Finally, a follow up to Boddington's first volume. Updated with the tremendous changes and developments in big game rifles, ammo and bullets that have taken place in the 20 or so years since the initial offering. If you're not familiar with Boddington's work, this is the perfect intro to one of the world's foremost rifle authorities. Well written and enjoyable. ~ Reviewed by Nate George
Larry Benoit is a legendary figure among deer hunters throughout the US, and is considered by many to be the best deer hunter in the country. Towsley interviewed Benoit and his three sons for this book. He says they are primarily trackers and woodsmen, and that is the secret of their success. The book includes more than 150 photographs that illustrate both tried-and-true hunting methods and the enormous white tails they've produced.
The Benoits are one of Vermont's most well known yet secretive hunting families. ~ Reviewed by Louise Jones
There are lots of deer hunting titles available but this is one of the best. LOTS of info. on deer behavior, movements and habits. Fiduccia also covers the use of scents, mock rubs/scrapes, lures and the correct way to rattle all season long. Best of all, Fiduccia hunts in the Northeast, primarily New York state. ~ Reviewed by Nate George
