  • get immediate results with time honored tactics and develop expert familiarity with the latest hunting technology!

Greg has seen more deer in the last 2 hunts than all of last year!

"Deer Secrets" really clarified many of hunting tactics that I had learned from my dad while growing up on a quail plantation in South Georgia as well as gave me some new tactics to use. This book does a great job of explaining the habits and habitats of the White Tail. I was able to start applying many of the tactics suggested in the book at my hunt club here in South Carolina. I have experienced immediate success during my first two hunting trips after finishing the book. I have seen more deer than I did during the whole season last year. I am very optomistic about having a very successful season this year. Thanks "Deer Secrets"!

From : Joe Pineland

As a man who is absolutely obsessed with hunting and who interprets the world through the lens of hunting, I see the entire hunting world based upon 3 types of people:

  • #1: The Consistently Successful Hunter

  • #2: The Hunter Who Relies on Luck

  • #3: The Hunters Who Just Don't Know What To Do But Would Like To Improve

For all the #1 folks, how would you like to ramp up your skills a notch and be known as a legend?

For all the #2 folks, did you know you can learn just a small handful of tips and fundamentals that will turn the tide towards success right away?

For the #3 folks, taking control requires an organized and systematic education of the fundamentals. How would you like to lay the groundwork for a lifetime of success starting now?

Well, let me tell you right now, all of the above is possible, a lifetime of hunting success is available right now.

It doesn't matter what group you fall into. What matters is that you have an insatiable desire to harvest the type of deer you dream of.

Any Hunter The Success They Desire


Come Share My Obsession and Passion For Hunting

My friends call me a hunting savant. Like The Rainman was good with numbers that is me with hunting.

My wife says that although I may lose the keys, forget to take out the garbage and yes forget to put the toilet seat down, my laser focus and obsession with hunting gives me, as my wife and family say nearly psychotic insight to the way whitetail behave.

My Christmas tree has deer ornaments, my envelopes have a deer next to the return address, and well . . you get the picture. I live and breath deer hunting. I say that really there are two types of people in the world, deer hunters and those that aren't yet deer hunters.

Sit next to me on an airplane and if you aren't a hunter before, well I guarantee you will seriously be considering it by the time we land. One cousin calls me a "deer hunting evangelist." I would say that that is actually a pretty accurate description.

Mike says "I recommend this book for hunters of any level"

I found your ebook "Deer Secrets" quite interesting. The content is straight forward and easy to comprehend. I especially liked the pictures and diagrams and how they are used to emphasize the material. As a middle of the road deer hunter, not a novice nor an expert, I expect to employ the tips and techniques you suggest on future hunts. I recommend this book for hunters of any level. . . . . . I look forward to future publications.

Ron impressed the experienced hunters at his local hunt club!

I can tell you this information has been right on point with my experience. . . .The first hunt I was involved a big 8 point was killed. The hunter was actually in the wrong spot from where they told him to go. When I saw where the Deer was shot my first thought was "Deer Secrets." It was exactly as described in the book. Last but not least the members asked me many questions as a safety precaution knowing I am a new hunter and their reply was you have a lot of knowledge for a beginning hunter.

Chad now picks and chooses what he shoots at with newfound hunting confidence!

Joe, just wanted to say thanks. after reading all the info from your (ebook), I was more confident and couldn't wait to get out in the woods. I've been out with guys that have gotten a buck every year but they've just been lucky. I shared with them some of the signs that you said to look for and they had no clue on alot of it. The first day out I saw 6 does and 2 seperate bucks on their own. Thanks to you I have been able to pick and
choose what I want to shoot at instead of the first buck (I see).

Deer Secrets gets another rusty hunter back in the game!

I haven't hunted in thirty years. I gave it up because of my career and family committments. I have now returned, after retirement, to the outdoors where I belong.

My first hunt was a disaster. I was astonished at how much I had forgotten and how disorganized I was.

I bought Joe's "Deer Secrets" to get me back on track. It stirred up lost memories and answered questions I never had answers for. I have found the book to be full of very useful information. The sections on habits and scouting were especially useful.

