The Blackwater Deer Hunting Guide

Six decisions sit behind every hunt: wind, rut, window, sit, log and recover. This book takes them in that order. Read the wind the way the forecast writes it, find your county’s rut window and know what it measures, pick the sit of the week, climb attached, log every sit, and know what you will do after the shot before you raise the gun. Where the law differs, each chapter lays Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Alabama, North Carolina and Tennessee side by side, read from each state’s own agency and law, and every chapter shows the same skill in the Hockline app.
