There are perhaps none better than Alsheimer. You may not always agree but it’s hard to argue with his experience and success.

[Acc13 · Rating 4 out of 5]

The author's intimate understanding of deer and deer behavior is evident in the quality of the prolific photos he has taken of deer in the wild. These photos alone are compelling enough to spend some time browsing through. The proximity required to take many of these impressive photos is stunning.

Very short read - the explanations are all pretty high-level and sometimes a little glossed-over, so other sources were required to fill in missing information.
Also, some chapters were specific to his own experiences or to nature photography, so they are not pertinent to the majority of his audience (deer hunters).

His religious waxings were not offensive or burdensome; but they are omnipresent.

Deer hunting methods and conditions vary throughout the United States but have some factors in common. The author looks at the life cycle of the whitetail and offers some strategies that might work in the Eastern and Northern regions of the country. Food and habitat are addressed. He provides some personal stories.
