They too recognize that deer in places like Iowa, Kansas, and Illinois are just easier tokill than deer that experience much more pressure from hunters.

I apologize that this statement caused some offense, I meant it in a general way and not as an insult to the hard work you have done to harvest mature bucks. I am sure you have areas that receive a lot of pressure in any state.

In the book they cover the usual topics found in deer hunting books, but from a very different perspective.

There's not many "new" tactics, just twists on the tactics that most of us have already seen in other books or videos. Like hunting higher in the tree, or using a tree saddle. Hunting the edges, scrapes, and staging areas. Same stuff -but all of it with the premise of other hunters causing pressure that impacts the deer herd.

I believe the deer herdin South Alabama is among the most pressured in the country. And this book really spoke to me as a bowhunter. They have experienced all the same frustrations that I have.

This is just my opinion, nothing more. Maybe someday I'll get to come to the Mid-West and hunt those big bucks! Then I'll see what it's like for myself! I've been to Texas, and the deer I hunted there werecertainly easier to locate and harvest. But that's not to say that in other areas of Texas the deer may be harder to get at. Just my experience.

Anyway, good luck to all.
