The idea of hunting big game sounds amazing, but where do you even start? Can you just wander into the woods with a weapon and start shooting stuff? And how does that surprisingly large deer, elk, or bear walking around out there ultimately become a steak on your kitchen table? And before we even get to that, how can you find these animals in the first place? If you didn't grow up in a hunting family and don't have anyone to show you the ropes, it can seem impossible to figure it all out on your own.This book is written with you - the total beginner - in mind. Not that long ago, I was the guy who was captivated by big game hunting but had no idea what I was doing. I still remember all the "dumb questions" I was afraid to ask but needed answers to.
