About this title

Review

"In this unsentimental monograph, [Rue] examines the physiology and ecological adaptations of blacktail, mule, and whitetail deer (the last more numerous today than in colonial times) to develop affirmative conservation/management policies... some of these will, no doubt, raise the hackles of people still blinded by the 'Bambi syndrome.'" --"Los Angeles Times
"If you're new to deer and deer hunting, it is absolutely essential that you add it to your library."--"Washington Sunday Times
"A readable, superbly illustrated work, as interesting as it is informative. The information Rue offers will sharpen even a veteran hunter's awareness of the complex nature of this great prey animal." --"Gray's Sporting Journal"

"Rue, a naturalist-photographer, has done a superb job of discussing the natural history of the deer on this continent." --Glenn L. Sapir, "Field and Stream"
"This is a book about the interaction of an animal, its environment, and its human neighbors. Hunters will find it immensely valuable. So will those who simply value the deer as an integral part of our wild heritage." --Adirondack Life "[This] will become the standard reference on North American deer" -- California Wildlife Magazine

From the Back Cover

For over thirty years, Dr. Leonard Lee Rue III'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. Dr. 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 and feeding habits to distribution and management controversies. With over three hundred black-and-white photographs and sixteen pages of color plates, The Deer of North America is a book that no one with an interest in deer can afford to be without.
