Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews).... It is not a must have and if I had been able to scan the book before buying I would not have purchased it. While I agree some of the information is interesting (not altogether new) it is dated and has information that is in direct contradiction to information published since its original publication. The book has a 1963 copyright. Accordingly, the information on vehicles, guns, bows (all the bows were recurve and compounds with faster arrow speeds were not even invented!), and other equipment such as treestands, etc. is very outdated (as readily seen by the pictures). Some information is never outdated such as where to aim when shooting a deer and how to field dress a deer so it is good to read again.
Information on how a deer's eyes work and their other habits does not seem to be up to date (for example there is no discussion about the sensitivity to ultraviolet light). I found a much more detailed discussion of scrapes and rubs in "The Advance Deer Hunter's Bible" by Weis (sp?) althought that book was also a little dated (1993 I think).
There are better books out there and much better articles in many of the magazines that hit the stands during hunting season. Save your money on this one.
