Why would anyone want to roadhunt? Some folks might ask. A number of you reading this bookalready know why you would. A number of those who ask this question with shock and dismaywill be landowners who ironically will have posted large chunks of property to keep everyonebut themselves, their friends and family out; then sadly shake their head at the state of aff airswherein roadhunting exists. The fact is that if there were decent access for all roadhuntingwould not exist to the extent that it does. But often times the people that bitch and complainthe most about roadhunting are those that are primarily responsible for it. For some folksroadhunting is nothing more than a means to extend their hunting time while driving to andfrom their hunting area and/or something to do on days where there is inclement weather.For others, especially those who live where there is little to no public hunting land; roadhuntingmay be the only practical way to put game in the freezer. Landowners (contrary to what manyof them would have you believe) do not own the deer or other game. Wild animals are owned(so to speak, if anyone really can own them) by the public; and you my friend are a member ofthe public. Many landowners feel that they de facto own wild game because it lives on theirproperty, so if you must temporarily access someone elses private property to get what isyours, then so be it.I would freely admit that roadhunting is hardly the highest form of hunting out there;unfortunately a lot of us have neither the time nor money either to aff ord their own propertyor travel to top notch hunting locations. There is nothing that says roadhunting and fi eldhunting have to be mutually exclusive; that you have to do either one or the other. The authorspends three hundred plus hours a year deer hunting in the fi eld or woods and some years arecertainly better than others. Therefore when a gift deer comes along and presents itself by theroad, Im not going to feel bad about taking it. I fail to see how anyone can be hurt by knowinghow to roadhunt; whether you practice it or not is up to you, but you may fi nd the knowledgehelpful some day when times get tough. Also nothing says you cant use what you learn fromthis book just to help enhance your deer viewing activities. Once you learn roadhunting its likeriding a bicycle or shooting a rifl e; you never really forget how. And even if you dont care forthe instructional portions of this book, hopefully you will fi nd the stories entertaining.A majority of this book has to do with roadhunting whitetail deer (with a chapter thrown in aboutsmall game) in Michigan. However the author would point out that he has spotted whitetailin eight other states and two Canadian Provinces. Also I have at diff erent times spotted muledeer, elk, and antelope. Being who I am, I couldnt help but notice that on numerous of theseoccasions I honestly believe I could have pulled off a successful roadhunt had I so desired.Although the hands on tactics, so to speak, laid out in this book are based on experiences thathappened in Michigan, I fi rmly believe that they can be used almost anywhere.Some of the tactics and information contained in this book are legal in some places and notothers; and some are illegal everywhere. Therefore this book should be read for educationaland entertainment purposes only. Neither the author nor publisher accepts any responsibilityor liability for the use or misuse of information contained in this book.With that said; good luck and good hunting.
