DEER HUNTS: THROUGH A TRACKER'S EYES is a collection of recounted hunting stories, all of which were chosen primarily for their entertainment value. With more than forty years of hunting whitetail deer to rely on, the author has accumulated a vast array of experiences: some good, some bad; some successful, some not. Hunts involving big bucks, small bucks and even the occasional doe are included. Certainly, not all hunts have successful endings. Failure is the constant companion of every deer hunter. The author has provided several tales of his own personal woe, whether caused by his own shortcomings or events completely outside of his control. Sometimes, funny things happen in the whitetail woods. And so, several comedic episodes are detailed, as well. In sum, DEER HUNTS is an entertaining, multi-dimensional account of real-world hunting as experienced by a seasoned hunter. As the book's sub-title suggests, the author's preferred tactic for hunting deer is tracking them in snow, an active and aggressive way to hunt. It's fair to say that one is much more likely to view unique and interesting things and events while walking a dozen or more miles per day than by spending the same time in a single location. Without giving anything away, the author has been a party to many situations which just can't be experienced from a tree stand, and the storytelling in DEER HUNTS doesn't disappoint. For those who are true tracking aficionados, the narrative provides an over-the-shoulder look at the hunting style. As the author trails deer he reveals what he sees, what he thinks and why he reacts as he does at critical moments. The expertise and invaluable insights offered guide the reader on a tour of the whitetail woods in a manner that few will ever actually experience. Whether novice or veteran hunter, tracker or stand hunter, someone who hunts alone or as a part of a larger group, DEER HUNTS has something for everyone who enjoys the woods and the whitetail deer which live there. As blunt and honest as it is interesting and informative, the book contains numerous photographs to document the author's experiences and supplement the compelling prose.
