Calling is the art of deception. One creates a false, but convincing, illusion. There are many methods of calling. This is old knowledge that is currently being rediscovered by modern science. Whitetails rely on three primary sensory systems for survival-auditory, visual and olfactory. Therefore, they can be tricked on any of these levels. The main objective of any form of calling is to manipulate a deer to approach within comfortable shooting distance. This book offers techniques and tactics for luring in whitetails. It illustrates how to fool all three senses of the whitetail.

In their formative years, whitetails develop an intimate relationship with their environment. Thereafter, these big game animals resonate in perfect harmony with their specific surroundings. Behavior patterns of timberland, mountain bred, prairie flats and farm country deer vary substantially. Whitetails behave differently depending on where they are hunted. Predominantly, habitat dictates habits and routines in daily activity. Deer patterns become relatively uniform and reasonably predictable in any particular region. Irrespective of where they live, all whitetails become creatures of habit. Dragan Vujic has hunted whitetails extensively in the checkered agricultural belts scattered along both sides of the border between Canada and the United States.
