HuntingLife Twenty Day Holiday Buying Guide for Sportsmen – Day Five Backyard Deer Hunting by Wm. Hovey Smith

Dedicated sportsmen like myself are always going to hunt like myself it is a part of my make up in life.  I am a hunter through and through and I live, eat, breath and sleep hunting.  That being said there are friends of mine who sometimes hunt, and ones who never hunt and ones who might someday like to hunt but do not have the information necessary in order to make an informed decision.

Backyard Deer Hunting by Wm. Hovey Smith provides a tremendous resource to hunters and non-hunters alike.  The bi-line his book is Converting Deer to Dinner for Pennies per Pound.  With chapters like setting up your hunts, getting the gear, scouting for deer, deer hunting, humanely killing big game, Finding and extracting your deer, Skinning and cleaning, larger and smaller game, Road Kill Cafe, Long-term meat storage, and cooking.  Having spent the better part of 30 plus years hunting along side my father and now hunting for my own families nourishment, I am always excited to pick up a great book and learn something and this book has something for everyone.

The recipes in the cooking section are excellent and provide a ton of knowledge.  Wild game needs to be prepared well in order for us to enjoy it and these recipes are tried and true favorites from the author.

In our rough economic times grocery shopping in the wild has become important for many families to augment and feed their families and with the tremendous growth of groups like Hunters for the Hungry and Hunters Feeding the Hungry more and more people are turning back to the wild in order to feed their families.

This book should be a part of every hunters personal library and it should be one of those books that is shared with all of your hunting buddies, friends who sometimes hunt and friends who have not hunted but might someday like to try.
