Never seen a paperback version, but "The old man" or "Grandad" have worked out well for me. There's some hardcase bits in both versions, and some sad bits especially at the end of "Grandad". Maybe "Good Mates" will work out well for you.
Enough of the humour, I'm yet to find a book that'll help. Failing a book, YouTube is probably your best search. That and practice, goats are usually plentiful in most areas and share a very similar make up to deer.
I understand many find this book pretty handy to have around. I learned a shitload and refer to it on the regular. Red Deer in New Zealand, Roger Lentle Frank Saxton - Shop Online for Books in NZ

This is quite a good book too
Hunting Smarter for Big Game by Hans Willems - ISBN: 9781877566189 (Halcyon Press)
I have that book too Josh and agree it is very informative. Hans has a different, almost scientific aproach to hunting at times. He applys a lot of logic too.
