The Bowhunter's Handbook

Coming from England where bow hunting is illegal, this book was an eye opener to me. The book deals with all types of statergies involved in bow hunting, from concealment to stalking, equipment and camoflage, watching and calling. Each huntable four legged game is shown and analysed by its size, habitat and habits. They detail the senses of each species whether they rely primarily on sight, hearing or smell. Tactics and techniques are discussed after a short description of each animal hunted. Being from England I felt a little sad at the thought of trophy hunting such beasts, so did the authors, although they had experienced the hunt too. The book is very saftey concious through out and tries to put over the right and wrong ways to preserve the sport in the public eyes. Although I said the book turned me soft the whole approach was realistic and to any bow hunter anywhere it must be read for the drops of intelligence and understanding of your sport.
