The "science" part is maybe a bit oversold, but it's more recent and updated than Boyd's book (which is also very good). Both of them are worth a read, and probably more than one.

The day I learned the most about them was about 10 years ago in a tree stand bear hunting. To make it short I watched a big boy probly a 150 class 5x5 walk under my feet . He would take 3 or 4 steps stop sniff ears out and freeze. He would stay still for about 20 seconds flick his tail and move 5 feet and repeat In doing this he would pick a leaf here and there. I watched him for over an hour. I set 3 cameras in there glassed
it from about 200 yards away and never saw that deer again. I guess that’s why they call them ghosts.