This kind of information is not easily obtained. The hunters who know it are usually too busy hunting to share it. Great job, Joe. Thanks for the effort.

This 30 year hunting veteran especially impressed with the sections on deer behavior!

I have been hunting here in Canada for the last 30 yrs and every now and
then I read a hunting book or find an article in a magazine that makes me
refresh and hone my hunting skills , well Deer Hunting Secrets did just that
and more as I found my self remembering different scenarios that I have
personally been through and not know why deer acted a certain way well now
it makes sense . Thanks for the great info.

This 45 year hunting veteren says"I have just re-read the book for the fifth time,
and I gain more confidence and savvy each time I read it."

Thanks so much for your ebook about Deer Hunting Secrets.
I have deer hunted for over 45 years now, and am well read
on the subject. I thought that I would order your ebook just
to see if there was a little nugget of info in it that I had not
come across elsewhere. Please let me say that I was some-
what surprised to find that not only was there great info in
your book, but it was written to be completely understandable
for everyone.
I have had the book now for about two weeks,
and have printed out a hard copy which I have placed into
a 3-ring binder. I have just re-read the book for the fifth time,
and I gain more confidence and savvy each time I read it.

I deer hunt with bow, muzzle loader, shotgun, handgun and
rifle and I find that your tactics are good for each and every
one of these choices. Thanks again Joe, you have certainly
given me more for my money than I bargained for. In one
hour a-field two days ago, I watched two mature does at
20 yards for over 15 minutes as I awaited a buck to show.
Just yesterday, within 45 minutes a-field, I saw two nice
8-point bucks and a big spike buck, over 5" spikes. I
chose not to shoot any of the three, as I didn't get the shot
I wanted, which is broadside or quartering away.
Last week I say a nice 8-point at 10 to 12 yards, but passed
up the shot as he was coming straight into me on stand.

Deer vote will define agency's identity

Thought you guys and gals would find this article interesting. Its from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

On April 17 and 18 the Pennsylvania Game Commission will meet to finalize hunting seasons and bag limits for the 2006-07 hunting year. Its agenda covers small game, wild turkey, bear, elk and fur bearers but the Commission's decisions regarding white-tailed deer will attract the greatest attention.

Under scrutiny by some interests who want more deer and others who want fewer, the Commission will decide the schedule of deer seasons and the number of antlerless deer licenses it will issue.

This meeting finds the Board of Game Commissioners in a position of conflict. After decades of encouraging high deer populations, a majority of the current board members have directed a recent effort to reduce deer to ease damage to forests and farms. Many hunters, though, disapprove and are asking the Commission to let the herds rebound. The agency is in financial crisis and needs an increase in hunting license fees to remain in operation.

Numerous legislators have stated they will block such an increase unless the Commission accommodates dissatisfied hunter demands.

The intensity of pressure on commissioners is evident in two separate hearings convened by legislators over recent weeks. In late March, Representatives Dan Surra (Elk County), Ed Staback (Luzerne), James Shaner (Fayette) and Mike Hanna (Clinton) held a hearing at a DuBois fire hall where most speakers expressed their dismay with recent Game Commission policies they say have reduced the herds.

Reporting on the DuBois hearing, the Williamsport Sun-Gazette quoted Ray Werts, president of the Western Clinton County Sportsmen Association. "As hunters grow up without seeing many deer, it is a disappointment to them. People tell me they saw lots of bear and bear tracks, but the deer [last hunting season] were pitiful," Werts said.

Werts recommended cuts in antlerless license allocations in Wildlife Management Unit 2G, dominated by State Forests in northcentral Pennsylvania.

The Sun-Gazette reported that Bob's Army and Navy Store owner Robert Grimminger testified, "With the shape the deer herd is in, we might as well go hunt in Nebraska ... We have to do something to accommodate Pennsylvania deer hunters."

On Tuesday, the House of Representatives Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee heard testimony in Harrisburg from farm, environmental and forestry groups that want the Game Commission to continue its current policies and provide private landowners and communities with additional options for managing deer.

