Description - Tracking Deer by Peter J. Fiduccia
One of the most captivating aspects of hunting a whitetail buck is having the skill to track and take him on his own turf. For most hunters, tracking generates a feeling of accomplishment like no other deer-hunting tactic can. Yet while most of us fantasize about duplicating the efforts of the well-known trackers of Maine and Vermont-such as the Benoits, the Bloods, and the Berniers-the reality of effective tracking in heavily pressured areas is that this particular type of tracking requires several critical skills.
Many hunters feel less than capable when it comes to knowing how to track a buck successfully in places other than big woods. They have been brainwashed by magazine articles that leave them thinking they must be doing something wrong. Nonsense! Peter Fiduccia tells us in Whitetail Strategies, Vol. II that tracking big bucks in areas where most hunters stalk deer can be done with consistent successes--if you learn to use the tactics Fiduccia suggests in his book, and work to master these fundamentals.
In this comprehensive guide you will learn how to accurately judge a buck track and when it was made, and how not to pressure a buck into running onto the next property or into another hunter. Fiduccia explains in commonsense terms how to maintain space when pursuing a deer, which is key to remaining undetected, and discusses crucial factors such as reading sign, when to slow or pick up your pace, and the importance of being able to interpret the subtle signals a buck leaves behind when dogged by a tracker.
Fiduccia also discusses how to figure out the favorite trails of a wise old buck, what he will do under tracking pressure, what his preferred escape routes are, where he will head when he knows he is being followed, and how he will use certain types of cover to his advantage. When added to basic tracking skills, all of these techniques will give you an edge this hunting season, even when you� 2re hunting a trophy buck.
But this is not just a book on how to track deer-not by a long shot. Fiduccia also covers in detail real facts about the rut; how to effectively use deer calls; understanding wind; thermal and convection currents; understanding a buck� 2s body language; moon phase; decoy tactics; and much more. This is a must-have deer-hunting book for anyone who wants to see and bag more mature bucks.
