What are some of your Favourite Reads on the Natural History of the White Tail deer? Thanks in advance
-
Natural history? Not really sure, but my favorite books about whitetails have been written by Gene and Barry Wensel, Roger Rotthhar, Bill Vale, John Eberhartd, etc.
-
I just finished reading Deer in their World by Erwin Bauer. Really good photos, and lots of information. Not just about whitetails, though.
-
Wensel brothers!

'Making the most of your Deer'
Not about hunting, tactics, techniques, seasons, methods, habitat or habits.
This books starts with your deer on the ground.
Hunting 'manuals' are all well & good if you happen to live in the same area as the author & hunt similar terrain. How many tmes have we been told to hunt the Rut in late October? Try that down here & you'll be 6-8 weeks early.
Tactics & methods used in the mid-west are great for the mid-west, but largely useless for the southeast.
I'd rather figure out how to hunt Tennessee deer by myself (or until someone writes a book called 'Hunting tiny, public land deer in a wifebeater & shorts')
What I do want to know, however, is how to best utilise every bit of whatever I shoot.
Do you know how to make soap from deer fat?
The author of this book does ;)

For a combination story about conservation and whitetails you can't beat Jim Hamm's "Ishi and Elvis"
-
Thanks for the suggestions!
-
robtatoo, you ain't right. LOL
With a wife beater!!! LOL
-
I liked " Shots at Whitetails."
-
Not limited to just whitetail deer, the Whitehead Encyclopedia of Deer covers every species across the globe both present and past including the extinct giant elk.
-
I'm in the process of reading "Once upon a Tine" by Barry Wensel and this book is truly a great read :thumbsup: If you don't have a copy and you like to be entertained, then this is a book for you :clapper:
-
Gene and Barry Wensel. I am reading once upon a time, and it is great!! I also just finished Autumn Leaves, very good also. Kustom King on sale for like 10 bucks

Forgot to mention, the author's name is Dennis Walrod (ISBN 975-0-8117-3162-1)
-
get the original info read John Wooters and Roger Rothar
-
The bar was set pretty high when I read Gene's book, "Hunting October Whitetails". I have not found a better one yet. And, I have a few.
-
John Ozoga, I believe wrote a series. Called whitletail spring, whitetail summer, whitetail fall, whitetail winter.
Its mostly about the biology of deer and what they do during each season, not so much a history lesson
Check Amazon.
Regards,
Brian

The Eberharts have a book out just like that- only I think it is what you the hunter should be doing month by month .
-
Agree, definitely Rothhaar and Wensels on hunting trophy bucks, but "Natural History" of whitetails, don't believe there is a really good one printed out there, unless maybe one of Lenard Lee Rue books.
-
Anything By The wensels or Rothaar
