I read as many archery/hunting books as I can get my hands on and I have been really impressed with "Bowhunting Pressured Whitetails". It is not a stickbow but a book about techniques for killing pressured big bucks in archery season. :thumbsup: If anyone out there has a serious addiction to hunting whitetails that receive pressure I think you will get a lot out of this book. I am surprised at how good the book is as I haven't heard much about it. Here is a link to it on 3Rivers site if you want to check it out.

one of the best I've read was whitetail magic by Rothaar-available through Balck Widow-outstanding book-wish he would write another.
Thanks Brady...that is one I actually haven't read but will pick up and read :jumper: .
If you are interested in deer HUNTING I would suggest 2 very good books
"How To Bag The Biggest Buck Of Your Life" By Larry Benoit
"Big Bucks The Benoit Way" By Bryce Towsley
These books are NOT bowhunting books.....THEY ARE DEER HUNTING BOOKS!!!!!
They are about hunting deer on foot and on the ground. They are about following tracks and reading sign.You will learn more about reading and interpreting deer sign,and deciphering tracks and determining a bucks movement patterns,than probly any other book out there.
(and believe me,I've read ALOT of deer hunting books LOL)
Thanks Chuck...I have them and have read them. They were really enjoyable to read and I learned a lot about how they hunt...and brownies :-).
Brownies are Goooood!!!!!
Another outstanding book is backwoods bucks by David Biskish-more about stories than techniques, but excellent nonetheless.

If you can find a copy, take a look at "Taking Trophy Whitetails" by Bob Fratzke. A lot of outdoor/hunting writers are just rediscovering now what he was saying 25 years ago.
"Come October" by Gene Wensell
Great book just read it this past winter.
come november-by Gene Wensel. shots at whitetails is another good one.
Seeker-Check out, "Hunting trophy whitetails in the real world" by Don Higgins.
Here is a link:

I am waiting to borrow a copy (from Droptine59) and have heard some good stuff about it.
For midwest whitetail bowhunting, here are my favorites in order.
"Whitetail Magic" - Roger Rothaar (always wonder if I spell his last name right)
"Hunting Trophy Whitetails in the Real World" - Don Higgins (currently reading)
"Hunting Rutting Whitetails" - Gene Wensel
"One Man's Whitetail" - Gene Wensel
These are all geared toward hunting mature, trophy class deer.
Wow...some here I haven't read. Thanks for all the suggestions. Looks like I have a nice reading list before October. :thumbsup: :notworthy: :)
