The Ultimate Guide to Deer Hunting: Tips and Tactics for Every Situation

The most abundant big-game animal in North America, the white-tailed deer thrives near places where people live. In The Ultimate Guide to Deer Hunting, David Richey explains how to hunt whitetails on the fringes, where forests meet farmlands and populated areas. Here deer find adequate cover in woodlots, take in ample nourishment from wild foods and farm crops, and often grow trophy antlers.

All the important techniques are covered in this useful guide: hunting from a treestand or ground blind, stalking, driving, reading wind direction, concealing yourself properly, and locating and hunting escape routes and feeding areas. Richey also suggests the best guns and loads for hunting whitetails. (6 x 9, 368 pages, color and b&w illustrations)
