Hunting Superbucks: How to Find and Hunt Today's Trophy Mule and Whitetail Deer

From Library Journal
Though we're now in the hot grip of August, it'll soon be deer season, and many hunters are already oiling their rifles and dreaming of Bambi burgers. Etling's 1989 volume provides a soup-to-nuts guide to tracking and bagging six-, eight-, ten-, and even 12-point and larger trophy bucks. If you can score one of these bruisers, you get a winter's worth of fine meat and a hat rack at the same time. Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.


Book Description
Have you always dreamed of taking a monster buck? Well, before you pull the trigger on that eight-pointer, here's a chance to get some really big antlers. In Hunting Superbucks, Kathy Etling - with help from dozens of Boone & Crockett and Pope & Young club record holders - provides advice that is better than you'll get anywhere else. Yet Hunting Superbucks is not just about hunting advice. It also includes observations from many of the most respected authorities working in deer research today. Listen as wildlife biologists discuss how dominant bucks learn to survive, and how superbuck hunters can use this knowledge in the field. Lifestyles, habits, foods, genetics, and other secrets of the big bucks are here, as well as practical field information. Learn how to read superbuck signs such as rubs and scrapes; where and when to hunt for the bucks that made them; and how to rattle and call effectively. Etling also shows why a superbuck behaves differently from a six-pointer, and includes the special techniques that today's hunter needs to know in order to pursue such a deer. So follow the best trophy hunters in the United States and Canada as they outwit the smarter, older, harder-hunted, and - above all - bigger trophy deer.
