Hunting Open Country Mule Deer: A Guide for Taking Western Bucks With Rifle and Bow

This is an exhaustive look at techniques of successful hunting for open-country bucks throughout the West by one of the most respected outdoor writers in the country. Often praised as the best book ever written about hunting mule deer, and in particular getting in close to them, its 14 chapters and four appendices cover such topics as Planning a Hunt, Spotting and Stalking, Optics for Spotting, Closing in on the Animal, The Stalk, Making the Shot, Tackle and Gear, Meat Care and Physical Conditioning, and other subjects. The book is the best source of information available on how to get in close to big mule deer bucks whether hunting with the rifle or the bow. Schuh's approach is from that of a bowhunter, but the advice he gives applies equally well to the rifle hunter. 70 photographs illustrate the techniques of successful mule deer hunting. 6x9, 184 pages.
