The author has been practicing archery for over 20 years, starting back on his fifth birthday. Seven years later, he began archery hunting with his father, a seasoned hunter of 30-plus years. The two belonged to an organization that is contracted by the local county in Pennsylvania to go into the parks to help handle the overgrowing whitetail deer population. The author also works with the organization to process the deer taken out of the parks for a local food bank. On average, the group manages to process over 2000 pounds of deer meat during the hunting season.

This guide is meant for those with all levels of experience in hunting. This includes those who are simply looking into the prospect of archery hunting to seasoned hunters who are looking to look elsewhere for new hunting practices. Starting things off, the guide will go over everything a good hunter will need in order to properly hunt the elusive whitetail deer. Since there are so many manufacturers out there today, the guide goes over the major differences in different equipment; from compound bows and recurves to the several styles of tree stands. It is an extensive look at the major components. Equipment is not enough to make a good hunter, as the guide then goes into an extensive collection of tips and tricks one would need to successfully hunt a whitetail deer. This includes how to walk into the woods, selecting the right spot, and the proper way to set up.
