I believe that good books should teach and entertain at the same time.
This book is an ode to my lifelong love affair with the white-tailed deer. I have led expeditions in search of extinct species, stared down bears at mere feet, chased kudu across South Africa; and yet it's the whitetail that has my heart. At its core, Tine to Table is a collection of personal stories that are meant to entertain and teach.
Tine to Table is a fascinating look at white-tailed deer hunting and wild-game cooking through the eyes of a wildlife biologist, veteran traditional bowhunter, and award-winning author.
The lessons on hunting, butchering, cooking, wildlife conservation, and even raising outdoor kids are so thoroughly woven into the stories that it’s easy to forget you’re learning.
In a chapter titled, “The Meat that Made America,” Rohrbaugh uncovers the important role that white-tailed deer played in shaping the history of our nation, from defining Native American culture to influencing the outcome of the Civil War.
As a bonus, each chapter ends with a favorite venison recipe that will convert even the most skeptical newcomer to wild game.
"This book changed my perspective on deer and how to hunt and eat them. I can't wait for fall!"
"Perfect for all the deer geeks"
"Ron has the unique ability to blend educational content with creative storytelling. This is tough to do and it comes second nature to Ron, who lives what he writes."
"A treasure trove of deer history. The Meat that Made America is my favorite chapter."
"Tine to Table is a fantastic read about the whitetail deer. Ron explains the importance of the deer to Americans as well as to his family. A highly recommended read!"

"This book is amazing! I read it in two days, I just could not put it down. The tips and techniques in here are solid, I’ve hunted for years and I learned so much from Ron in this book. His insights as a biologist are wonderful, and the things he has learned through experience are invaluable. He speaks on conservation in such a way that if you’re not already a conservationist, you’ll dang sure want to be one after this book."
"Best book on traditional archery to date. It covers a lot of material and is well written, if you get a chance it is a must read."
"This book has taken traditional archery to a whole new level. The as author does a great job at looking at both sides of the spectrum when it comes to topics that get people upset. Values are huge to me and this book greatly demonstrates that."
"I'm new to traditional archery and I heard Ron speak on the Meateater podcast. I purchased his book and thoroughly enjoyed the read. The book is a mixture of how-to advice and Ron's personal hunting stories which are exciting and full of lessons learned."
"Exceptionally written; I was engrossed with every turn of the page! A must read for anyone who uses traditional gear or has to the urge to do so!"
"As a new hunter I have read many bowhunting books recently, and I have to say that “A Traditional Bowhunter’s Path” has been the most helpful. There are chapters on topics that are rarely talked about in hunting books such as how to use field guides to better understand habitat, and hunting from the ground which is often overlooked. There is also a refreshing conservation spirit that prevails throughout the entire book. Don’t think that this book is only for those shooting a traditional bow, personally I shoot a compound for now."
