What are y'all's suggestions for good books on whitetail hunting or hunting in general? I'd really love to find one specific to the southeast. I appreciate it!
Just ordered it! Thanks!Mapping Trophy Bucks by Brad Herndon.
He does the best job of any author I have read on explaining how terrain features influence whitetail movement. After reading his book, you can take a topo map and have a great idea on where you are most likely to see some deer, including nice bucks.
One of the best stories I have ever read is Red Letter Days in British Columbia by Lieutenant Townsend Whelen written when he was young. I have it in a book Classic Hunting Stories by Lamar Underwood.
I've heard really good things about this book. I'll have to check it out.Mapping Trophy Bucks by Brad Herndon.

1 st book I ever read, still have it in my mind as best I have readBig bucks the benoit way
Thought catman was a flatlander?I've always wanted to read or learn from an East TN type of hunter. Small deer, pressured public land etc. etc. but its hard to find a book about that. Now, Catman's stuff is great if you are looking for an East Tn. perspective.
He very well may be ( I actually don't know what a flatlander is) but I enjoy that he is a local hunting locally lol.Thought catman was a flatlander?
Thanks for the mention, Catchdawg. I found a few copies in the attic last month when I was cleaning up.Tennessee Whitetails is pretty good if your interested in the genetics and the restocking of deer across the state.
Who'd thunk the author was on here! Lol. Very interesting book, well done sir!Thanks for the mention, Catchdawg. I found a few copies in the attic last month when I was cleaning up.
I'm pretty sure catman is in W. TN. That is up on the plateau. Nothing at all like E.TN. We have hills on the East side.He very well may be ( I actually don't know what a flatlander is) but I enjoy that he is a local hunting locally lol.
You can find the opposite in South Cherokee if your willing to do the work and time.I've always wanted to read or learn from an East TN type of hunter.
