Read most all of them, but got the most from the books written by David Morris;and the "patterning" articles by Dick Idol in North American Whitetail, in the early years of that publication.
Both these guys were the first I read to break mature buck travel patterns down by seasons, and different phases of the rut. They also keyed on different areas of the Lower 48 and Canada.
After years of watching big, rambling tracks cross mountains and swamps,and wondering where the hell he is "right now",these books made it easier to understand what you were seeing. Also showed me there is a world of difference between the habits of "deer",and mature bucks.I sometimes think they should be treated as a different species.
Anything from the Benoits is worthwhile. Hal Blood has a great reputation,and the Berniers as well, but the Benoits were the gold standard originals.
