Arizona Hunting Workbook Introduction

The purpose of this hunting workbook is to try and cram 30 years of reading wildlife hunting and fishing magazines into a quick and easy workbook that will teach you how to hunt. Please note, there is no way to include every single hunting trick, tip or strategy into a single source, but we wanted to try to hit the major points in order to give you a good base to build on.

There is a lot of information in the following chapters, but if you take the time to read it all, attend one of our hunting workshops and go on one of our scouting field trips, you should be able to stumble across deer and elk like the photos below:

When combined, our seasoned hunting club members can account for more than 2,000 years of hunting knowledge and experience that we would be more than happy to pass onto to you.

If you have any questions regarding the content or strategies outlined on this page, please post them so that we can further explain complex topics that need additional clarification.

In the hunting world, there is no such thing as a dumb question.

As all authors do, I would like to dedicate this hunting workbook book to several people who were kind enough to show me how much fun it was to enjoy camping, fishing and hunting in the great outdoors:

1. My Father, Ken Hoskins, who impressed me at a very young age by killing a nice 8-point white tail with a bow. That buck hung on our living room for years before I actually tried hunting.
2. My Uncle, Bill Elder, who patiently taught my brothers and I how to dove hunt. He always let the kids shoot first. God bless an adult who gives a kid a chance to go hunting.
3. My Father-in-Law, Mike O'Neal, who woke up a dormant hunting gene within me when he invited me to go on my first successful deer hunt. I will never forget seeing my first white tail and watching it jump 10 feet straight up in the air when I squeezed the trigger. That rush of adrenaline is something that I will live for until the day I die.
4. My dear old Granddad, Melvin C. Rogers, who never killed or caught anything. He simply liked walking down a trail through the forest at sunrise or sunset and enjoying the wonderful views that mother nature gives us. He loved practical jokes and made it a point to teach me the value of including laughter at every twist and turn throughout life.
