A book for every deer hunter to dip into--full of fascinating stories, facts, and information about everything to do with deer and deer hunting. Covering a wide variety of subjects from equipment and techniques to recipes and classic hunting tales, this is the perfect book for every deer-hunting enthusiast.
Deer of the World covers deer evolution, biology, and lifestyles, and surveys each of the fifty-five true deer, seven musk deer, and ten chevrotain species and their subspecies in detail with photographs, general information, and distribution maps. Many species featured are elusive and only very rarely photographed or observed.
Practical Deer Management offers candid and comprehensive advice for anyone who has to deal with deer and the issues they present, be they gardeners suffering attacks on their flower beds, foresters looking to prevent damage to newly planted trees, or landowners with larger scale problems. While a wealth of information on deer exists already, a career in teaching countryside managers quickly made it apparent that there was a need for a straightforward and comprehensive volume that is accessible to all. Written to be clear and easily understood, Practical Deer Management looks at the deer themselves and suggests non-lethal protective measures in addition to more active management, with attention given to other considerations such as health, the law and the practical construction of infrastructure such as high seats. A humane approach is stressed throughout. Practical Deer Management is an essential handbook for anyone who has to deal with deer and the problems that they may present.