"Farmers in general are concerned that some constituencies are pursuing policy that would again increase the deer population and those policies would be harmful to most of the stakeholders represented here today. We are truly at a crossroads," said Craig Sweager representing the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau.

Tim Schaeffer, executive director of Audubon Pennsylvania said damage caused by over-abundant deer is not confined to farms and that the state's public forests, such as those in Wildlife Management Unit 2G are at high risk. "The abundance of native wildflowers and other forest-floor plants has been greatly diminished, shrub species have been dramatically decreased or eliminated, and the variety of tree species has declined. Birds and other wildlife that depend on forest vegetation have also been affected," he said.

Gregg Robertson, president of the Pennsylvania Landscape and Nursery Association told the committee his organization's members spend an average of $20,000 every year to control deer damage and that some nursery businesses could not absorb the loss.

Observers of the Game Commission expect hunter concessions to win approval at the meeting, including fewer antlerless tags and, possibly, abandonment of the concurrent two-week season for antlered and antlerless deer in some regions.

The votes could reveal whether the current board of commissioners views the primary responsibility of the Pennsylvania Game Commission as one of providing acceptable outdoor recreation to its financial supporters, or, alternatively, managing the wildlife resources of a diverse Commonwealth.

Hunters Save Bird From Extinction

Any news that gets the word out that hunters and conservation go hand in hand is welcomed, way to go!

Tuesday, December 13, 2005WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- A hunting lodge with antler chandeliers and stuffed ducks on the walls seems a strange place to celebrate the comeback of the ivory-billed woodpecker, but wildlife officials are doing exactly that. They credit hunters in particular with helping bring the rare bird back from presumed extinction in the Big Woods section of Arkansas."The people of Arkansas, the hunting and fishing community, conserved these woods," Scott Simon of The Nature Conservancy told reporters on Monday at the Mallard Pointe Lodge, where a coalition of environmentalists, academics and wildlife officials rejoiced in woodpecker's return to the living.Simon said hunters and others helped save the bird in large part by buying Duck Stamps, at $15 each. These stamps are not for postage, but pay for a federal migratory bird conservation fund, and eventually added up to $41 million to reclaim much of the habitat of the endangered woodpecker."The $41 million went into the land before the ivory bill showed up," Simon said.The ivory-billed woodpecker was believed extinct for the last 60 years, and various reports of sightings of the big bird -- jet black and bright white with a red crest on the male -- were dismissed by professional ornithologists.Their skepticism was warranted because of the destruction of the big old trees over much of the American southeast that began after the U.S. Civil War. The ivory bill's large size, with a body perhaps 20 inches long means it needs large trees to nest in. It is known to scale the bark off old, dying and dead trees to get at the cigar-sized grubs that live there.But that was before an amateur naturalist said he saw one while paddling in the Cache River National Wildlife Refuge in February 2004. When he brought two bird experts to the same spot, they saw it too. And when a professor captured the bird in flight in fuzzy but authentic video, an analysis of all the data pointed to the startling fact that the ivory bill was back.The ivory bill's public rediscovery last April energized a massive search in eastern Arkansas. Starting in November, teams of paid experts and volunteers have been scouring the Big Woods for signs of the bird.In this, too, hunters are allies, according to Scott Henderson, director of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission."The deer hunter and the duck hunter out there are some of the best eyes and ears we've got," Henderson said. "We have 7,000 hunters in this same area for eight hours at a time or more in some cases."Good observers are essential to catching a glimpse of the camera-shy ivory bill. So far, some 20,000 hours of searching by dozens of trained observers have failed to spot the bird. But that is understandable, given each woodpecker's presumed 12 mile foraging range. Experts do not know how many ivory-billed woodpeckers might exist in this area.The total search area in Arkansas takes in 550,000 acres of forest and swamp. Since last year, searchers have covered about 62 square miles.Henderson acknowledged that hunters were concerned at first that the urge to protect the woodpecker's habitat would limit access to hunting areas, but he said this has not happened.Game officials want to avoid what Henderson called a "spotted owl situation" -- the clash of interests that occurred in the 1980s between wildlife preservationists and loggers in the U.S. northwest over protecting the small bird.

