Written by one of North America's most famous wildlife photographers and deer-hunting experts, THE DEER HUNTER'S ENCYCLOPEDIA is a compilation of years of columns, magazine articles, and tidbits of knowledge, touching on every facet of deer and deer hunting. Presented in a question-and-answer format, THE DEER HUNTER'S ENCYCLOPEDIA answers any type of question that the reader might have. Among the topics covered are hunting (tips, tactics, and how deer behave during hunting seasons); antlers (their development and significance, both to deer and to hunters); deer behavior; deer anatomy; fawns; deer management; and breeding and the rut. Illustrated with hundreds of Dr. Rue's photographs, THE DEER HUNTER'S ENCYCLOPEDIA gives the reader all the information needed not only to hunt deer successfully, but also to study, understand, and appreciate these animals throughout the course of the year.
