This high-quality hardback book is a limited edition of 5000 copies.  It is sure to become a collectors item amongst serious whitetail hunting enthusiasts.

Don Higgins’ latest book seems destined to be a one-of-a-kind classic amongst whitetail hunting fanatics. Don started by recruiting a dozen highly successful and yet extremely ethical whitetail veterans and then left them with only this single instruction – “Write 2 or 3 chapters about any issue you want as long as it relates to whitetail deer hunting.” The result is a unique blend of how-to advice and big-buck stories seasoned with a bit of opinion and nostalgia. Each author’s unique personality is allowed to shine through as there was no editing for “political correctness.”

This 328-page hardback book contains over 100 color photos including some never before published photos of the authors during their “earlier years” as well as a number of whitetail paintings by superb wildlife artist Hayden Lambson. There is also a lengthy chapter on the history of modern day bowhunting, starting with the discovery of Ishi and continuing through today’s whitetail mania. Prepare to be entertained as these authors open up and share their un-edited thoughts and advice on hunting mature whitetails
