Full Description
For over thirty years, Leonard Lee Rue's THE DEER OF NORTH AMERICA has been the definitive book on the life and habits of the four deer species of North America-mule, whitetail, blacktail, and Sitka. Leonard Lee Rue III, one of America's most respected naturalists and wildlife photographers, has written a comprehensive, fully illustrated book that covers every important facet in the lives of deer, from anatomy to feeding habits, distribution to management controversies. With over three hundred black-and-white photographs and sixteen pages of color plates, THE DEER OF NORTH AMERICA is a book no one with an interest in deer can afford to be without.
