Pretty good overview of hog hunting, and has good resources for new hunters. Primary complaint is that the book assumes you are using a gun (probably should use a gun anyway) but I would have liked some information about compound bows and required specs for draw weight or maximum range for shots. Fixed or mechanical broadheads? Oh well. Draw weight requirement is probably 50+ pounds, something most recurves would be hard-pressed to achieve because of low kinetic energy compared to high-weight compounds.
