Just wondering if any of you all read any hunting books? Are there any that you really got a lot out off or liked the best?
I liked and would recomend:

Mapping Trophy Bucks by Brad Herndon:thumbup:

Moon Struck by Jeff Murray with Myles Keller:thumbup:

Hunting Whitetails By The Moon by Charles J. Alsheimer:thumbup:

I've read a quite a few books. Most repeat stuff that most long time hunters already knew and tend to duplicate each other. Still anything and everything to gain more knowledge or remind a guy and keep his head working. These three are very informative.

WOW! I guess I've read more than I thought. Along with the three best I started the post with. A lot of repeat info but each had a little something in them that's worth reading.

It was okay. Its only 124 pages and quite a few pics. I thought it was pretty basic. But here is the thing with that, most everything you read in these books are things you already know. Just its good to be reminded of some things. Other than the first three books the rest, including this one, if you had 4 hunters sitting around a fire they would discuss the very same things in this book and would probably all be in agreement. If I remember right there wasn't any earth shattering info in it. All that babble being said it aint gonna hurt to read it. I will say this, in all the pictures Bobby looks like he's been in the same boots all day and they are 3 sizes to small. lol Info, I remember, is solid. it is a short read.

Most all the books I get are through Amazon.com. A couple from the club when I was a member.

Yea that's usually the case but sometimes someone says something a little different that rings a bell. I like to read them anyway. I liked the Greg Miller books too. I thought they left me a bit wanting but I guess you have to learn a lil something for yourself. They are what got me thinking of LBL.

I would like to change those three to four books and include

" Precision Bowhunting A Year-round Approach To Taking Mature Whitetails" by John and Chris Eberhart.

Packed full of info. A must read. Two thumbs up. The bible of modern whitetail deer hunting. Read those first three and this one and you won't be sorry. Promise. Its a slow read cause of all the info but well worth it. I had to read and reread the content. Sorry I don't know how I forget this one. The reason I posted all the titles is because I knew something was missing. this book will give you a new perspective of deer hunting.

If you are going to buy one book, buy this one.

I got that book you guys mentioned today in the mail. i finished it a few mins ago. good book. not what i was expecting but true to the title. its was like a series of hallmark warm and fuzzy movies. not so much a "how to" but more a "why". thanks
