 Whitetail Addicts Manual

Proven Methods for Hunting Trophy Whitetails

 By T.R. Michels

 

The Whitetail Addicts Manual (Creative Publishing International), by big-game expert T.R. Michels, provides whitetail hunters, whether they are novices or experts, with the information they need to understand the biology and behavior of white-tailed deer. There are over 17 million whitetail hunters in North America, making whitetails the most popular species to hunt on this continent.

The Whitetail Addicts Manual is based on more than 10 years of research by T.R. Michels, who studied how trophy whitetails behave in a range of conditions. The book helps hunters know how to locate deer in existing conditions and arms them with highly successful archery and firearm tactics and techniques for each rut phase. There are several chapters on the biology and behavior of whitetails, as well as tactics and techniques for scouting, observing, locating, patterning, and hunting. The knowledge that hunters gain from this comprehensive book will not only help them be more successful hunters, it will help them take more trophy bucks-the goal of all whitetail addicts.

T.R. Michels is nationally recognized for his action-packed, informative seminars, which are based on his experience as a wildlife researcher and professional guide. He is also a well-known outdoor writer and has authored 17 books. T.R. lives in Minneapolis, MN.

Rating - Whitetail Addict's Manual
The whitetail addicts is for any hunter looking for new outlooks, suggestions, and methods on hunting. I purchased it for my husband, anything hunting is a great purchase! However, the author is very helpful and even communicated with me prior to the purchase of his book. That says alot about his passion and knowledge. Great purchase, with lots of knowledge.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars- Whitetail Addicts
I enjoy studying the biology of deer and hunting them; I am a farmer, forester, and educator. I have quite a few books on deer in my collection and I would rank this one right up there in the top 10%. The man who wrote it obviously has a lot of experience with deer, and interweaves hunting knowledge with biology. It is a good book to read and then come back to. I might add that other deer books in this series have been pretty high quality and enjoyable reads as well.

 

Since I wrote the initial review for this book, I have gone back and reread it from cover to cover. The first chapter is a long one on deer biology and is excellent. The rest of the book weaves the biology of the deer into hunting methods attempting to overcome deers' ability to scent, sight, and see you. The author is painfully shy and seldom appears in pictures in the book, but the book is profusley illustrated with excellent photos and illustrations. This book was printed by an outfit that has an excellent group of books on hunting and fishing. If I could only have one book in my library on deer hunting, it just might possibly be this one.

I did what you said and immediately found a rub line from where they had seen (the bucks). I worked it backwards into heavy cover and was astounded by the size and sheer numbers of rubs. It sets up so well for an afternoon hunt. Thanks for the help.

Sir,

My name is SSgt Brian Krejca. I am currently stationed at the Marine Artillery Detachment Ft. Sill, Oklahoma. I would really like a copy of your Whitetail Addict's Manual.

Thank you for your support of the military.

As a Minnesota native your website is very helpful. I hunt the Hill City/Grand Rapids area and will be up for the opener on the 8th. Hope your season goes well. Thanks for the great info and your time.

Take care and happy hunting.

Sir-

Thanks for the book! I did like the research on deer activity and the charts. I was so convinced of your data that I hunted based on the temperature and wind chill. That day, I arrowed a buck!!! The book looks great and I will send a more thorough review when I am finished.

I'm back in the states and working my way through the Complete Whitetail Addicts manual. Great book just like the Turkey Addicts Manual and even more thorough. Unbelievable amount of information. It may take me a while to finish.

Rut Phase Indicator E-mail Cat.# RPI $8

Helps you determine which rut phase is in progress. These two charts detail the eight different phases of the rut, describe the signs that indicate when each phase is in progress, and tell you when and where to hunt during each phase.

Rut Dates Chart E-mail Cat.# RDC $30

This chart provides you with the dates of the whitetail rutting period and peak breeding dates for each state. Helps you know when to expect peak scraping and breeding activity, which is when the bucks are generally the most active during the day. .

Moon Indicator E-mail Cat.# MI $10

Several different deer research studies have shown that the daily activity of deer, including trophy class bucks, peaks each month as a result of at least three different lunar factors, and, that when two or more of those factors coincide during the same week, more daytime buck activity is likely to occur during daytime hours, than at other time during the month. When one or more of these lunar factors occur during the same timeframe as the scraping and breeding phases of the rut, hunter are more likely to see bucks moving during the day than normal. However, Moon Indictor cannot predict peak whitetail breeding dates, because the moon does not affect when whitetail does come into estrus.
