Hey Legend, any chance those of us who spend a lot of time behind the wheel could get this in audio book format? 😁
in the works, but no promises. All I have time to do is read the book into a microphone, not naviagate the entire audio-book world. But I have a guy in Texas who's trying to help me with all that right now. Time's at an absolute premium in my life right now, so it's gotta be efficient if this is going to come to life.
I'll put you down for the pre-sale! ;)

Robby- just throwing another voice out there for extra motivation. I’d buy the crap out of that audio book!

Awesome, thanks for sharing.

Maybe some energetic dude (ala Paul (ElkNut) or Chris Roe from the elk world) could narrate for you 😁

I’ve enjoyed many of the books already mentioned. I’d add that I listen to any podcast about mule deer hunting when Ryan Lampers is the guest.

Sure! He has his own podcast, Hunt Harvest Health. He also appears on The Rich Outdoors, Eastman’s Elevated, Solo Hunter, and Hunt Back Country podcasts fairy often. You can search for his name in your podcasts app and it will pull up the episodes he’s on.

Robby "the Legend" Denning has a great book. Eastman's High Country Mule Deer is a classic book as well. Avery Adventures has some really good podcasts with Robby Denning. I'd also suggest listening to Aron Snyder for gear information. Randy Newberg has some great e-scouting information. Do your homework, then come up with very specific questions for the biologists in your hunt area. Brady Miller is also very knowledgeable, so I'd read articles or listen to podcasts he's in.

However, there is no substitute for getting out and knowing your area. So if possible, wear last years model coat, carry an older bow and spend more time out scouting if you have to make a decision between gear and gas.
Picking it up this week. Thanks!

Great book advice. Glad I found this thread. I've wondered if what I know from many punched tags matches up with what even more experienced guys teach. Of course there's always more to learn and combining reading, research and trial and error certainly shortens the learning curve. Looking forward to reading a few of the recommended books.

I read Dwight Schuh 's book on Mule Deer hunting. Lots of great information in there. But it is geared towards hunting high-country / the west.

The principals were good, but I had to learn what worked in my area. Don't be afraid to experiment, bend the rules, improvise / adapt / overcome (voice in my head just shifted to Gunny Highway : )

Good luck!

I am looking for a copy of Robby's book locally (Idaho Falls area). Barnes & Noble doesn't have it in stock at the moment. Anyone have any suggestions or do I need to order online? Thanks!

Thanks Lone Hunter! I was hoping to find locally to have a weekend read while it rains here but I may be SOL and just have to order it.
