Publisher's Synopsis
White-tailed deer are without a doubt the most popular game animal in America today. But modern deer hunting is just the most recent chapter in a complex history of deer hunting that helped shape the history of our entire nation. Whitetails have been feeding and clothing pioneer families since the first European explorers set foot upon our shores, but were nearly exterminated by the destructive effects of market hunting. Early efforts at conservation turned the tide and led to the rise of whitetail hunting as a form of leisure, right up to the advanced game management practices of today. This 144-page vault covers it all with historic images, graphics and replicas of deer. hunting memorabilia--(Amazon).
