good book

I liked this book alot . As a tracking book it's as infomationaly complete as any. I personally like "Big Bucks the Benoit way" better. The chapter " Track him down" in this book is worth the price of the book. As with the other tracking books I have found the sign reading info is relivent most anywhere. Hal Blood, The Benoits, R.G. Bernier are pure deer hunters. They hunt the toughest areas in the toughest conditions. They are going to be successful on big deer anywhere they choose to hunt. Not just on a high dollar lease's and guided hunts like alot of the "experts" are. I have picked up alot up info in there writing.

Most enjoyable deer hunting book I ever read

This was the most enjoyable deer hunting book I ever read. This is a how to book on how to hunt whitetails in lightly hunted remote northern forests. However, there is plenty of practical knowledge that applies to all of whitetail hunting. The author does a particularly good job of mixing in short interesting hunting stories to illustrate his points. These stories by themselves would be worth the price of the book. This is an excellent book both to learn something about whitetail hunting and just to read for enjoyment.

Better for the Northern Hunter

This book really seems to cover the most effective hunting tactics for those of us in the colder climates. It deals with tracking (especially in snow) quite a bit. It also deals with deer behavior and the probable reasons for this behavior. I have learned a lot from this book and plan on using the tactics explained and looking for bucks in places covered here. I love how the lessons learned are interspersed with good hunting stories to back up the lesson. Not all the stories are success stories either. Mr Blood does a good job explaining the hunt and respecting it, whether it leads to a harvest or not.

No way does Hal take a backseat to the Berniers or Benoits!

I have all their books, all provide some interesting reading. I find Hals book straight to the point, full of good tips and he doesnt even spend 1/2 the time tooting his own horn like in the others books. Hals book is 1 to keep for a lifetime, a reference book.

Hunting big woods bucks

I've read the Benoits books (twice), and this book beats them. This guy really hunts like everyone else WANTS to hunt. He can track, sit, rattle, drive. Hal Blood will be the next great deerhunter in the Northeast. I've already booked a spot in his camp for this fall. It's almost impossible to book a one on one hunt with him. I read the book twice before I gave it to a friend. He booked the hunt with me.
