Finally a book for northern bowhunters,
By
This review is from: Bowhunting Forests & Deep Woods (Hardcover)
I've read most of Greg Millers books and found them useful but they are generally geared towards hunting agricultural food sources. For those of us who hunt deer in the deep woods of the North without access to farmland, it can be a real challenge to find information which applies to our situation. This book addresses the challenge of hunting deer in terrain where animals are few and far between and don't seem to follow any clear travel routes. Very readable with lots of good tips. A key book for anyone hunting the northern US border regions or the vast forests of Canada.

Low Expectations,
By Uncle M - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bowhunting Forests & Deep Woods (Hardcover)
I have read all of Greg Miller's earlier works and enjoyed them. When I saw that he put out "Greatest Whitetail Adventures" I figured I would not read another. I mean, this guy is all over the hunting shows, on the sports show circuit, magazines, etc. He could just put out a series of compilations based on his previous books and milk the cash cow that is the modern deer hunting industry.After picking up this book I have to admit: I was absolutely wrong. This is the most honest book he has ever done. This is not the "glass the crop fields and find the hardwood funnel" tactics of 90% of the deer hunting books out there. It reminds me of the John Eberhardt bowhunting books in that it really shows you what it takes to be a consistent hunter in these environs. The work, preparation, and especially mental attitude. Greg is not preaching: he readily explains his own feelings from his earliest attempts at bowhunting. I figured Greg Miller succumed to what is the modern deer hunting industry machine. Instead I get the sense that Greg is using his position within the industry to ensure a future of respect for the quarry being hunted. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful

No Miracle Cure,

This review is from: Bowhunting Forests & Deep Woods (Hardcover)
I always hope, when I sit down to read one of these books, that there will be some piece of information in there that will make me say, "ahha! -- so that's it!". Well I've never found one before and this book doesn't have one either.For example, one of the hardest things about deepwoods hunting is determining food sources. I think his answer was that you have to scout to see what the deer are eating. But, in the deepwoods, what they're eating is probably everywhere -- so what good does that do you? Besides, how, other than by actually catching them in the act, do you determine what they're eating? Since deepwoods deer are so scarce, catching them in the act of eating is going to be very tough. His big secret is LOTS of scouting and he says it will probably take you 5 years of this type hunting (and all that scouting) before you finally figure things out. I DO like the way Greg comes across in his books and I found his descriptions of his father's deercamps, his own, early-adult deercamps, and the ones he shares with his son, now, to be touching and definitely one of the better parts of the book. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

Straight Shooter,
By Loaded for Bear - Published on Amazon.com

Mr. Miller does an excellent job of helping the aspiring big woods bow hunter understand how different the big woods are from farm country and how that effects our hunting experience and the strategies we use. I was particularly impressed with his ability to tell it like it is. He doesn't tell you that the big woods are "better". He tells the reader right away that big woods hunting requires a year-round project management approach with no shortcuts. He even spends some time to let you know that this isn't for everyone and may not be for you. But, if you are looking to take your hunting of whitetails to the next level, are willing to develop the physical and mental discipline, you can score on hard to find, low-pressured deer.