Ted Nugent on CNBC

Just caught an interview with Ted Nugent on the Donny Deutsch Show on CNBC. Listening to Donny Deutsch was eye-opening because it was amazing to see how some segments of the media are actually incapable of seeing the merits of hunting.

Ted Nugent made some great points about our roles in conservation, fostering discipline in our kids when teaching them to hunt, the hunter's oath to make harvests quick, and maintaining population control on wildlife.

The question is how do we educate the rest of America about the merits of hunting? I would love to hear your comments.

The Top Ten Myths of Deer Hunting

In talking with hunters all over the US, I have found that even some great hunters still hold on to common myths of deer hunting. In this article I would like to expose what I consider to be the top ten myths of deer hunting.

Myth #1
Big bucks roam frequently roam.

Truth #1
Big bucks have a home territory that they usually stay in. They may roam some during the rut in search of does in estrus.

Myth#2
Bucks bed in the thickest cover.

Truth #2
Bucks will bed in thick cover but they will also bed in thin cover on hills and ridges where they can view approaching predators

Myth #3
Finding frequent scrapes close together means there is a big buck in the area.

Truth #3
This is most likely the work of a younger buck that is showing off his prowess. A mature buck will make big scrapes but not as many as a 1 to 2 year old.

Myth #4 and #5
Big bucks don't walk in doe trails.

Bucks follow behind does to avoid danger.

Truth #4 and #5
Big bucks normally don't walk in doe trails except during rutting season. A dominant buck will walk a doe trail and behind does when he is following a doe in estrus.

Myth #6
A full moon is bad for hunting.

Truth #6
Scientific research has found that the second full moon after the fall equinox starts the rutting season in central and northern states.

Myth #7
Spooked deer run for miles.

Truth #7
While deer can run 35 - 40 mph, they will run for only a couple of hundred yards when frightened.

Myth #8
The rut lasts only a few days.

Truth #8
Does come into estrus individually. Does that do not breed during their first estrus of the season will enter into estrus again in about a month.

Myth #9
The size of a buck's antlers indicates his age.

Truth #9
While antler size usually increases with age, the age of a buck cannot be determined by the size of his antlers. Antler size and number of points varies with the individual based on genetics and nutrition.

Myth #10
There's no need to stay out hunting in the middle of the day because the deer are resting.

Truth #10

A Great Secret For Gun Owners

One of the subscribers asked me a question about
buying guns wholesale. The best
way to do this is by getting a
Federal Firearms License.

If you have a Federal Firearms License
you can save yourself money by buying wholesale
and sell to your friends and coworkers. You will never
pay $20-$50 for a transfer fee again. You can buy and
sell guns with this BATF approved license.

Get Your Federal Firearms License Now!

You can get them through the mail,
with no hassle and no time wasted.

It can take time but it may be worth. There is a
kit that can make sure you do it right the first time.
Or you can do it for free on your own.

Expect to pay some money by the time
you finish the gov. process but if you have
any hunting buddies or relatives looking
to buy a gun you will make it up in no time
and may even consider starting a side business.

Hunters Feeding The Hungry

I just wanted to tell you about a great organization if you are not aware of it.
The name of the organization is called Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry (FHFH).
There website says it all ",During our first six years (1997-2003) FHFH has been responsible for the processing of 1,400 tons (nearly 12,000,000 servings)of venison and other big game for soup kitchens and food pantries across America. These 'little cows' providean abundant and nutritious source of protein desperatelyneeded by feeding programs. From the beginningof time farmers and hunters have been the members ofsociety called to provide food for others. FHFH allowshunters to return to their heritage as 'food providers'."
Awesome!
http://www.fhfh.org
With the much maligned status of hunters in some segments of the media, it is up to us to continue a great tradition and further it by helping those with the time and inclination to provide clear and charitable work that furthers the integrity of the sport and its long established tradition in North America! FHFH is doing great work. I encourage you to check them out!
