This is one of the best hunting books I've read. Dwight provides realistic information with good detail. He doesn't oversimplify things. He discusses various hunting situations that will face each hunter sooner or later. I'm now reading his book on early season elk hunting.

This is a very good book for anyone who is a beginning open country deer hunter. It is also a good book if you have hunted open country and want to compare your tactics to someone else. I know next season I will test some tactics found in this book to see if they work better than mine. I am also going to recommend this book to my hunting partners. It was written in the mid 80's so a lot of advice on optics, bows, and other accessories are dated. If you are looking for a system to hunt open country this book may be for you.

This is a good book for bowhunters that like to hunt in the early seasons. Doesnt go much into rifle hunting or rifle hunting seasons in which deer tend to be more in the timber. At least thats what I got out of it because he doesnt actually say so. He doesnt really say anything about the regular gun season. Most of his hunts are late summer. Not a bad book though easy to read and understand, just not what I was looking for.

There are several very good "how to" books available about mule deer hunting but Dwight Schuh's book deserves a spot at the top. I have hunted mulies for many years and this is the one book that I always recommend to the first time mule deer hunter. What makes "Hunting Open Country Mule Deer" especially good is that it offers solid, practical advice on spotting and hunting deer that anyone from the novice to the seasoned hunter will find useful in pursuing the 'grey ghosts'. Schuh is right when he claims that you will become a successful mule deer hunter if you follow the advice in his book.

I found this book very useful. The book is targeted toward bowhunting but the techniques are useful for any other hunting technology you'd care to apply to deer hunting. It does not try to cover all aspects of deer hunting (tracking, weapon choice and ballistics) what it covers is a technique for locating, spotting, stalking, and close approaching big bucks in wide open country. I found the style to be sort of down home but not in an irritating way. And his style does not get in the way of conveying the vital information in this book.

I really enjoyed Hunting Open-Country Mule Deer by Dwight Schuh. Dwight described his tactics for stalking mule deer so straight forward that anyone could do it. I hope to try his tactics in the near future. I must admit stalking an animal, within 50 yards, is something that I have never tried. I look forward to the success that he practically guarantees. I highly recommend this book. Dwight doesn't try to make everything sound like a bed of roses; he tells it like it is. After reading several of his books, I have come to appreciate his straight forwardness, honesty and dedication to bowhunting.

I enjoyed this book immensly. I used some of his tactics this season and it was "succesful." I saw more deer this year than in any other year using the tactics from the book. However, I blew my chance which is no fault of the authors.

You will enjoy the book and find the tactics useful.

Good Hunting!

This is a solid read with excellent examples of the information provided for someone like me who is on the verge of their first western hunts. There is nothing fancy or high dollar here at all, which I found very refreshing in this world of magazine articles where thousands of dollars paid at a fenced in farm allows trophy "hunting". It is a book that I will read again.
