This book will quickly become a classic
I predict that in coming years, this book will become a classic in deer hunting, mentioned in the same sentence with Larry Koller's Shots at Whitetails, Theodore Van Dyke's The Still Hunter, and a very few others that have stood the test of time. If you want to be a ...

John Eberhart, Chris Eberhart
Stackpole Books, 2005
A Book Every Serious Bowhunter Should Have
This book and the Eberhart's other book "Bowhunting Pressured Whitetails" are the two best whitetail deer bowhunting books I have read - and I have read a lot of them. Most deer hunting books discuss tactics for hunting unpressured deer (i.e. large, privately managed ...

Bowhunting Forests & Deep Woods
Greg Miller
Krause Publications, 2006
Low Expectations
I have read all of Greg Miller's earlier works and enjoyed them. When I saw that he put out "Greatest Whitetail Adventures" I figured I would not read another. I mean, this guy is all over the hunting shows, on the sports show circuit, magazines, etc. He could just ...

Aggressive Whitetail Hunting
Greg Miller, Jeff Miller
Krause Publications, 1994
Improve Your Results With Aggrssive Whitetail Hunting
Aggressive Whitetail Hunting is a superior book on hunting trophy whitetails. Frankly, I'm tired of books were the authors spend 200 pages telling me how great they are by recounting their exploits on fully guided hunts in hunting preserves. Greg Miller is a true ...

A lot of good information - even for the novice hunter
In spite of being a beginning hunter, I found this book to be a good resource. Many illustrations, and discussion on basic technique. (Of course, a major focus of the book is how to bag that trophy buck, so most discussions tend in that direction.) I've found there ...

Little Lost Bat
Sandra Markle
Charlesbridge Publishing, 2006
An Adoption Story
As an adoptive mother, I think this story beautifully tells the story of loss and healing in adoption. It was a little over the head of my 2 year old, but my 7 year old understood and was able to see how the story relates to our family.
