This book was recomended in an article from Bohunter Magazine. The author uses actual hunt examples to intoduce each new chapter, and he has obviously taken some good trophies with these methods. Of particular note is how the author stresses the impotance of using the wind properly. He explains how you can have the perfect location, but if you don't follow his reccomendation about wind use you will never connect. Ther are good color photos, a setup from an actual map and a drawn version for each type of location to use. I would have prefered more maps from actual setups across all types of habitat throughout the country, but the author still gets his point accross and possibly is just trying to aviod confusion. Some sections I had to take notes on to be sure I didn't miss details. Don't get me wrong, it's not that hard to read, and its the kind of book you can read a chapter or so at a time and not be lost when you come back. This book shows that you don't have to spend time or money on the food plot craze to get good deer, just learn a few basic setups that will be PRODUCTIVE and forget everthing else (but the wind). The book also reveals some interesting info about mid day hunting, a time of day that most hunters scorn, but you better re-think that position. Overall a good book that could put an inexpirienced hunter on a quick path to true consistant success, something that I wish I had 10 years ago. It may also explain to a somewhat seasoned hunter why certain setups they had much less success than they thought they should have and why they are doomed to failure in certain setups(usually becacuse of the wind for reasons the auther explains). Definitely worth the $15 plus shipping I spent.Read full review
Local Southern Indiana author with lots of knowledge on how to use publicly available data to locate the big 'uns. Brad Herndon leaves the reader with no doubt about the terrain features and techniques for the deer hunter to employ to their advantage. I live in the author's locale, and was introduced to this book by a friend who also believes in Mr. Herndon's methods, as we hunt in the hardwood hills just like the author. I bought the book here because I was able to purchase and have it delivered to my door step for 50% of the retail price. GET THIS BOOK!!!
I know the author personly,and know that he and his wife consistantly harvest big bucks. Also he is a great outdoors photographer and writer. His photos and articles have been published in several of the major outdoor magazines. I think this book will help me to become a better hunter. I belive it will help me to figure out where the bigger bucks will be. I harvest deer yearly but have never taken a true trophy buck, I belive this book will help me do that.
The book is very well written with a ton of examples and applications. It has helped me read terrain like never before
