to a fellow bowhunter.............saying a book is terrible speaks to writng skills and content........not hunting .


Me too..........I just guessed because usually kids jump right into name calling because they don't know any better.


OK........so he told you what you were doing wrong (he does a lot of that) so how did he help you get better?.......surely you don't just mean not using scents and calls......right?


Then you should love my review because it pulls no punches...........just like Don


Did he or did he not plead guilty to trespassing??


I'm telling you what Don said...........it's right in the book.........and it doesn't agree with what you said. Maybe you should go back and read it again.


See my long review about how he contradicts himself MANY times on this subject.

Same as memory.


See my review about this as well.........MANY contradictions here as well.

This book is the first place you heard about that??


I would have liked this MUCH better if he had elaborated more and not simply stopped at that statement.........if you're gonna tell people NOT to do something a certain way you should at least offer them an alternative.


Again, old news.........but even here he goes into no details except a fictional extreme example which he follows up by saying "but I really do think about my stands that way"


Yea LT............I read it all................and it's STILL funny to me that someone tries to validate claims of deer behavior in the "real world" with stories about pen raised deer.

I thought you were going to bed

I never said that...........I just said it was getting late

My bad carry on....

I think it was Duke that said this....

This is also the tactic chosen by Joe Brooks and ALMOST EVERY successful hunter I know. Thanks, germ....for recommending Joe's book. It's changed the way I hunt, forever.

Well I can tell you this..... "I" clear trails with a chain saw and a machette during the heat of the Summer. IF I can place the brush to a particular side of a trail that will ensure the deer CAN'T get behind me easily......and therefore funnel them MORE in MY favor.....I'm going to place that brush in the most strategic place to suit MY needs.

I also hunt a small open field in the middle of the woods that is enclosed by a pasture fence. I WILL and DO open the gate of the fence in this area to ENSURE (to the best of my ability) that the deer will use the open gate as a means of egress. I'm upping the odds in my favor by creating a funnel. I'll do this EVERY CHANCE I GET.

Atlas, out of respect for the author, I am not going to go into detail or devulge any information in the book, that is why I was vague in my 1st post. I can say this, a friend on this forum loaned me the book while I was down with my broken ankle, and I still shucked out the $$ for it at the IA Deer Classic weeks later so that I could share the book with my wife and other friends. Don even autographed it for me and you can't argue with his success on taking big mature whitetails. No wonder Peterson's Bowhunting magazine hires him to right stories for their mag regularly. Don is also one of the most down to earth, personable, friendly guys that I have ever met.
