Successful Big Game Hunting



Duncan Gilchrist has written a great book hunting a lot of different game all over what many would consider the Western part of the country.  I personally learned quite a bit about hunting in general, and I would daresay this is the first stop on your journey of harvesting western game.  While some of the information at first glance might seem outdated (the book was published in 1987).  The tips and techniques are still useful, and will give you some very good starting points to begin researching your western adventure.
