This groundbreaking book is loaded with new scientific research that will help you become a better deer hunter.

This comprehensive guide provides a compilation of in-depth coverage on all methods used to hunt whitetail deer consistently and successfully. Fiduccia’s real-world hunting strategies will benefit both the novice and the veteran deer hunter. Each chapter is specifically designed to provide readers with enhanced skills through innovative tips, as well as strategies to help take their deer hunting success to the next level.

Many of the chapters include information rarely seen in print before—such as the fact that the moon has nothing to do with the rut (peak breeding season), that hunting is actually great during periods of bad weather, that hunting far off the beaten path is not necessarily the best way to get a big buck, and much, much more. Fiduccia takes these nuggets of information and, with his five decades of whitetail hunting experience, devises strategies that work and that many hunters have never even considered. Simply, anyone who reads this book will gain the knowledge they need to take racked bucks consistently.
