This book presents the basics of deer hunting in an informative and practical manner. It covers such areas as scents, calling, rattling, scrapes, and ruts. One of the aspects the author describes is how important scent is in the world of the deer. I thought the information was very useful. The author has many years of practical experience and he does a good job of trying to pass on this information to beginning hunters. This is a very good resource for a new deer hunter.

The author relates his experience to even the most novice hunter (myself). He has a scientific, common-sense approach to deer hunting that gives confidence in his methods and makes you want to use them. His section on deer vocalizations can be confusing, but who can communicate inarticulate sounds thru plain text... However, it is fairly easy to find recordings of deer calls on the internet to clarify this matter.
