This coming will be my second deer season in the field . At this point - I'm totally self edjucated on the subject . I saw a book last year at Gander Mountain called "Deer Hunting 101" Iamgoing to pick this up . Are there any other that you could recomend for me ? Thanks .

Bowhunting Pressured Whitetails
Precision Bowhunting
both by John Eberhart

I have read them again and again. They're great.

This will be my 2nd FULL season deer hunting (coming up). Read EVERYTHING you can. Watch EVERY show you can.

But more importantly......DON'T be afraid to ask questions in this forum. There are more experienced whitetail hunters (and other species) that are MORE THAN HAPPY to share with you.....than you'd ever guess.

WONDERFUL people, here.....and I utilize their expertise almost daily.

These are excellent books and I re-read them also. I would suggest another book that is extremely informative and that is:

American Whitetail - Deer Hunting Tips & Resources
by Terry Townsend

Joe Brooks Year Around Trophy Whitetails, I have read John's books also very good!!!

I also liked Don Higgins book
http://www.higginsoutdoors.com/

Very good book also.

Did he ever buy you that lunch ?

Sure did

Funny thing is when Joe and I first met we did not get along, and now weare good friends. Joe really help me understand mature whitetails. I still have a pile to learn!!!

Count yourself lucky to be learning from him. I still have about 3 piles to learn LOL but that is part of the fun.

Another very good book is Whitetail Wisdom by Dan Schmidt

Everyone here has different angles of going at deer hunting. Different approaches work for different hunters, soak up everything you can, slowlyyou will go in your own direction. You will never stop learning that is the beauty of the sport.
