Precision Bowhunting

A Year-Round Approach to Taking Mature Pressured Whitetails

This book is laid out in a month-by-month format as to what to do during the entire year, and also includes chapters on Hunting in the Rain, All-Day Hunting, Hunting on the Ground, Hunting the Suburbs, The Baiting Problem, and Hunting Away from Home.

Unlike TV shows and hunting videos, where the properties being hunted are gross misrepresentations of normal deer herds and normal hunting conditions, this book gives solid, pertinent information to hunters hunting in heavily hunted areas. In pressured areas you must deviate from the generic hunting practices seen on TV and in videos if you want a realistic opportunity at a mature buck.

FEATURE ARTICLE: Post Season Scouting

by John Eberhart

 

Scouting immediately after season unravels next falls rut-hunting clues

Seasons over and you have to pack your hunting gear away until next fall. But if you’re smart and ambitious, you’ll keep out some of those long johns and do some post-season scouting and tree preparation. 

Why scout after season?

Bucks in heavily hunted areas that survived their first antlered season react severely to human presence of any kind. They can’t differentiate between pre-season scouting and actual hunting, and more often than not become nocturnal before the season opens when there is an influx of human activity in the form of pre-season scouting.

During pre-season, you set up on summer bedding to feeding area sign, not rut sign, and statistically with 55% to 65% of the annual P&Y entries over the past ten years being taken during the rut phases, rut sign is what you want to set up on. Simply put, rut sign does not exist during pre-season as it does during post-season prior to any new spring growth.

Yes, there is a chance that the buck that made the sign you are looking at no longer exists. Even so, if the area he resided in, and patterns he used offered cover and doe traffic, it will likely attract another buck when the does start their estrous cycles.

RECENT TESTIMONIAL

To John and Chris

I have been hunting for 21 years with both bow and gun and had never before killed let alone seen a buck as big as the one I took with my bow in 2007. In the past three years I have taken 3 good bucks by Pennsylvania state land standards, and every year they just keep getting bigger, and without question I owe it all to you guys. After reading both of your books I ordered the DVDs and they aided in putting a picture to some of the areas you described in the books.

I live in Pennsylvania and primarily hunt state land in an area that literally gets absolutely hammered by hunters and as I stated, my success has been phenomenal since putting your hunting practices for pressured whitetails to work. It is amazing how something in life as simple as taking a few mature whitetail bucks can change the way your friends interact with you. I hate to sound cheesy but you guys have made my dreams come true and the least I could do is strongly recommend your books and DVDs to anyone who is serious about taking mature deer on public land or anyplace for that matter.

PS: my wife says I am much easier to live with now

Thanks
