Customer Reviews

It's laced with tips and tidbits.

At first the book seems nothing more than a compilation of Murphey's various hunting escapades. But a closer review shows chapters laced with tidbits and tips taken from personal experiences. --Bill Monroe (The Oregonian)

If you've hunted blacktail deer you can relate to this book.

"I found BLACKTAIL DEER HUNTING ADVENTURES to be relaxing, enjoyable reading. Anyone who has ever hunted blacktails can relate to this book and also gain some good hunting lore from reading it. The book shows Wes's love and insight into this wonderful animal and the world it lives in." Boyd Iverson, author of "BLACKTAIL TROPHY TACTICS"

Very enjoyable!

I greatly enjoyed reading BLACKTAIL DEER HUNTING ADVENTURES. Your work really counterbalances a lot of the anti-hunting and anti-trapping sentiment which is so strong especially here in California.

It's fun to read and contains a lot of solid "how to" info.

I've read BLACKTAIL DEER HUNTING ADVENTURES with a great deal of interest and enjoyment. It's fun to read while at the same time containing a lot of solid "how to" information. The book depicts a young enthusiastic outdoorsman who made a lot of mistakes in his early years. It shows the same young man maturing into a responsible, successful hunter with a deep respect and love for the wildlife resource. He has written this book in a manner which will help the young reader to avoid the mistakes which he made and give older hunters cause to reflect on how they conduct themselves while in the woods. As a bow hunter who grew up hunting Whitetail deer, I know Murphey's methods for hunting Blacktails can also be applied successfully to Whitetails. Murphey's final chapter on the future of hunting could well be the most important message he delivers. Hunting rights are no longer something that sportsmen can take for granted. They are under attack from all directions, and unless hunters realize the danger and are willing to become involved in the political and legislative process, our children and grandchildren will never experience the thrill of opening morning, or of having a four point bust out of his bed and into their sights.-- Rod Harder (Executive Director Oregon Sportsmen's Defense Fund)

Very Interesting!

I found BLACKTAIL DEER HUNTING ADVENTURES to be very interesting. I felt like I was in the woods with you. I could almost smell the woods and see the trees.
