Hi folks!

I'm trying to learn as much as I can about hunting deer and black bear before my first hunt sometime next year. Can you recommend any high-quality resources that touch on these topics?:
* strategies for stalking and locating the critters
* shot placement
* discussion of various shooting positions when hunting
* discussion of hunting-specific shooting techniques (and how they differ from target shooting)
* skinning/processing the meat after the critter is down
* cooking tips
* dangers associated with eating wild animal meat

It would be great to find one volume that covers all these topics for deer and another volume for bear - but I realize it might be impossible. So, please suggest some of your favorite books that touch on one or more of the above topics. Thanks in advance!
