Whitetail Deer Hunting My Way

10 years ago if it was deer season, I was in the woods. I still try to follow that rule but New York State has made the hunting season so long, I can’t afford the loss of income for that amount of time. On top of that, 70 or more days open for deer season is a wicked strain on my senses. I am hung up on the quarter moon phase for my dream buck hunt. I always plan my hunting around these two moons. The length of the bow/gun deer season allows for two full moon phases. A small part of my reasoning here for a shorter deer hunting season is, envy I suppose. The fact is, I’m a self employed landscaper, watching these two extra quarter moons go through their phases and not being able to fit them in to my hunting budget. I will hopefully make more sense of this moon theory, later on in this book. Pay attention because there is tip after tip buried in each story. Maybe not always a new one but there’s a bunch of them here. My stories are true facts, my methods and techniques have all proven themselves many times for me, over a life time of whitetail deer hunting. Now hopefully, you have time to kick back and enjoy a fact filled humorous book about whitetail deer hunting done my way in Columbia and Greene Counties of New York State.

See what it takes to track trophy-sized bucks like the legends do. If there is such a thing as hunting royalty, then the Benoit family is it. They have been raking in trophy-sized bucks since Larry Benoit first began to pioneer his unique tracking methods. As the family grew, so did the Benoit hunting repertoire, expanding beyond simple snow tracking to all-season tracking. Author Bryce M. Towsley had a unique opportunity in the late nineties: to deer hunt with the Benoits for an extended period in the deep woods of Maine. He spent time with the Benoit family observing and learning their hunting tactics, techniques, and long-protected secrets. The product of Towsley’s inclusion in the Benoit family tradition is Big Bucks the Benoit Way. Fully illustrated with Towsley’s beautiful, full-color photography and written with his trademark prose and with a new introduction by the author, it tracks his experience following in the footsteps of the great Benoit hunters, learning their craft and sharing it with you. Big Bucks the Benoit Way is more than an exploration of the fine art of tracking bucks; it’s a glimpse at the heart and beauty of American big-game hunting.

From prominent outdoorsman and nature writer Mark Kenyon comes an engrossing reflection on the past and future battles over our most revered landscapes--America's public lands. Every American is a public-land owner, inheritor to the largest public-land trust in the world. These vast expanses provide a home to wildlife populations, a vital source of clean air and water, and a haven for recreation. Since its inception, however, America's public land system has been embroiled in controversy--caught in the push and pull between the desire to develop the valuable resources the land holds or conserve them. Alarmed by rising tensions over the use of these lands, hunter, angler, and outdoor enthusiast Mark Kenyon set out to explore the spaces involved in this heated debate, and learn firsthand how they came to be and what their future might hold. Part travelogue and part historical examination, That Wild Country invites readers on an intimate tour of the wondrous wild and public places that are a uniquely profound and endangered part of the American landscape.
