Title: Best Whitetail hunting book??
Post by: PrimitivePete on November 17, 2024, 01:58:29 PM: I'm looking for a good read on Whitetail hunting, something more than tactics and more about deer habits

His books are not so much about hunting as they are about deer habits.

Hunting Rutting Whitetails by Gene Wensel.

Post by: kopfjaeger on November 30, 2024, 07:56:13 AM: Yep, the Wensel's books and DVDs are great. I have a few.

Post by: kopfjaeger on November 30, 2024, 08:07:54 AM: Roger Rothhaar's two books are excellent.

Post by: Mike Bolin on November 30, 2024, 07:37:26 PM: Both of Roger Rothhaar's books are great, as is anything by the twins. Barry's latest book, The Old Man and the Tree" has really made me think about stand placement and it has become my favorite book on hunting deer. I have read almost all of the books mentioned above and they are definitely worth reading. It's interesting to me to read the different authors and compare their thoughts and techniques. If you read Gene's books, he has changed his thinking over the years and he tells you so and why.
