Years ago (30-35)I read an excellent book about a guy who was a good mule deer and elk hunter. If I remember correctly he shot a recurve. I'm not sure what his name was, but for some reason Cal sticks in my mind as possibly being his first name. I think Idaho was his home state, but I could be mistaken on that fact.
The book was a good read and presented some really interesting observations the hunter had made regarding the way elk and mule deer interact with one another. The book also described in detail how the hunter effectively positioned himself while stalking to take advantage of the animals natural movement patterns and detailed lots of hunting action. He admitted in the book that his stalking skills far exceeded his shooting skills in his early hunting years and that after he improved his shooting his hunting success improved markedly.
Can anyone help me out with the name of the book and/or the hunter? Like I said, it was a good interesting read, and I would like to find a copy.
