New Book: Hunting Big Mule Deer: The Stories

[BroccoliRob]

@robby denning This may have been asked & answered already, but what purchasing source (Amazon, Rokslide Store, etc) will be best for putting the most money back in your pocket?

Dude you are a good man! Thanks for asking but it's so close (with the Rokslide store a slight edge) that the decision is just "signed (available only in the Rokstore)" or unsigned from Amazon. Amazon way way faster. I won't even have them in the store until Mid July i'd say. Thanks for asking, much appreciated.

If anyone wants to read a sample of the book, the way Amazon works, is when the book first launches, if you click on the book image "look inside" they include a good chunk of the beginning and end of the book, like 30 pages. Over time, like a week, the reduce the sample to the Intro and maybe a snippet of the first few chapters. Well since it just launched, you can read a big chunk right now at this link:

I hope I can comfort you in your misery. Cow elk hunting is pretty good in a lot of places right now…

My wife is pissed…she was hoping it would take me a few weeks to finish it so I would read in bed with her at night. Crushed it in three days

Great read, totally different than the first book (which was awesome). Very entertaining and informative, loved the longer stories!

Tell her she’ll have to get creative now

Sucked in again with a fresh supply of big mule deer stories. Wife has already slapped the book out of my hands at least twice. Lawn getting long. Dog giving me the evil eye...is he ever gonna put that book down and throw me that tennis ball? Still chasing them at 75...in the woods, on the ridge tops, or in print. Good effort, RD. Keep 'em coming.

Thank you very much SageBuster for buying the book & replying on here. There are kids who get paid to walk dogs and mow lawns

My apologies to your wife. I don't believe I've ever done that, in 20 years of editing books. [LOL]

Book NOTE: Happy readers who leave happy reviews on amazon make for happy authors. I know I wouldn't want to see Denning get crabby on us.

 

[andersson]

Pretty cool buddy!!! Thanks for letting me contribute with a story!

AND IT'S A REAL KEEPER OF A STORY, TOO!

I’ve had my head down for about 6 months on this one and editor ( @andersson ) said it should be on Amazon in the next few weeks.

This is the follow up to my first book Hunting Big Mule Deer: How to Take the Best Buck of Your Life.

“The Stories” is a compilation of buck hunts I did between 2005 and 2021, both successful and unsuccessful.

I also have some great contributing authors including our own @Jared Bloomgren , @Jordan Budd , @Tony Trietch and other very successful buck hunters like Ryan Lampers, Brian Latturner, Scotty Thompson and including some who are members like @ntrlbrnhunter and @VANDAL

My good friend Mark @Muleyslayer1 Smith generously wrote the Foreward.

And of all people willing to step up with a story, it was Randy Ulmer (@randyulmer) who sent in my favorite: “Getting Even”. It’s not like anything I’ve read from him and I think you all will like it.

I’ve also included a Tips & Tactics and Mule Deer Gear Section.

To top it off, Toby Boudreau of Idaho Fish and Game, included a chapter on “The Perils of Bucks Only Hunting“ (that’ll get some guys’ shorts in a knot) and Chef John McGannon on getting the very most out of your venison.

My first book was a success, in part, due to you guys! I appreciate everyone who bought, borrowed, or posted on it.

I wanna pay you guys back with this one, so I’m going to give away 15 copies of “The Stories” to Roksliders.

I’ll draw from the first 75 posts on this thread so that the odds are good.

It’ll probably be July before I can ship, though, so keep that in mind.

Just post up anything in the comments and I’ll get you in the drawing if you make it into the first 75 posts.

thanks to all you well-known Roksliders!

*6/8/22 Edit:
OK all you WKR and not-so-much WKRs, I just hit Random.org with 16 qualified entries.

Ya, I originally said 15, but I didn’t get the thread shut down at 75 entries, so I added another book to keep the draw odds good (someone’s gotta fight for draw odds around this joint).

So here is the official list of winners:

Since it’s super hard to see the very scientific results drawn on a coffee shop napkin, I’ll tag the winners below:

There you go!

Since I won’t have my books in stock until mid-July, in the meantime…

get me an email WITH YOUR SHIPPING ADDRESS (and preferred name to sign the book to) in an email to [email protected]

I’ll confirm I received it and put you on the ship-to list.

Thanks for the support you guys.

I just ordered my copy, im looking forward to reading it!
