Product Description
White-tailed deer hunters working public lands know the competition to bag big bucks is tough. Fortunately, there is a powerful--and underutilized--tool available to all hunters that can dramatically increase success in the field: The U.S.G.S. topographical map. By learning to read "topo maps" and understanding how deer relate to their landscape, hunters can learn to consistently put themselves in a position to bag trophy whitetails. Author Brad Herndon explains the basic concepts of using topographical maps effectively and implementing sound terrain hunting strategies in this new must-have guide. From inside corners and double inside corners to the perfect funnel and mastering the wind, readers will get a better concept of using the wind and understanding topographical maps. Illustrations show details of how deer move, where the hunter should place his stand, and how to use the wind to ensure a successful whitetail hunt. * Increase the odds of bagging a trophy whitetail with a topographical map * Features tactics for implementing sound terrain hunting strategies * Includes detailed illustrations

A Master's Course in hunting mature whitetails

Comment:
This book could be a textbook for a master's degree in whitetail hunting. If it were, its course description would read something like this: "How to use topographic maps, aerial photos and plat books to develop a terrain strategy, giving consideration to wind and approach avenues, to find and predict when to use high-percentage stands for harvesting mature whitetail deer in forest and farmland." Since a master's degree in hunting mature whitetails isn't available, you can do no better than immerse yourself in this book.
According to the author, hunting mature bucks is all about terrain strategy and wind. If you don't handle these two things correctly, your success may be dependent on nothing more reliable than luck. He gives plenty of information, including case studies, to demonstrate how these two things interact and how you can use them to your advantage.
For about the price of a box of shells, Mapping Trophy Whitetails might be your best resource for positioning yourself within bow or gun range of a mature buck. Whether you're a trophy hunter or not, deer hunting is now more challenging than ever and the lessons here will aid your success.

Comment:
As a recently new hunter I found this book to contain quite a variety of useful information on using maps as they relate to whitetails. I wish there weren't so many full page pictures or stores about the author's hunts but all in all I am satisfied with my purchase.

Best Hunting Book You'll Ever Buy

Comment:
We run a hunting education program in Arizona called the Arizona Hunting Club. We recently built an online Arizona hunting workbook that teaches new hunters how to hunt. In compiling this workbook, we researched a lot of hunting books. Most of them give a lot of personal hunting tales on the way an individual hunts. This book way was completely different. It tells you exactly how to pin point where animals will be eating, drinking and sleeping. If you want to learn how to hunt animals and predict where to find them in the woods, this is by far the BEST HUNTING BOOK you will every buy. And while it is written about deer hunting, the same exact principles work great for hunting elk in our home state, Arizona. NO we dont work for them, but we did include a ton of their material in our hunting workshops. You should definitely include this book if you want to learn how to become a successful hunter.

Comment:
I've hunted since the 60's. I got serious about Whitetails around 92'.
I talk to a lot of hunters and read a lot of books and watch videos and spend as much time as possible in the woods. Mr. Herndon's book has started to make everything gel in my mind.
As I read and think about this book I keep going over successful hunts I've had. Now, I am able to determine why they were successful and focus on more success in the future by using the stratagies discussed in this book.
There is no replacement for time in the woods and experience. But this book will definitely introduce structure and logic, to where and how to hunt instead of just instinct.
What I love about deer hunting is there is always something new to learn. And, of course, the adrenaline rush. Deer and especially Trophy bucks just aren't always predictable,too many variables, but this book will help organize all of your whitetail wisdom.
