I don’t hunt from ground blinds much, but I had a client once who was an older gentleman and not up for the rigors of tracking. So when he smells, sees, or hears something that’s not part of his daily life, he is usually gone, and without hesitation. A farm-country buck probably smells diesel fuel and hears and sees human activity every day of his life, while a big-woods buck experiences almost none of that. I’ve hunted whitetails across the country, and one of the most glaring differences I see in big-woods deer is their lack of curiosity. Let’s say I hang it on a scrape line the buck who made those scrapes is going to come back, but it may take him the better part of a week, and he might do it at night. Well, I can hang a tree stand for you, but it may take a lot of days for you to even see a deer here. Every year I talk to guys who want to kill a big Maine whitetail, and then think they’re going to make that happen from a tree stand. It doesn’t make sense to me to have a vision of how you want a hunt to go, then book with an outfitter who doesn’t run his hunts that way. Know exactly what you’re after, and ask the guide if he can provide it. Randy Flannery Best Advice for Booking a Guided Hunt Flannery with a buck of his own (left) and a client’s buck.
Here are his thoughts about hunting and guiding for wilderness whitetails. Flannery’s Wilderness Escape Outfitters near Danforth, Maine, offers excellent fishing and bear hunting, but come November, Flannery turns to his main passion, guiding hunters to the big-bodied bucks that have made Maine famous.

I loved it so much I read it numerous times there-after, also as an adult when I spotted that orange cover in the public library. The story had me captivated the entire way.
This edition has great sentimental value to me as it was the very first book I read all the way from start to finish in primary school in the mid-seventies. I had been searching everywhere for a particular edition of this book (Orange dust cover - published in 1974).
