I enjoyed the book. That guy has a lot of knowledge after that many years at it; to go 90% successful over 20 years is almost unreal. The only people I know who do that are loggers, and only one of them does it with a bow (5pt or better bulls every year for 25 years in a row). I liked the way he imparted the need for confidence in what you're trying to do and was surprised to hear how high he set his stands. I was also surprised to hear that he built his own ladders from poles he found in the woods; that one in the picture stuck out like a sore thumb, but there was still an elk in that same picture. I would have thought he would have done more calling from the stand, but he almost never did; water was his focus solely: now I've got to rethink my strategy some (not much, though, because there's water everywhere where I hunt). I liked his "7 areas to avoid placing a stand" in the scouting section.
Entertaining book. Money well spent.
