Mapping Trophy Bucks 
asked by shirley49 on November 7, 2006 1:32 PM
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

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.

Finally! An excellent book I can't imagine any serious hunter not owning! Before reading this book, it took me years of mistakes and hours of wasted time in the wrong spots to hunt. It all makes sense when I compare my few encounters of success, with the great information provided in this well-written book. I can't wait to see an "Advanced Mapping" edition!!!! Please Brad, share more of this great advice!
