Review

"Because there are states, areas, and seasons that require deer hunting be done with shotguns, there is a need for a well-writ­ten book on the subject. Dave Henderson, a well-known deer hunter and author, has stepped up to the plate. The result is an excellent book on the subject. In Henderson's Shotgunning for Deer, he reveals the history, selec­tion, and use of the deer hunter's shotgun. Whether you use buck­shot or slugs, this 128-page book with 300 color photos will become an invaluable resource."
--Progressive Farmer "If you have ever used a shotgun for deer hunting or if you have thoughts of doing so, you sim­ply must have this book. Dave Henderson is perhaps the leading figure in hunting with and writing about the activity. His experience is vast in the deer woods. And with the advent of modern rifled barrels and state-of-the-art slug technology, Henderson has used his shotguns for antelope, bears, bison, and caribou. When he writes, it is from experience."
--Tony Kinton, Mississippi Wildlife Enforcement "For you purists, in case you didn't know it, the two largest bucks were taken with a shot­gun (in New York in the 1930s). You can learn plenty more about hunting with shotguns by read­ing the book."
--Duke O'Malley, Daily Southtown
