A Hunter's Heart by David Petersen.Not a "how to" book about hunting , instead it is a collection of essays about hunting.

Love his writing! Good choice…when a way from the woods you can pick up one of his books and feel like your with him on the journey.

I've got an engineer mind so I've really only read one, but I've got no complaints.  Strategies For Whitetails by Charlie Alsheimer.  seemed like it had lots of useful factual info.  Haven't read more of a story with heart, sole, and emotion kind of deer hunting book.

Favorite I'm not sure but a few of the ones in my bookcase that I'm big on are as follows....

 

Hunting Trophy Deer by John Wooters

 

One Man's Whitetail by Gene Wensel

 

Bowhunting's Whitetail Masters by Dan Bertalan

 

All of those are worthy of multiple reads and timeless.

I have that book also and a couple others of his; Racks and Elkheart.  Great reads.

 

A good friend of mine has done some art work for David's books and is friends with him.  When I hunted elk in 2004 it was with an outfitter that David guided for for a number of years, T. Mike Murphy.

I have this book but still have not read it, husband is first.  I also bought The Meat Eater and its boring, haven't touch it in almost 3 months. Moved on to other books

The Bible works good for me, on my last 3 bucks anyhow. 2 seasons ago it slipped out of my hand for some strange reason, with 5 minutes of legal shooting light left. I decided to pack it in early then since I had already filled an antlerless tag in the morning and had a couple other "nuisance permit deer in the freezer. When I climbed down to pick it up, a flock of turkeys and a nice big 8-point buck immediately landed on my position in the patch of brush under my tree stand. It was an easy 10 yard neck shot on the buck with one minute of daylight remaining. I would have stood out like a lite bulb to them turkeys had I still been up that tree in my blaze orange cammo.

My cross-bow buck last year showed up right after I took my eyes off an "old rugged cross" that I set up behind our house. Finally my steer-bodied, rifle-season, Adirondack 8-point showed up last season right after I prayed that God just let me see a buck. All we had ever seen, even on trail cameras, at my in-laws new camp up there were antlerless deer. Practice, scouting, reading about hunting techniques and all that may help some folks I am sure, but keeping myself in good with the man upstairs works best for me. After all, He is the one who has the final say where all deer end up.

I haven't read the entire thing yet, but the pictures look REALLY good,lol! :maninlove:

It's actually pretty good informative read so far unless you got something against "celebrity hunters" and good looking blondes that kill bigger bucks than you do.... then your mind is probably made up already that it will suck.

Oh hell, now I see the topic is FAVORITE hunting book.... too late, not even close, just what I'm reading now!

Got it at the flea market for $5!
