November at Full Draw: An Illinois Bowhunting Story

November at Full Draw is not a typical hunting story. Daniel Alcorn chronicles his pursuit of an Illinois whitetail during the November 2026 rut, from the long lead-up and preparation, the mounting anticipation, and the readying of equipment through to the hunt itself and the days spent in deer camp. But the heart of the book lies elsewhere. Alcorn turns his attention to the relationships shaped, tested, and deepened by the hunt, and to the people who share the woods, the fire, and the waiting with him. It is a story about the season, and about what the season gives back.
