Title: Good hunting related books to read in the off season
Post by: Kumacub on December 26, 2024, 09:34:35 AM: Good Morning all,

I am looking for some more books to read in the off season. This year I am planning on reading about black tails as I have only read 3 books so far on mule deer hunting. What are some books you recommend that relate to WA state black tails and hunting on the west side with modern rifle and with bows? Do people here tend to still hunt black tails, glass, intercept between transition zones, saddle hunt, etc. I am just trying to gain as much knowledge as possible so I can hopefully become successful at hunting. Thanks again for all previous information/advice everyone has already given me before. Maybe one day I can post the first success story.

I don't know how great of a blacktail hunter he is, but I like his style typically when it comes to other things. THese two might be easier to come by, but Iversons is pretty much the standard I think and often on most folks shelf
