Summary

This is a must-read for whitetail hunters who are ready to take their sport to the next level. To be a radical bowhunter requires a serious commitment to mastering the skills and tactics that will enable you to realise your full potential for bagging monster bucks. So forget about luck and throw out all the old-fashioned bowhunting lessons you have been taught; if you want to harvest a big buck, you are going to have to think differently and make use of innovative products and resources. This book shows you how to find trophy hot spots, determine when bucks are most vulnerable, and take advantage of the latest products and equipment to get the job done. Information on scouting with digital cameras tells how to track the location and behaviour patterns of whitetails from thousands of miles away. Other sections include tips for hunting multiple spots at once, building a big buck factory, waiting for the optimal time to go in for the kill, and stepping up the competition to a one-on-one pursuit of Mr Big -- the buck of your dreams who will test the range of your skills, put all of your knowledge to use, and drive you to ultimate victory.
