PhD Whitetails

De: John E. Phillips

Narrado por: John Davenport

To become a "PhD Whitetail", a whitetail deer has to have gone to school on hunters. He knows when to move, where to move, and how to move to avoid detection. Most deer hunters rely on luck to occasionally have the opportunity to see a PhD buck. But the professional hunters in this book have spent their lifetimes finding these bucks-with-doctorates and putting themselves in position to take these monster bucks using hunting strategies that few of us employ.

Let's face it, getting-up before daylight, taking a shower, and washing yourself with Scent-A-Way hair and body soap, washing your clothes every night with Scent-A-Way detergent, putting those clothes in a scent-free bag and not putting on your Scent-a-way Tech 4 base layer, as well as your other hunting clothes, until you get to your hunting site, is a major hassle. Using deer lures, cover scents and deer calls requires more time than most hunters want to spend. Carrying a decoy to the stand and properly positioning it to be most effective is another hassle. However, because the men in this book perform these rituals every day, they consistently take the PhD bucks about which most of us only dream.

The men who have learned their lesson from the PhD deer are videographers, producers, TV hosts, and/or professional hunters. They have earned their PhDs in taking trophy deer from the unique animals they hunt.

Just a guy telling hunting stories. Bad narration.

The content was good. Just a guy telling what he learned on hunts, the narrator is horrible. I don't know if they did a bad job editing or if he would loose his place while reading. the first couple chapters where read ok after that 2-3 time a chapter he would say one word at a time with long a pause. It was hard to listen to like that.

Great concepts

Lots of different ideas to try and reinforcement of must dos to be successful in the deer woods

Enjoyed the book, disliked the performance

if you enjoy hunting stories read in a very choppy manner, this book is for you.

Painful to listen to

While the subject matter was good. There are MANY seemingly random pauses from the reader. Choppy reading takes away from the story telling. Seems like there was an attempt to piece together words into spots very poorly. It got better when I bumped up the playback speed, but still noticeable

cadence is awkward

stories are great, good intel too. but the narrator's cadence is broken, as though editing created pauses, breaks, and punctuation that wasn't actually intended.

Very elementary

If you have hunted for even a few years you probably know more than is portrayed in this book.Very basic and pretty much just point out the obvious”if you don’t want to spook your deer,keep the scent out of the area,etc,etc.”Not what I was expecting.Narrator leaves some to be desired
