Dr. Ken Nordberg's
Whitetail Hunter's Almanac
10th Edition
Finally, the 10th Almanac is here!
Doc's 10th Almanac is now available in paperback and ebook. This book is beautiful and packed with information you will love!
This book includes: updated important information from his first 9 Almanacs, his best ideas that he has been writing about in his hunting articles over the last 21 years — including updated tree stand hunting and portable stool hunting tactics — and his latest and greatest hunting tactics. I think most hunters are going to really love learning all about Doc's latest hunting technique, “Opportunistic Stand Hunting!” This technique definitely advances the art of deer hunting.
Quote:
“Nothing can better prepare you to get right in there with mature bucks, at any point in the season. Science from the man who taught us about the rut.” Mark Strand, Editor, Midwest Outdoors

Autographs:
Doc is autographing copies with the name given in the order form. If you would like Doc to autograph your copy(s) with a different name, or in a special way, please let me know (jtnordberg@comcast.net) and I will pass it along to him.
Dimensions:
The paperback is 8 x 10 inches. There are 508 text pages, 376 photos, and 19 graphics. It weighs about 3 pounds (roughly 6 times as much as his earlier Almanacs.) This book has a lot of great information!
Canada & International Customers:
In the US, the United States Postal Service has a low cost shipping method called Media Mail. Unfortunately, this method does not go to Canada or other countries and the other shipping methods are relatively expensive.
At this time, the lowest shipping method for our international customers is through eBay. At this time, we are offering expedited shipping to US customers (Priority Shipping) and shipping to Canada and Mexico customers via this eBay Buy-It-Now item: Dr. Ken Nordberg's Whitetail Hunter's Almanac, 10th Edition on eBay. This is similar to the “Pre-order Special.” You get a free set of Sign Guides and Doc will autograph your books. The only difference is that — instead of a flat rate fee of $4.50 for Media Mail shipping — eBay can correctly calculate the shipping charges for expedited shipping and the rates to Canada and Mexico. In the shipping tab just select your shipping method and enter your postal code, and then eBay will calculate shipping costs based upon how you want it shipped, where it is going to, the package's weight (at this time the weight includes a free set of Sign Guides) and dimensions, and then adds the $1 for packaging. (Each book is shrink-wrapped and shipped in a sturdy cardboard box.)
So far I haven't set up the shipping to other countries. If you are from a country other than Canada or Mexico, let me know and I will look into it.
Orders to Canada and Mexico will be shipped via eBay's Global Shipping Proram. This saves money. For example, for one Canadian customer, if I shipped directly — not using ebay's program — the lowest cost for just the shipping (not including the book) would be $37.25 (US), but through eBay's program the shipping is $24.86 (US). It looks like eBay's program will save Canadian customers roughly $10–$13US.
For international customers, when you pay (via PayPal), PayPal will also take care of any currency exchange.
