Double,

Which was your favorite book and why?

Deadshot,

Why were those books your favorite? In what particular areas did you feel like you gained insight?

Thanks

Not my style of hunting at all, but "Big Bucks the Benoit Way" is a great read

Silent, my favorite is tough, I really liked Rubline Secrets and Mapping for Trophy Bucks.

I loved Mapping for Trophy Bucks b/c it explained how deer relate to various terrain features in hilly country. I've never had much experience in the hills and in recent years I've been spending much more time chasing hill deer. It's a great read.

I loved Rubline Secrets b/c of the in your face no non-sense approach Greg Miller takes on hunting trophy bucks. Not a ton of insight gained, but good reinforcements on how to consistently kill large whitetails. I read it twice.

Where are all the book worms?

I need some suggestions. I've got a vacation coming up and I need a few books to read.

Aggressive whitetail hunting is my fave...i've read that thing about a half dozen times plus about a month before bow season so everything sinks in. i keep the thing with my bible. also, way of the whitetail, i think is the title, but Leonard Lee Rue III is very good for understanind just the deers body and actions. Greg Miller explains it so anyone can understand it. Mapping Trophy Bucks, never read it..i've seen it before...but thena gain, i've grown up hunting hills. its all i know basically...hills with fields in the valleys..i'd be clueless going out west in the plains states for whitetails.

Deerslayer_37, have you read Rubline Secrets? If not, it's also by Greg Miller and is an excellent book.

I'm a bookworm, but I don't read much about hunting one specific animal. I know I read a book about hunting whitetails, but it's been so long ago I don't remember what it was. I'm more into books dealing with the history, philosophy and traditions of archery and bowhunting. The stuff most guys totally ignore.
