Description
* Solutions to deer management and conservation problems * Written by a leading authority on deer and author of Deer Watch, Roe Deer, and Humble Pie Deer give rise to many problems, whether in management and conservation, their annoying habit of eating trees and garden plants, or the practical details of deerstalking. The book is divided into sections like Antlers, Behavior, Damage, Stalking kit, each section with an overview of the topic, often containing humorous examples of the interface between deer and man and how they might be overcome. Deer contains practical, well-tested solutions backed by the author's lifetime of experience. More than that, it is eminently readable--just the thing to dip into by the fire at the end of a hard day's stalking.
Reviews / Votes
'No matter what your particular interest in deer you will find this book a real gem. I thought I knew a thing or two about deer until I started to delve into some really interesting topics covered in this beautifully presented book which comes in hardback with colour photographs throughout and written in typical Prior style; authoritative and down to earth... Packed with so much useful information, it will be a most useful addition to any deer related enthusiast's bookshelf. Hats off to Richard for the dedication within. Only a master could have written this. Do get a copy: you will not be disappointed.' - John Thornley, BDS Deer magazineMore details
