Inhaltsangabe

One of the most captivating aspects of hunting a whitetail buck is tracking and taking him on his turf, on his terms. For most hunters, tracking generates a feeling of satisfaction like no other deer-hunting tactic can. Yet while most of us fantasize about duplicating the efforts of the well-known trackers of Maine, such as the Benoits or Bloods, the reality of effective tracking is that it requires several critical elements.
Many hunters feel less than capable when it comes to knowing how to track a buck successfully. They have been brainwashed by magazine articles that leave them thinking that they must be doing something wrong. Nonsense! Peter J. Fiduccia tells us in Tracking Deer that tracking can be easy, if you learn to think like the deer and work to master the fundamentals.
In this comprehensive guide you will learn how to regulate and maintain space when pursuing a deer, which is key to remaining undetected. Crucial
factors such as reading sign, orienteering, and the importance of being in
tip-top shape are discussed in detail. You will also be trained to figure out the favorite trails of a wise old buck, what he will do under pressure, what his
preferred escape routes are, where he will head when he is nervous, and how he will use cover to his advantage. When added to basic tracking skills, all of these techniques will give you an edge this hunting season, even when you're hunting a trophy buck.

One of the most captivating aspects of whitetail hunting is tracking a buck on his home turf. Yet the reality is that most of us hunt in fairly small, heavily pressured areas where big woods tactics just don't work, which can be very frustrating. Thankfully, in Whitetail Strategies, Vol. II, Peter Fiduccia explains that tracking big bucks in these areas can still be done with consistent success using
a few critical skills. You will learn how to accurately judge a track, how not to pressure a buck into running into the next property or, worse, another hunter, and how to interpret more subtle sign left behind by a cagey buck.
In this comprehensive guide you will also discover how to track a wounded buck by examining the hair and blood left at the impact site, which can tell you where he was hit and what he will do next. Observing the injured buck's body language after the hit provides further clues for tracking, and each type of hit is discussed in detail along with a variety of essential tips for improving your tracking ability.
But this is not just a book about tracking deer - not by a long shot. Fiduccia also provides in-depth coverage on underutilized methods of deer calling. Understanding deer vocalizations and then mastering each call will without a doubt lead to more shot opportunities. You will be amazed at the results when you follow Fiduccia's simple guidelines for when, where, and how to call.
The wealth of other tips and tactics includes timing your hunts for specific days within the rut, reading complex air currents, interpreting the moon phase, and using unusual but effective decoy tactics. This is a must-have book for anyone who wants to see and bag more mature bucks.
