 Advanced Mapping June 21, 2006
Finally! An excellent book I can't imagine any serious hunter not owning! Before reading this book, it took me years of mistakes and hours of wasted time in the wrong spots to hunt. It all makes sense when I compare my few encounters of success, with the great information provided in this well-written book. I can't wait to see an "Advanced Mapping" edition!!!! Please Brad, share more of this great advice!
The Master of Topography. June 13, 2006
Brad Herndon is a master at using the terrain to tag whitetailed deer. Before reading this book, I knew whitetails used terrain funnels to travel, but I did not understand how to recognize them. All of that changed when I read 'Mapping Trophy Bucks.' I can now view a topo map of an area I've never set foot on and pick out the best places for a hunt. My deer sightings have gone up tenfold!!
If you want to understand how whitetails relate to the terrain, and how to read a topographical map, this is an absolute must read!!
Best deer hunting book I have read. May 12, 2006
I have own and have read countless books on deer hunting. Most say exactly the same things. "Hunt scentfree", "Stay all day", "The rut is the best time to hunt". If you deer hunt at all this is not new information. THis book mentions this information but it treats it like common knowledge and focuses on terrain and deer behavior as it is affected by the terrain. It has the absolute best explainations of various wind conditions I have seen. In short, this book is the first to have a signifigant impact on my hunting. I can't wait to apply this information to stand location and scouting. I have hunted the same area for 10+ years and will enter the woods this year as a completely different hunter.
Excellent book! March 24, 2006
Excellent book that changed the way for me to start hunting in the best way you could ever imagine!. Basics and advance tool to analyze and be prepared for your hunting time.
Stop Spending Unproductive Time In The Woods October 17, 2005
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Many whitetail deer hunters take a leisurely stroll through the woods, find a rub or scrape, and climb the nearest tree. Then they wonder why they hunt day in and day out only to see nothing. Brad Herndon reveals the secrets of using various terrain features to your advantage in order to maximize your chances of taking a whitetailed deer -- be it a doe for the freezer or a trophy buck.
Deer are creatures of habit, and just like humans, they prefer to take the easiest route from Point A to Point B. Sure deer visit areas where you find sign, but how often? Perhaps they visit these areas outside of legal hunting hours. Your best bet is to locate certain terrain features that deer prefer in order to best spend your time in the woods. Topographical maps are the key to locating these hotspots.
Now let me speak from personal experience, as I have been a fan of Brad Herndon's work for many years. I started following his monthly terrain articles in Whitetail Hunting Strategies magazine and followed his advice. The hunting locations that I chose based on his information lacked deer sign and I actually had hunting partners scoff at my chosen locations at times. But they aren't laughing anymore. I've taken 7 mature bucks in the last 9 seasons by following Brad's advice.
Brad Herndon is a wildlife photographer by trade, and this expertise shows in this book. Excellent color photos are found on virtually every page. His illustrations show that the average guy (and gal) can take trophy bucks. Even his wife has taken some bruiser bucks -- and these weren't harvested on managed ranches or large food plots as is commonly seen on televised hunting shows. No, the Herndons hunt public and private land near their home, picking their stand locations from topographical maps from the comfort of their log home.
If you honestly want to increase your deer sightings, then you need to check out this book. You'll be amazed at the results.
