Deer Hunting In Eastern Canada

Welcome to Canada-home of the big bucks. Whitetail monarchs freely roam through the hardwood forests and crop fields in the checkered agricultural belt of this vast land. Heredity endows our deer with large bodies and matching massive antlers, but environment dictates behavior. Canadian whitetails are different and behave differently from their southern brethren. No matter where you have hunted before, deer hunting in Canada is a brand new game. Your old, tried-and-true ways will not work here. New tactics and strategies are required. Veteran hunter, Dragan Vujic, shares close to forty years of hunting experience in this comprehensive book on Canadian Whitetail Hunting. The book itself is divided into three parts-The Facts About Canadian Whitetails (general information, game laws, social structure, habitat, communication, breeding behavior, anatomy, kill zones), Critical Factors That Determine Canadian Whitetail Behavior (weather, phases of the moon, hunting pressure, time of year, scents, doe to buck ratios, time of day, food sources), Effective Canadian Whitetail Hunting Strategies (archers, snipers, stalkers, callers, drivers, blockers). Within these sections, Dragan Vujic covers all of the key components for hunting whitetails in Canada. Additional chapters include tactics for all situations, the recently new phenomenon of hunting deer in the suburbs and tracking wounded whitetails. [email protected]

The Culture of Hunting in Canada covers elements of the history of hunting from the pre-colonial period until the present in all parts of Canada and features essays by practitioners and scholars of hunting and by pro- and anti-hunting lobbyists. The result crosses the boundaries between scholarship and personal reflection, and between academia and advocacy. Topics include hunting identities; conservation and its relationship to hunting; tensions between hunters and non-hunters and between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal hunting groups; hunting ethics; debates over hunting practices and regulations; animal rights; and gun control. This book makes an unprecedented contribution to the study of hunting in Canada and its role in our culture.

Within the page of TROPHY WHITETAILS, experts like Charles Alsheimer, Michael Pearce, Gary Clancy and Michael Hanback share their strategies for pursuing the elusive trophy whitetail. You'll also walk along with Jack O'Connor, Charles Elliott, Jim Zumbo and other Outdoor Life legends as they relive special moments spent chasing trophy bucks.

An aging Eastern-Canadian outdoorsman, faced with the prospect of his generation being the last of the deer hunters, answers the questions he anticipates getting from his grandchildren. Narrated as if around a campfire, this is a comprehensive and creative combination of recollections and rants, ranging in style from poetic and philosophical to controversial and comedic. It focuses on his experiences, observations and deductions and the reasons he continues to hunt - the tradition, the relationships, and the fascination of the forest. Not a typical hunting book, it presents a few surprises and opinions that are sure to generate heated discussions back at the hunting camp.
