Mule Deer Hunters' Bible

By: John E. Phillips

Narrated by: John Davenport

Length: 5 hrs and 24 mins

Publisher's summary

A mule deer hunter never can know everything about hunting these animals because they live in over 18 states, Canada, and Mexico, and all types of terrains, including the mountains, the plains, and in deserts and creek bottoms. They’re hunted with bows, rifles, sniper rifles, and black-powder rifles. This audiobook tells how more than 30 mule-deer hunting disciples find and take mule deer at different times of the seasons. Mule-deer hunting is for all people - the young, the old, the physically challenged, and the extremely athletic. Let this bible be your guide to a wide variety of hunting techniques for mule deer, including long-range shooting.

too much marketing

there are too many plugs for all of the sponsors to let this be enjoyable.

It’s not the mule deer guide you’re looking for if a hunter. Just stories and gear links.

Reads the entire URL of links, gets annoying. Doesn’t discuss tactics per say, more so stories of how other people harvested their deer. I haven’t found a mule deer book on audible for hunting. If this book is considered the “bible” then these book I’m going to mention must be the holy grail. Check out Robby Dennings book, or the complete guide to mule deer hunting by Sam Curtis.

Too many dictated URLs

Had to stop listening. The book would probably be descent if not for the monotonous URL pitches every three minutes. It seems like the book was written solely for the purpose of advertising for products and websites.

Difficult to listen to

Has some good stories and some good info. But it’s tough as an audio book with the constant website plugs.

absolute garbage

Can't say enough about how much of a waste of time and money this book is. almost zero information about deer or hunting deer and the rest is about how one of the Drury's shot his big buck, what guide he uses, what equipment he uses(complete with links to websites so you can buy all the crap that they use..... seriously dozens of links) what was Drury's most difficult shot, what was his longest shot, what is his most difficult hunt..... who cares! all about guides in Alberta, how the guides will berate you for not being in shape (which is crap as a former guide)...... the list goes on and on.....DON'T get this crap book.

hope you enjoy 5 hours of advertising.

I couldn't even listen after 5 minutes. it is all about advertising. terrible narrator.

I believe this book is one large product advertisement and that the author is a con.

Throughout the book he is advertising products, it seems like an advertisement in every other sentence, it is so annoying! He doesn’t really give any tips except for basic superficial information that seem like common sense such as buy good boots “oh I use blank and you can buy it at www.blank.com” Then he advertises his shooting class. Other than this is just stories that I don’t buy. Worst hunting book I’ve ever bought, I’m asking for a refund.

reads very poorly

reads very poorly on audible and I couldn't handle it. wish there was a refund. spells out websites over and over again. stay away.

Trust the other reviews

This book has plenty of wisdom and advice to impart. I had read the reviews about how annoying it is being read aloud web address after web address but I thought i could ignore it. Turns out it really is pretty excessive. Every time the author mentions a person, place, article, firearm, bow, arrow, release, broadhead, optic, GPS, range finder, an app, crossbow, boots, pants, companies, farms or any other noun you can imagine, the narrator is going to spend the next five to ten seconds verbatim reading a full website address or link. Unfortunately, there aren't many mule deer hunting books on Audible, so there aren't really any other options.

Good muley book

Good hunting stories, picked up some tips. But, this would be a better book to actually read rather than listen to as the spoken URLs are frequent and monotonous. Otherwise, as I head to the badlands for my first bow spot and stalk on mule deer, it's a great way to get get excited for the season!
