This book is a great read for those who cannot hunt on guide hunts on game farms, etc. (that's most of us!) The book gives real tips on how to hunt whitetails that you can put to use right away. I liked the book so much I mbought the 3 DVD set that will soemwhat redundant to the text, contained a bunch more great info. These guys know what they are doing and they don't have a ranch or staff of guides, scouts, etc doing the work for them. The DVD series is not however a bunch of hunts captured on video. It is instructional stuff... and good!

As the title indicates, I found this disappointing. I knew there wasn't going to be much in this book when the entire first chapter used charts and graphs to demonstrate that pressured bucks are harder to find!!!

Also, he spent a good number of pages telling us how to approach landowners for permission to hunt! That is NOT what you buy a book like this for.

He also presents a regimen for success that is so drastic I don't think many will follow thru. For example -- he prepares 80 different trees for stands.

The book wasn't a total loss, as he does give a prioritized list of the 4 things to look for in the woods that are best places to find deer.

I recently read the book and I did learn some new things. However, the book really pushes a scentlok suit and I would adivse saving your money. These suits are costly and not necessary. Just go out and buy scent free detergent (basspro,cableas,wal-mart etc.) and the scent proof spray and you are good. We are talking a price difference of hundreds.

I wish the author had really gone into game cameras. If you really want to know what size of deer you are hunting and when and where they are at a camera is the best tool out there. Also, he didn't mention baiting much, but if it is legal in your state do this along with cameras and you stand a great chance of taking a good sized deer.

In conclusion, this is a good book and if you are new to hunting I would strongly recommend it.

John Eberhart manages to take nice bucks year after year from one of the heaviest hunted and poorest manage states without having to pay anyone to hunt their land. this book is worth every minute of your time ,but if you only want to read one of John's books then make it "Precision Bowhunting" much the same info just laid out a bit nicer.

Just as the name implies if you are bowhunting whitetails in pressured areas this book is one of the best. Theres something here for everyone but if you are a begining bowhunter this book is a must own. The author also has 3 DVDs on hunting pressured whitetails, they are the best instructional DVD's I have seen. I wish I would have had this book availabale when I started bowhunting.

So much of what I read is like a fairy tale. Sometimes it's even good enough to make me believe and then after a few hours or days in the real woods (no fences and lots of other hunters), reality sets in again. This book doesn't promise any instance success or give any sure kill secrets like "rattle and grunt every ten minutes"...every tried that one? This is real hunting. Get out there early, put the time in, and pay attention to the details. And there are a lot of details outlined in this book.

This was a great book. Finally someone got it right. not all of us hunt on ranches where deer never see humans and are feed. this book gives advice on how to hunt state lands and other populated areas around urban life. I would recommend you read this book if you want to see more deer in the woods this year .

This book is no B.S. I have read the book twice and refered back to it many times. It is a great book for a good bow hunter who wants to take their game to the next level.
I truly beleive John is THE BEST whitetail hunter in the country. I say this because the bucks he kills are in Michigan, where an 80" whitetail is like shooting a 130" in many other states........and he does not own or lease property. He knocks on doors to gain permission the hard way.

This is my first year hunting--I wanted to read up on some tactics and how to's of hunting. My husband has been hunting for 15 years and he has really enjoyed reading this book also. The writer either confirmed or shed new light on some things my husband has believed about whitetails. He has stated this is the best information he has ever read on bowhunting.

I learned a great deal from this book also. I no longer think my husband is crazy for being a scent free fanatic:)
I can proudly say I am one two.

I truly believe any bowhunter looking to improve his or her skills could benefit from this read.

I've read many bowhunting books over the years. I thought that I'd heard it all. This book proves that I didn't. I was very surprised by the great info this book provides.

Rest assured that this is not for the weekend bowhunter, this is hard-core bowhunting.

This book will hold a spot on my bookself reserved only for the "classics".

Very worthwhile. Right up there with Wensel's "Hunting Rutting Whitetails".
