Learning how to hunt Mule deer.

I've been an avid Mule deer hunter for about seven years and I thought that I new how to go about going after the "Gray Ghost". I was wrong, you learn some great techniques on how to look for, find, and stalk the trophy of a lifetime. I would recommend this book to anyone that loves to hunt Mule deer no matter how long they have been hunting.

great book

Let me start by stating that I am fairly new to big game hunting (deer etc.). I've tried scouting without much succes--until reading this book. THe best part of the book (the main focus) is in helping hunters practice to know how to locate game in the field before spooking them. I've looked at a good amount of books on hunting deer and I this is the best I have seen, hands down. Get it and you won't regret it. P.S. I don't see why this book wouldn't help you in locating other game using similar techniques.

mule deer: hunting todays trophies

I liked this book. It delt with "hunting" something that is lost, with todays "buying" a deer. the guide does the "hunting" and the "hunter" does the shouting. The authors did a good job of explaining, through pictures,what it is to "hunt" deer. This is a book that you will review every year!

Great Mule Deer Primer!

I wish I would have had this book six months earlier. I hunted mule deer for this first time this year. It took me a week of hard hunting to learn the basic concepts of finding and hunting mule deer this book provides right upfront. The three step stalking method outlined in here will work for any western game. I highly recommend this to anyone hunting mule deer for the first time. Great Job!

One of the best hunting books I've read.

This is a very informative and entertaining book. It is heavily geared towards open country style hunting, but most of the tips and suggestions should be useful for other types of mule deer hunting. The photo section of "hidden" deer was fun. I own dozens of books on hunting big-game, small-game, waterfowl, etc., this book contains far more useful information than most. The only weakness in the book, and it is a minor one, is that the section on muzzleloaders is a little slim, probably because the authors seem to be rifle and bowhunters.
