A complete guide to one of hunting's most effective techniques.

Here is the comprehensive handbook to luring game to within gun or bow range. Drawing on years of experience as a professional hunting guide, Judd Cooney teaches hunters that attracting game is a lot more complicated than sticking a plastic likeness into the ground and then hiding behind a tree, waiting passively for your quarry to show up. Effective decoying, in fact, calls for a sophisticated blend of tactics, including the subtle arts of using the wind, calling, and scent utilization. Working as a guide for both hunters and photographers, Cooney has had to attract animals reliably in all kinds of conditions, and has honed his skills in luring everything from antelope to whitetails to bears to mountain lions. Now for the first time, he reveals the keys to his success. With easy-to-use information for beginning as well as experienced hunters, Decoying Big Game touches on every aspect of this increasingly popular form of hunting. Chapters cover topics such as the ancient roots of decoying, and what we can learn from that history; the philosophy of decoying; and specific sections on attracting whitetails, elk, moose, pronghorns, predators, turkeys, and more. Don't be fooled by other books posing as the authority; Decoying Big Game is the real thing. (6 x 9 1/4, 240 pages, b&w photos)Judd Cooney has been active in the outdoor writing and photography field since 1966 and has been a member of the Outdoor Writers Association of America for 34 years. He served as OWAA president in 1996 and was chariman of the board in 1997. In 2001, Cooney was inducted into the Bowhunter's Hall of Fame for his contributions in advancing the sport of bowhunting.
