I'm the kind of busy guy (like a lot of the rest of you) who doesn't have the time to dedicate to learning to hunt whitetails purely by experience. I have no one around to mentor off of, either.
"Buckskin and Bone" has really encouraged me to keep at it, and is full of great tips. I really know very little about the Wensels, so this is not a 'fan' report.
The book is written in an easy-to-read style, too. I would recommend it to those who would be interested in piggy-backing on Gene's experience and deer savvy.

So you've discovered the Wesnsels. Yeah, they've been around a while, and they know a bit about deer hunting. Posts: 5852 | From: Wisconsin | Registered: Feb 2004

I learned a lot reading Bucksin and Bone. I pick up more each time I read it.

I read Come November by Gene every year. There is more whitetail information in that book then my limited brain can retain. I learn something new and am reminded of many little things each time I read it. Rogers first book gets read most years too.

Agree as well, he writes a good book. Come November is great as well, only two of his I have read.

I've read "One Mans Whitetail" so many times that if you were to read the first few words of a sentence out of it to me, I could finish the rest of the sentence word for word! Good stuff.
