Hunting Through Books
 
This pertains to everyone,

Since being sent to the sandbox for a year, I have made a conscious effort to read as many books as I can on Whitetail deer hunting, Bear hunting, andElk hunting. Of the books so far I have read a few quality books such as,Hunting Black Bear by Robert Smith, Guide to Whitetail Deer Hunting Tips and Resources by Terry Townsed, and I am waiting on a couple of Elk hunting books as well. Since I will be primarily hunting Whitetail when I get home can anyone recommend other quality readings on Whitetail. Ihave read a few others butthey were pretty basic books withquite a bit of good tips.

I thought Upper case letters was yelling. I type with bigger lower case letters cause it is easier to read. Sorry. Thanks for the info by the way.I will look them up as well. I do have some knowledge of whitetails, just tryingto get lost on my down time if you know what I mean, all while educating myself about the whitetail. Whitetail has become a passion for me and I am sure everyone else here. But My ultimate passion is spot and stalk Bear Hunts. I hooked in just one season. The bear just reminds me of myself. But ultimately, whenever I see a whitetail my heart drops and takes me a few seconds do drop the excitement and finish the job. Gotta love it!

Justin, we have our own resident bear man. He goes by Shultzy, you can call him Steve if your nice to him though.:D He knows all of the in's and out's of killing big bears. I'm sure he could steer you in the right direction with any bear info.;)

Thanks for playing in the sand for us:D

RE: Hunting Through Books
 
Your Welcome fellas. Maybe after I get home i can meet this Schultzy? I have found if you want to be successful in life/hunting you should surround yourself by those who are successful. Anyone willing to share their vast amount of knowledge from years of hunting is definitely somebody I want to meet.
Thanks Early!

And thanks to everybody who answers this post. Although I would love to read everyone of these books, and i hope that I can, I will try my best to at least look up all these authors and books. Much appreciated to all!

Justin

PS - Those of you who haven't already read the Terry Townsend book I suggest you should. Verygoodread and an intelligent man.

Thank you for your service! It is very much appreciated!! Get home safe so you can match wits with the great whitetail deer!
In addition to the books or authors mentioned,I would suggest Bobby Worthington,a regular guy who gets`it done every year with some oh my god bucks.Gene Wenzel has written a couple of classics.Steve Bartylla (his last name may only have one L in it.I just finished his most recent book and it was excellent.
God speed!

Once again much appreciated. I will try to visit online again within a few days. I might be getting some down time so I might be back sooner. But thanks for all of your recommendations. As I said earlier, I can't hit all of them but will look at as many as I can and order a few more. Thanks!

Justin
