Overview

Drawing on his years of experience, Judd Cooney, one of America’s most prominent outdoor writers and photographers, offers practical information on bowhunting big and small game across North America. Cooney shares his unique wealth of hunting information with tips and tactics for pursuing whitetail and Coues deer, elk, caribou, moose, bears, antelopes, mule and blacktail deer, and cougars. He offers sage advice on how to bowhunt for turkeys, javelina, hogs, game birds, and waterfowl and first-rate advice on bowfishing. With Cooney’s own practical field experience of over fifty years, you’ll find useful suggestions on what to do after the hit and steps for preparing your trophy when afield. This manual also includes a listing of Game and Fish departments throughout North America.

With crisp, honest, understandable language, this invaluable reference will teach everything a bowhunter needs to know when he sets out. For those who dream of hunting trips to far-away places or those who simply wish to improve their backyard hunting skills, Bowhunter’s Field Manual offers on-target assistance and comprehensible instructions. With the multitude of game that Cooney discusses, this guide is the ideal package—“good reading and generous information offered by an outdoorsman who has lived the words he chooses to share,” in the words of M. R. James, author of the book’s foreword.
