The Bowhunter's Handbook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Coming from England where bow hunting is illegal, this book was an eye opener to me. The book deals with all types of statergies involved in bow hunting, from concealment to stalking, equipment and camoflage, watching and calling. Each huntable four legged game is shown and analysed by its size, habitat and habits. They detail the senses of each species whether they rely primarily on sight, hearing or smell. Tactics and techniques are discussed after a short description of each animal hunted. Being from England I felt a little sad at the thought of trophy hunting such beasts, so did the authors, although they had experienced the hunt too. The book is very saftey concious through out and tries to put over the right and wrong ways to preserve the sport in the public eyes. Although I said the book turned me soft the whole approach was realistic and to any bow hunter anywhere it must be read for the drops of intelligence and understanding of your sport.

Elk Hunting the West the Eastman Way Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have to say this book is a tell it like it should be bible for the do-it-yourselfer. I have read many hunting books in the last few months and found this book to be the most honest and forward text on Elk hunting for the begginer. The book opens your thought process by addressing the necessary basic knowledge for the begginer. From planning, tactics, elk behaviors, the different stages of the rut, rack bracketting, and the gear necessary to complete the task. What I found most helpful is how Mike Eastman really breaks everything down into an easy to understand format. If you really desire to hunt elk in the west, I would suggest you put this book at the front of your list. You will not regret it!

It took me a week of hard hunting to learn the basic concepts of finding and hunting mule deer this book provides right upfront. The three step stalking method outlined in here will work for any western game. I highly recommend this to anyone hunting mule deer for the first time. Great Job!

The Complete Guide to Mule Deer Hunting: Tactics and Strategies for Success Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I think Sam Curtis' book is excellent for several reasons. First, Curtis provides an extensive examination of mule deer hunting in different togographical regions. He analyzes how to hunt muleys in foothill/mountain regions, on the Great Plains, in coulees, in alpine areas, and elsewhere. Readers will likely find information relevant to their particular hunting region. Second, Curtis draws on both many years of personal experience as well as professional biological research. The combination provides a nice balance between ancedote and objective facts. Third, Curtis explains a number of very practical tactics to use when hunting muleys in a variety of situations. I found his advice on how to pursue spooked mule deer very helpful. Fourth, the book is clearly written. Finally -- and perhaps most importantly -- Curtis communicates not just disparate facts and tactics about mule deer hunting, but *understanding* of mule deer and their environment -- what their habits are, how they respond to varoius weather patterns and dynamics, how they react to hunting pressure, how bucks function in rut and non-rut times, how they use topography, what their core habitat is, and so on. So many hunting books today are largely 'how to' books; they do not take the extra step of communicating a mentality or cognitive strategy about how to think. Curtis does this admirably. I enjoyed this book as much as I did Dwight Schuh's Hunting Open-Country Mule Deer.

Deer hunting has often been termed difficult, humbling, and ceremonial. This is because to do it correctly, a hunter has so much to learn-including learning about mule deer habitats, and how deer use those habitats at different times of the year, and under diverse conditions. Found within the pages of The Complete Guide to Mule Deer Hunting is a wealth of solid, useful information on hunting tactics, as well as mule deer habits and habitats from which the reader will greatly benefit on his next trip to the West.Like the soft-heeled step of a still-hunter Sam Curtis writes with a fine balance between an instructional how-to voice and light-hearted humor. With detailed photography and step-by-step illustrations, as well as comprehensive practical advice and encouragement throughout, this book will remain a classic reference on the subject for years to come.

Hunting Open-Country Mule Deer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am an avid mule deer hunter and an even more avid reader. I have easily read more than fifty books and guides on hunting both mule and whitetail deer. Dwight Schuh has written what I believe to be the "handbook of all hanndbooks" on hunting mule deer that everyone should own! Many hunting books are vague and tell only of the great hunts and trophies that the author or his associates have harvested. Dwight Schuh's book is the complete opposite. His book is written as if you are sitting together by a camp fire and talking about what he believes are the essentials to hunting the mule deer. He includes errors he made as well as the tactics that work. It is a "real" hunting book with invaluable information. So many of the examples I would read and say to myself, "Yep, I've definately experienced that!" At this stage in my hunting and reading career, I didn't think I would ever find a book that could teach me so much and be so easy to understand. I have read through it several times and it now looks like a reference book with all the highlighted areas and writing in the margins. I would like nothing more than to be able to communicate with Dwight Schuh on a professional hunting level; if not only to gain more insight into the mule deer and it's behavior than to build an even deeper respect for a tophy animal that gives me life!
