A must for any hunter’s or whitetail deer
enthusiast’s personal library, Bowhunting Records of North American
Whitetail Deer is designed as a handy, information-packed resource
tool. State and provincial listings are separated and ranked in
numerical order by final score. Scientific data gleaned from the
scoring forms in the archives, including final score, length of main
beams, inside spread, number of points, county where harvested, hunter’s
name, year taken, all-time rank and state rank, are given for each
specimen listed.
The listings are enhanced with portrait
photographs of the largest deer, typical and non-typical, for each state
and province. Also featured are dozens and dozens of quality field
photos and entry density maps for each state.
The book, edited by P&Y member Curt Wells,
contains a wealth of whitetail deer knowledge sure to make you a better
bowhunter. Bob Zaiglin discusses how to age deer “on the hoof” and Dr.
Dave Samuel looks at many of the myths surrounding scrapes and rubs.
M.R. James and G. Fred Asbell detail the challenges of ground hunting
and a bowhunting surgeon, Dr. Jack Frost, explains the biology of the
killing power of a broadhead—it’s all invaluable information even the
most experienced bowhunter can benefit from. Also included are
historical articles about the birth of bowhunting seasons (Wisconsin)
and a retrospective with Mel Johnson—the bowhunter who took the current
World’s Record typical whitetail deer…more than 40 years ago.
A digital version of the records is included with
this record book. The CD contains the whitetail deer record book (in .pdf
format) as well as the records information in database format (Microsoft
Excel, Microsoft Access and comma delimited files). Highly sought-after
and requested, this format allows users to personally sort the data
fields of their choosing on their PC. Copyright issues do not allow for
the reproduction or dissemination of this information.
