A new book titled Boone & Crockett Club’s Complete Guide to Hunting Whitetails provides deer hunters with a wealth of information not commonly found in websites, magazines and other books.
As hunters we mostly try to figure out where deer are moving and then set up an ambush along that route.
Experienced hunters are sometimes dismissive of deer pellets as valuable sign. "I thought only novices got excited about finding droppings," a hunting partner once said when I bent down to examine a fresh pile.
But the experts may be dismissing this sign too hastily. Deer droppings can actually reveal lots of practical insights that can help you waylay a trophy buck.
As deer season approaches, over the next few weeks we'll discuss ways to minimize your impact and maximize your chances of tagging a big buck this season.
