Your 3 favorite whitetail books (including books with hunting stories)

[Lou (Louis)]

I can only recommend one (which is why I am asking):
Tales of Whitetails by Archibald Rutledge.

If you’re looking for tactics stuff Tony Peterson has one that’s pretty good and very easy to read. I always liked reading about the Benoit brothers tracking deer!

Are the Benoit books story or instruction or both, sir?

I've read Big Bucks the Benoit way and How to bag the biggest buck of your life. Both are good books. The original first edition Biggest buck of your life book is worth a couple hundred dollars if anybody has one. Luckily they reprinted it so you can get them pretty cheap now.

A really good how to book for hunting hill country is Mapping Trophy Bucks by Brad Herndon. That book made me a better hunter.

Currently reading Benoit Bucks by Bryce Towsley. Good book with cool stories and lots of instruction. Very informational and entertaining!

I thought Come November is a myth??? I mean, whenever I look for one available it seems to be.

 

[WoodBow]

For big bucks only is a good book put out by north american hunting club many years ago. I'd give someone my copy but it looks like you can pick up a used copy online for cheaper than I can even ship it to you. I like buying used books through ebay with free shipping.
