"No other deer hunting book like it. The Deer Hunter's Almanac is
the ultimate guide to hunting deer across North America." -Peter
Fiduccia, author of Whitetail Strategies
"There is not a successful deer hunter in the world who has not come up
with his own peculiar methods -- some of them secret, some not -- for
beating the long odds of killing a deer.
In this book we have tried to compile some of the best information and
most interesting pieces written about deer in Sports Afield since the
magazine was founded in 1887. There were not as many deer to hunt back
then, but over the last quarter century deer populations have boomed in
nearly every state but Alaska and Hawaii, and so have the articles
written about them. Many of these pieces originally appeared in the
Sports Afield Almanac, which was introduced by Editor Ted Kesting in
1972; others appeared as departments or short features. All told, more
than 250 deer hunters contributed, making this, we hope, a very unique
look at what is now America's favorite game animal. Some of the
contributors-like Dwight Schuh and Peter Fiduccia, Tom McIntyre and Ted
Kerasote-are what we would call pros. They have hunted, studied and
written about deer all their lives. Others are just guys who wanted to
share a couple of their best deer-hunting secrets. Do not be surprised
if you turn up some contradictory views. There's more than one way to
shoot, skin, and cook a deer; but it may be that the best way of all is
the one you have to figure out on your own." "This is the finest book on
whitetail hunting that I have seen." -- Larry Myhre, Sioux City Journal
