The following review was written by Daryl Crimp for "The Fishing Paper & New Zeland Hunting News"
Following the sell out success of his first book Chasing Whitetails, accomplished hunter and raconteur John Delury has answered hunters’ cries for an encore with this stunning sequel. With over 300 pages of stories, tips, information, lore, facts and data pertaining to whitetail and amply supported with colour photos, Chasing Whitetail Bucks is a must read for all New Zealand whitetail hunters.
Chasing Whitetail Bucks is a classy book, one to pour over and one that will withstand rereading… and rereading. My pick is it will quickly sell out so don’t dally if you are in the mind to purchase a copy. . (Abridged)
