4) Best WMA's per species of game ( Yes, what is good in Oct. make stink the joint up in Dec.)
5) Harvest and hunting pressure info ( Just because deer Zone 5 averages 5,560 deer for the past 10 years does it make sense to hunt there if theres 25,000 hunters there. On 10 WMAs) Hopefully your are starting to see how this book is laid out.

I hope this clears up some questions. If there is any information that you would like to see in the book please feel free to reply. Good or bad we would love to hear it. We have thick skin. Briar and bug proof so to speak. This book is for you. You can help with your questions. There are no stupid ones. Just ones not asked.
Today, at Abbotts Meadow WMA in Elsinboro me and my 10 year old son were running our beagles, not hunting it's Sunday. We ran 4 rabbits in 3 hours, looking for horns and just tracking in the fresh snow. I found out why, we didn't find any antlers. My son said " dad look up there! " and sure enough there were 12+ deer looking at us about 20 yards out. 3 bucks, sevaral does and one really nice one. Wider then his ears, no point count, but nice. This spot is hunted hard all season for everything rabbits, waterfowl and deer. What do you know 4 rabbits seen and 12+ deer left. Remember it's hunting and nature only lets us take the excess. Good luck with what left guys. Hope to hear for you all. This book will help the average man as well as the man with money to buy land. As for the price not listed yet. Production cost will dictate the price. I gurantee it will save you time and gas. Even if you only use it 1 time. There will be a chart with mileage for certain location to the public grounds, just to give you an idea how early you have to wake up to travel there. Nice feature.
Till our trails cross,
Wild Work

Yeah, well I just use them as a guide. To get specific I visit the local tax collector... he has all kinds of maps of who owns what. Plus, they are up-to-date!!!!
